Business Description

A well-established, neighborhood anchor bagel café in Queens County is now available after 23 years of continuous operation. The current owner purchased the business 13 years ago through East Coast Business Brokers and is now ready to pass the operation on to a new owner.

Located on a high-visibility block in a rapidly growing neighborhood with increasing residential development, the business benefits from strong morning commuter traffic, a dense daytime population, and steady weekend activity.

The café offers a broad, profitable menu beyond traditional bagels, including breakfast sandwiches, deli salads, burgers, hot and cold sandwiches, spreads and smoked fish, coffee and espresso drinks, and desserts. Online ordering and delivery platforms are already in place, helping expand ticket volume and capture additional daypart revenue.
