Turnkey Bakery & Café – Multiple Revenue Streams, Growing
Business Description
Rare opportunity to acquire a highly profitable, long-standing European bakery and café with multiple revenue streams and a deeply loyal customer base. This is a proven, cash-flowing operation with significant untapped growth potential.
Established in 1991, this renowned bakery and café has built a dominant reputation as the go-to destination for authentic German baked goods and cuisine in a major Northern California market. The business operates a successful dual model—high-margin wholesale production alongside a bustling retail café—making it a staple within both the local community and regional cultural events.
Key Financial Highlights
- Annual Revenue: $1.74M+ (4.8% YoY Growth)
- Seller’s Discretionary Earnings: $303K (17.4% Margin)
- Gross Profit Margins Stabilized at 26%+ in 2024–2025
This business has demonstrated strong financial momentum, with SDE increasing 54.7% from 2023 to 2025 and consistent top-line growth backed by documented, SBA-compliant add-backs.
Operational Overview
The operation is highly systemized, featuring an experienced team of 20 employees, including long-tenured bakers and a dedicated operations manager who oversees day-to-day activities. The owners primarily focus on production, while the café runs efficiently under established staff, making this a scalable and transferable business. With structured workflows, established supplier relationships, and minimal reliance on marketing, the business runs smoothly with strong organic demand.
Reason for Sale
The owner is retiring after more than 30 years of successful operation and is seeking the right buyer to continue the legacy.
Growth Opportunities
- Expand wholesale distribution (currently underutilized capacity)
- Increase café hours and introduce additional locations
- Implement marketing strategies and online ordering for wholesale clients
Ideal Buyer Profile
This business is ideal for an entrepreneur or operator seeking a profitable, multi-channel food business with strong brand equity and expansion potential. It’s especially attractive for buyers looking to step into a well-established operation with immediate cash flow and long-term upside.
