Summary

With Huge Potential

About the Business

This café is not currently profitable - and we’re not pretending it is.

Priced at setup value only, this is a genuine opportunity for a hands-on operator to take over a well-equipped, operational café with a strong local following and serious growth potential. The current owner is unable to be involved in the day-to-day due to family commitments, and the business needs leadership to bring it back to its best.

Why This is a Smart Buy:
*Family-Friendly Focus - Currently geared toward the local family demographic, with a welcoming atmosphere and loyal regulars

*Full Fit-Out - Commercial kitchen, indoor/outdoor seating, everything in place

*Immediate Sales - Steady trade from locals, visitors, and nearby facilities

*High-Growth Area - 600+ workers arriving with the new desalination plant

*Outdoor Space - Ideal for weekend events, markets, or family-friendly gatherings

*Incredible Value - Just $49K + stock (well below replacement cost)

*Important - Please Read Before Enquiring :
This is not a profitable business right now.
There is no full Profit & Loss Statement available. If that’s a deal-breaker, please do not enquire.

We’re happy to provide top-line sales figures, but they reflect what the business is doing without an owner on site—not what it could do with someone hands-on and motivated.

*Be Upfront, Be Realistic:
This is a fully fitted café that would cost well over $100K to replicate. If you’re looking for a turnkey, high-profit venue at this price point, this isn’t it.


We welcome serious buyers who can see the potential and know how to run a lean, effective business. If you’re just looking to throw out lowball offers, please don’t waste your time or ours.

Who This Is For:
*Experienced café operators
*Buyers looking for a low-cost entry with upside
*Owner-operators ready to take control and drive performance
*Anyone who sees the value in a great setup and existing customer base

Opportunities for Growth:
Expand the current family-friendly base to include local workers and commuters

Introduce takeaway and delivery platforms (e.g. Uber Eats, Menulog)

Add worker-friendly breakfast and lunch specials or loyalty offers

Extend trading hours, refresh the brand, streamline staffing and costs

This is a working café with an excellent foundation—you’re not buying profit, you’re buying potential. And in the right hands, that’s worth far more than the asking price.

$49K + SAV – Priced to move.

*Genuine buyers only. No dreamers. No tyre kickers. No lowball offers.

If you can spot opportunity where others see challenge - get in touch.
