Indiana Cafe for Sale with Real Estate Owner Earning $85,000
Business Description
Buy this profitable Cafe and Restaurant for Sale with the REAL ESTATE INCLUDED! Take advantage of verified sales of $561,116 and Owner Earnings of $85,786 while owning both the operating business and the approximately 2,970 square foot downtown Shelbyville property. No landlord, no lease negotiations, and no rent increases — own the building, control your location, and build equity while operating the business.
This established daytime concept operates just Monday through Saturday from 8 AM to 2 PM, offering an attractive schedule while producing more than $561,000 in annual sales. The Cafe and Restaurant for Sale has built a strong local following around breakfast, lunch, baked goods, soups, sandwiches, salads, and homemade specialties. Catering, private parties, luncheons, and carryout provide additional revenue streams beyond traditional dine in service.
The real estate is included in the purchase price, giving a buyer the opportunity to acquire both a profitable operating restaurant and the underlying property in one transaction. The approximately 2,970 square foot building is located in downtown Shelbyville and features indoor dining, kitchen and bar areas, second floor storage, and outdoor patio seating. Property ownership of this Restaurant for Sale provides long term control of this established location while allowing the buyer to build equity in a tangible real estate asset.
The Restaurant for Sale offers seating for approximately 48 guests inside plus patio capacity for up to 70, providing significant seating without requiring a larger footprint. The broad menu appeals to breakfast and lunch customers throughout the week with breakfast favorites, sandwiches, salads, soups, daily specials, lighter fare, desserts, and house made baked goods. The concept is also known for its homemade cinnamon rolls and rotating lunch specials.
A full liquor license provides additional growth potential for a new owner interested in adding happy hour, private events, evening service, or additional dayparts. The kitchen is well equipped to support dine in service, catering, carryout, and private functions. With the restaurant currently closing at 2 PM and remaining closed on Sundays, there is meaningful opportunity to grow sales by utilizing the existing restaurant and real estate for additional hours and revenue streams.
A team of 12 employees is currently in place, helping provide continuity for a new owner. Established systems, recipes, vendors, and documented processes support the transition, with seller training negotiable.
Qualified buyers may be able to take advantage of SBA financing with approximately 15 percent down, subject to lender approval and buyer qualifications. This creates a compelling opportunity to acquire both an established, profitable restaurant and the real estate it occupies, while preserving working capital and eliminating the uncertainty that comes with leasing your restaurant location.
Real Estate is being advertised on behalf of a licensed Indiana Real Estate Salesperson.

- Market Outlook / Competition
- A recognizable downtown location, established local traffic, and a community-oriented customer base that can support a well-run breakfast and lunch concept. The property also benefits from real estate ownership potential and relatively limited operating hours, which create room for growth.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Growth opportunities include expanding beyond the current breakfast and lunch schedule into evening service, happy hour, private events, and additional weekend hours. The full liquor license, patio seating, catering capability, and established kitchen provide flexibility to add new revenue streams without a major buildout. A new owner could also grow delivery, special-event catering, local partnerships, and targeted marketing to increase sales from the existing footprint.
