Live and Work in Coastal California -Turnkey Bakery (E2 Visa Suitable)
Asset Sale Description
Cafe Dawny is a fully fitted bakery and café located on Roosevelt Street in the heart of Carlsbad Village — a walkable, high-footfall coastal neighbourhood minutes from the beach, the Coaster station, and the weekly village farmers market.
The premises are built around genuine production capacity, not just a service counter. At the core is a Baxter roll-in rack oven under commercial extraction, paired with a matching Baxter roll-in proofer — the combination that lets a single operator run high-volume batch baking from full racks rather than tray by tray. Supporting this are two planetary mixers (a floor-standing Hobart and an American Eagle AE-20), a walk-in chiller and walk-in freezer, Hobart and True reach-in refrigeration, and generous dry goods and rack storage throughout.
Front of house is set up for a full café trade, with a Wega two-group espresso machine and refrigerated display cabinet at the counter.
The result is a rare second-generation food premises: hood, walk-ins, three-phase production equipment and café fit-out already in place. In a market where new restaurant construction has slowed sharply on cost and permitting timelines, an incoming operator can step in and begin producing without a ground-up buildout.
The layout suits a range of concepts — retail bakery, café, pastry or bread wholesale, commissary production, or a hybrid retail-and-wholesale model. Production capacity comfortably exceeds what a single retail counter requires, leaving genuine headroom for wholesale, farmers market or event channels alongside walk-in trade.
Offered as an asset and lease assignment sale. Equipment schedule, floor plan and lease terms available to qualified buyers on request.
