Asset Sale Description
**Turnkey 1,926 Sq Ft Café Asset Sale With Lease Transfer in Prime Chinatown-International District Location**
Take over a beautifully built, fully equipped 1,926 sq ft café in a high-visibility location in the heart of Seattle’s Chinatown-International District. This bright, modern café space is move-in ready and ideal for coffee, desserts, light food, pastries, ice cream, sandwiches, grab-and-go items, or a new creative café concept.
This is an **asset sale with lease transfer** — not a business sale — offering a rare opportunity for an aspiring owner or experienced operator to step into a professionally built-out café without the time, risk, or high cost of starting from scratch.
The space features abundant natural light from large glass windows throughout, ample seating, a spacious layout, private office, clean shared common-area restrooms, A/C, heater ventilation, and a large parking lot directly next to the café. A reliable small team of employees is already in place and capable of opening and closing, providing helpful continuity for a new operator.
**Unique Bonus Feature: The Secret Room**
Behind a bookshelf-style hidden door is a private bonus room of approximately 300 sq ft. This open, flexible space can be used for additional seating, private tastings, workshops, small events, popups, storage, content creation, or a special concept within the café. This unique feature helps set the space apart from typical café listings.
**Prime CID Location**
Located just a few blocks from T-Mobile Park and Lumen Field, the café benefits from proximity to Mariners, Seahawks, Sounders games, major concerts, and event-night foot traffic. In addition to event-driven surges, the area has a strong mix of neighborhood regulars, office workers, residents, tourists, and visitors exploring the CID.
The location is walkable, visible, and positioned in an area with limited sit-down coffee shop competition, making it a strong opportunity for the right operator.
