Modern Coffee & Tea Café with Strong Early Momentum
Business Description
Lucrative High Margin Turnkey Opportunity
This stylish, fast-growing coffee and tea café offers a rare chance to acquire a modern, social-media-friendly concept in a high-income suburban trade area. Opened in August 2024 and already producing meaningful sales volume, the business is positioned for a new owner to build on early traction through marketing, digital ordering, and expanded community partnerships.
Ideal Buyer Profile
This business is a strong fit if one or more of the following describes you:
1. First-time business owner – Seeking a modern, manageable café concept with simple operations, early cash flow, and room to grow through hands-on involvement.
2. Owner-operator – Looking to be active in the business to improve margins, extend hours, and accelerate growth through marketing and community engagement.
3. E-2 Treaty Investor (Visa Buyer) – An operating U.S. business with employees, physical location, and active management requirements suitable for an E-2 application, particularly for buyers willing to work in the café.
4. Brand-forward entrepreneur – Interested in acquiring a visually strong, social-media-friendly concept with potential for licensing or future multi-unit expansion once systems are standardized.
5. Family-operated buyer – Well-suited for a family-run structure where relatives can assist with daily operations to control labor costs and support growth.
Business Overview
This independent café was built with a highly scalable brand look and menu strategy, attracting teens, college students, young professionals, and families throughout the day and into the evening. The concept blends premium coffee and fresh-brew tea with health-forward food options, creating a strong repeat customer dynamic and a natural “hangout” appeal. With strong visuals, clean systems, and a modern buildout, this is a compelling platform for an operator who wants both cash flow and brand upside.
Key Financial Highlights
Annual Revenue: ~$235,000 (2025 projected)
Net Income / SDE: ~$39,000 (2025 projected)
Gross Margin: ~63%
Order Volume: ~1,300–1,700 orders per month (Avg. ticket ~$15–$19)
Operational Details
The café operates from an approximately 1,150 SF space with seating capacity up to 49 guests, located in a busy shopping plaza with strong parking and a safe environment that supports late-day traffic. The space includes a super-automatic espresso machine, high-capacity ice maker, Type II hood, multiple refrigerators, and freezer—supporting efficient service and menu consistency.
Staffing includes 1 full-time and 3 part-time employees, with the current owner semi-absentee and primarily assisting during peak evening periods. Many menu items are made fresh in-house, including tea brewed on-site, and coffee sourced from a local roaster—supporting quality and customer loyalty.
Reason for Sale
The owner is selling due to family health matters and is seeking a timely transition.
Growth Opportunities
- Launch branded online ordering (app/website), QR ordering, and/or self-order kiosk flow
- Expand catering and local partnerships with nearby schools, offices, and community groups
- Invest in structured marketing to accelerate repeat traffic and brand awareness
- Explore licensing or multi-unit growth once operations and branding are fully standardized
