$175K Down | $220K Seller Financing Available

This is a well-established specialty bakery in San Diego with strong brand recognition and a loyal base of repeat customers. It runs profitably on a limited schedule with a small team, which means it is already producing solid earnings while operating well below its real capacity. Demand consistently outpaces what the current setup can make each week. SDE has grown from $93K in 2023 to $129K in 2025, with revenue up 25% year over year. For a buyer, that combination is rare: real income on day one, and a clear, practical path to more.

Top Reasons to Acquire

— $175K Down, $220K Seller Financing -- lower upfront investment with a seller who stays aligned through the transition.
— Immediate Cash Flow -- $129K SDE on $500K revenue in 2025, so you step in earning from day one.
— 25% Revenue Growth -- a consistent upward trend, not a one-year spike.
— Demand Exceeds Supply -- product sells out when available; the ceiling is production, not customers.
— Recognized Local Brand -- a deep San Diego following built on repeat business and word of mouth.
— Simple Operations -- a focused menu, developed recipes, and proven processes make this straightforward to run.
— Clear Growth Levers -- more baking days and a bit of added help convert directly into more product and more revenue.

The next owner walks into a business with momentum: established recipes, a proven product, and a customer base that already shows up. Operations are simple enough to learn quickly and structured enough to build on. This is a bakery people know and come back to, not a concept that still has to prove itself.

Key Highlights

— Built-In Weekday Expansion: The kitchen currently produces around 100 mini cakes per week on weekends, and they sell out. Opening weekday production supports 500+ units weekly using the same recipes and space.
— Underutilized Product Line: 8-inch cakes move quickly whenever they are stocked and can be made available throughout the week rather than in limited weekend runs.
— New Revenue Channels: Event cakes, catering, and wholesale are natural extensions of the existing product line and remain largely untapped.
— Capacity, Not Demand, Is the Constraint: The limiting factor is time in the kitchen and staffing, both of which a buyer can add immediately.
— Small, Hands-On Team: A lean operation with consistent, high-quality output and clear room to add structured staffing and scheduling.

Ideal Buyer

Someone who wants to run a kitchen or bake without the risk of starting from scratch, is ready to expand hours and bring in a little help, and values consistency, quality, and building on a brand locals already love.
