About the Business

Scout Coffee began as a passion project, thoughtfully crafted to create something truly unique.

This charming cafe and patisserie brings a touch of Paris to the heart of Labrador. Known for its speciality coffee and freshly baked pastries, it has become a local favourite thanks to its warm atmosphere and carefully curated menu.

Inside, the space features a beautifully designed interior with a mosaic floor, stone benches, walnut wood finishes, and elegant glass lighting. Natural light pours in through fold-back windows and doors, creating an open, airy setting perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends.

Outside, guests can enjoy a retractable roof shaded by a striking red poinciana tree, overlooking a tranquil community park. Just a few blocks from the Broadwater, Scout Coffee is conveniently located in a vibrant lifestyle hub, with easy access and ample off-street parking.

Key Benefits & Growth Opportunities

This isn’t just a cafe—it’s a business with untapped potential. The groundwork is already in place, but there’s significant room to expand. Key opportunities include:

Menu Expansion: Matcha was recently introduced and quickly became a customer favorite. There’s strong community demand for a breakfast offering, especially on weekends. A simple breakfast or all-day brunch menu could drive sales and foster greater customer loyalty.

Create a Signature Item: Develop standout menu items, such as innovative Matcha drinks or photogenic pastries, to build social media buzz and position Scout as a must-visit destination.

Optimised Operations: The cafes layout was expertly designed by a seasoned Gold Coast cafe operator, ensuring both style and efficiency. It allows smooth solo operation during quieter times and easy scalability for larger teams during busy periods.

Extending trading hours: Opening 7 days a week and staying open later in the afternoon (3-5pm) has the potential to significantly boost turnover. Additionally, operating on public holidays could increase annual revenue by approximately 25%, adding around all in an 65 extra trading days to the calendar.

Seasonal Evening Pop-Ups: Introduce a simple evening menu to capitalise on summer nights, offering a fresh revenue stream which could be done with little effort via a profit share with a local chef.

Community Events: Host monthly events such as Coffee Day parties—currently trending on Instagram—or a run club, using the café as the start and finish point. These initiatives build community engagement and attract new customers.
