Business Description
This well-established café and bagel shop offers a simple, profitable, and highly repeatable business model. Known for its quality breakfast and lunch menu, strong community reputation, and prime downtown location near a major university, the business serves a loyal mix of students, professionals, and locals seeking fast, fresh meals and artisan coffee.

Operating seven days a week from 7 AM to 2 PM, this café thrives on consistent morning and midday traffic. The menu features hand-rolled bagels, breakfast sandwiches, coffee, espresso, smoothies, and other quick-service favorites — all produced with efficient prep-line systems designed for minimal waste and high output.

A capable and experienced team runs daily operations, including a full-time general manager, allowing ownership to operate in a semi-absentee capacity (approximately 20–25 hours per week).

This café represents an exceptional opportunity for a new owner-operator or family buyer seeking a well-run, community-loved business with immediate cash flow and flexible management options. With limited hours, loyal staff, and established profitability, it’s a true turnkey operation ready for continued success.
