Cozy Nook Café is a charming, fully built-out neighborhood café offering a rare turnkey opportunity for an owner-operator, seasoned restaurateur, or hospitality group seeking a ready-to-open space in a highly desirable Pasadena location. Designed with warmth and comfort in mind, Cozy Nook Café was created as an inviting gathering place for locals, professionals, and visitors alike.

The café is located inside an eight-story mixed-use building, providing a built-in customer base from residents, office workers, and daily foot traffic within the property. This setting offers consistent exposure and repeat business potential, particularly for breakfast, lunch, coffee, and grab-and-go offerings. In addition, the business includes two dedicated parking spaces, a valuable asset in this area that adds convenience for both staff and ownership. It seats 14 inside, 16 in the hallway and the building has seating in the courtyard.

Cozy Nook Café is attractively designed with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that encourages guests to stay, work remotely, or meet casually. The layout is efficient and functional, with a well-organized front-of-house and a fully equipped back-of-house designed for smooth operations. The space is ideal for a café concept, coffee and tea shop, light breakfast and lunch service, baked goods, or a specialty food offering.

This business is being offered as a turnkey asset sale, allowing a new owner to step in and begin operations quickly. All major equipment is included in the sale, eliminating the high cost and long timeline typically associated with a new build-out. The café is fully equipped with commercial kitchen equipment, refrigeration, prep stations, storage, service counters, and furnishings. The existing décor supports the warm “Cozy Nook” brand but can easily be adapted or rebranded to suit a buyer’s vision.

The location offers exceptional surrounding demand drivers. The café is next door to the Hilton, creating strong potential for hotel guest traffic, meetings, and catering opportunities. It is approximately one mile from the Rose Bowl, drawing activity during events and peak seasons. Kaiser Permanente is located just two blocks away, providing access to medical staff, patients, and visitors throughout the day. Additionally, the Pasadena Convention Center is only one block away, offering steady foot traffic from conferences, events, and exhibitions year-round.

Previously, Cozy Nook Café operated as a neighborhood favorite and benefited from repeat customers and community support. With the right operator, there is strong potential to rebuild momentum and expand revenue through Easy to run, Breakfast & Lunch hours only. Delivery platforms, online ordering, catering, or specialty menu offerings. The POS system is Toast.

This opportunity is ideal for a first-time owner seeking a lower-risk entry into the food and beverage industry, as well as experienced operators looking for a second location, pop-up space, or a fast launch for a new concept. The old owner stepped away due to personal issues-not due to issues with the location or build-out—making this an excellent value opportunity.

If you are looking for a well-located, thoughtfully designed café with built-in traffic, nearby anchors, parking, and infrastructure already in place, Cozy Nook Café presents a unique and compelling opportunity.
