Established Breakfast and Lunch Cafe in Heart of Palm Desert
Business Description
This established breakfast and lunch restaurant presents a compelling acquisition opportunity in Palm Desert's prime retail corridor. Located strategically between Trader Joe's and Michaels, the business has demonstrated consistent profitability and operational stability over multiple years of continuous operation.
The restaurant specializes in breakfast and lunch service, operating from 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM daily. The establishment features signature pancake offerings and maintains high-margin menu items with favorable cost structures. The 2,400 square foot facility accommodates 90 indoor seats and 64 outdoor seats, representing the largest breakfast patio capacity in the Palm Desert market area.
Operational excellence is evidenced by the long-tenured staff and minimal employee turnover.

Equipment inventory includes three flat-top grills, commercial deep fryer, walk-in refrigeration unit, two stand-up refrigerators, stand-up freezer, multiple refrigerated preparation tables, and hot wells. Most equipment is less than five years old and has received regular preventive maintenance.
The restaurant serves both local clientele and tourist demographics, benefiting from Palm Desert's year-round visitor traffic. The business model capitalizes on high-traffic breakfast and lunch dayparts while maintaining manageable operating hours. Financial performance indicates immediate profitability potential, supported by established customer loyalty and proven operational systems.
