Rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully built café in Downtown Hartf
Business Description
Located within The Pennant at North Crossing, one of Downtown Hartford's most recognizable mixed-use developments, Dono Café presents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully built café in a rapidly evolving urban corridor.
Positioned just steps from Dunkin' Park, home of the Hartford Yard Goats, the business benefits from a unique blend of residential, office, entertainment, and event-driven traffic. The surrounding area continues to attract new investment, residents, and visitors, creating an environment well-suited for a variety of food and beverage concepts.
The approximately 1,690-square-foot space features a modern, turnkey buildout with floor-to-ceiling windows, inviting seating areas, and an atmosphere designed to serve professionals, residents, students, event attendees, and visitors alike.
While currently operating as a café, the opportunity extends beyond traditional coffee service. A new owner may explore expanded breakfast and lunch offerings, grab-and-go concepts, catering services, private events, evening programming, specialty beverages, or other complementary food service operations.
A long-term lease is in place through 2029, providing stability and allowing a buyer to focus on growth and operations rather than relocation concerns.
Whether you're an experienced operator seeking an additional location or an entrepreneur looking for a highly visible turnkey opportunity, Dono Café offers an attractive entry point into one of Hartford's most active commercial districts.
