Boba tea, coffee shop, lite café in downtown Tacoma. Open floor plan with almost 2000 square footage. This is clean and everything like new. Very inviting and loads of possibilities.

Right now, the café is running as a light coffee shop and boba tea spot — but since this isn’t a franchise, there are zero limits on where you can take this. Want to overhaul the menu? Go for it. Want to add new drinks, comfort foods, fried snacks, or your own signature creations? Easy. There’s already a grease trap installed, and the previous operator even ran a fried chicken restaurant here for years, so expanding the menu is wide open.

Step outside and you’re in the middle of Downtown Tacoma’s buzz. Offices, retail businesses, local foot traffic, and even a high school just steps away keep this area humming from morning to night. And on weekends? Free street parking makes it even easier for customers to swing by for their coffee or boba fix.

Inside, you’ve got a solid prep kitchen, storage space, and security cameras keeping things smooth. Three part-time employees are holding things down under an absentee owner, but this is where the opportunity really explodes: an owner-operator stepping in can cut labor costs, boost service, and grow profits immediately.

And talk about upside — this shop opens at 9 AM, which means the early morning coffee rush is still untouched. Open an hour or two earlier, and you tap into a whole new stream of customers. Add waffles, crepes, soups, sandwiches, weekend specials, or live entertainment… karaoke nights, local music, open mic — this place has the space and the vibe for it all.

If you are looking for a café business to call your own, here’s a lite café that can do it all and then some. Give us a call to check and see this one.
