Summary
Thriving, values-driven café in Sydney’s east. Community-focused, sustainable, and well-established with smooth operations. A lifestyle business ready for handover. $130K negotiable.
Location Details
49 Clovelly Road
Excellent visibility from passing traffic and buses, with a steady flow of foot traffic. Located near Queens & Centennial Park, opposite city/beach bus stops and a dance studio. No direct café competition nearby.
Potential
The business is fully operational and runs smoothly with reliable staff managing day-to-day operations, including ordering. There’s still plenty of room to grow — extend trading hours, add dinner service or delivery, host community events or workshops (in high demand), or use the beautiful space for photoshoots or filming.
Skills
Ideal for someone with hospitality or business experience, but not essential. The current owners will provide a thorough handover and training to ensure a smooth transition. A passion for people, good coffee, and community is key.
Hours
Open daily 7 - 2 pm
Offering a great work-life balance & beach lifestyle.
Lease
Lease in place until June 2029. No formal option to extend, but potential for renewal subject to landlord approval.
Employees
Experienced, long-term staff in place and planning to stay. The team handles day-to-day operations independently, with owners currently filling occasional gaps. 2 staff on weekdays, 3–4 on weekends. Opportunity for owner involvement if desired.
Reason for Sale
Family-owned business. We’re relocating to grow our family outside of Sydney and are looking for the right person to continue what we’ve built.
About the Business
This well-established café has become a beloved hub in the local community, known for its specialty coffee, simple yet delicious food, and warm, welcoming atmosphere. From day one, we’ve focused on sustainability, connection, and quality — designing our menu to minimise waste while offering fresh, customisable options to suit every budget.
With around 75% returning customers, our café enjoys a loyal and diverse customer base. On weekdays, we welcome locals grabbing their morning coffee, mums with children between dance classes, remote workers, and professionals meeting over brunch. On weekends, the space comes alive with families sharing relaxed, hearty meals. It’s a space where people feel included, cared for, and at home — not just another café, but part of their daily rhythm.
We’ve cultivated an outstanding reputation, with 4.8 stars across 168 reviews, and constant word-of-mouth referrals. Our friendly staff and strong sense of community make this café a destination, not just a stopover. People come to stay, chat, and enjoy more than just their coffee.
What makes this business an excellent investment?
The hard work has already been done. From a high-quality fit-out to a smooth operational flow, everything is in place. All equipment, furnishings, stock, systems, supplier relationships, and procedures are included in the sale. We’ve built a strong partnership with Black Market Roasters, who not only supply our coffee but also maintain the equipment. We also have trusted local tradespeople — a plumber and electrician who helped build and maintain the café and know it inside out.
The team is well-trained and runs the café independently, with the owners only stepping in to fill occasional gaps. There’s a full handover and training package in place, so you can step in with confidence and begin trading from day one.
Beyond day-to-day operations, there’s plenty of potential to grow: extend opening hours, add dinner service, offer delivery or online sales, host community workshops or events, or even use the space for photoshoots and filming. The café also features a kids’ book library and a curated selection of treats that appeal to little ones and dog owners alike.
This is more than a café — it’s a lifestyle, a passion project, and a ready-to-go business with heart.
History
Opened in August 2019 by husband-and-wife team Lenka and Jacob, driven by a passion for zero waste and specialty coffee. We adapted through COVID, building deep community ties and a space where people felt safe and supported. Many customers from day one still visit daily.
