Turnkey Hospitality Café & Bar | Transferable Liquor License
This is the one buyers wait for.
Fully built-out, modernized hospitality concept in one of Baltimore's most sought-after waterfront neighborhoods — ready to operate from day one. Approximately 3278 sq ft of beautifully designed space featuring indoor seating capacity of 80, outdoor seating for 16 guests, and a brand-new cocktail bar operating under an active, transferable liquor license.
Five diversified revenue streams already in motion: specialty coffee, in-house roasting, food service, floral and event programming, cocktail/bar operations, and wholesale roasting. The infrastructure is built. The staff is in place. The liquor license transfers with the sale. An entertainment license is in process — meaning live events and expanded evening programming are right around the corner.
The hard work is done. The next owner walks into a fully operational, modernized hospitality platform with real upside still on the table.

2 managers - Market Outlook / Competition
- This Cafe has no direct competition and operates in a market with strong and growing demand for authentic, experience-driven hospitality concepts. Its competitive advantages include:
• Highly differentiated concept — Ethiopian coffee heritage combined with bar, floral, and event programming creates a distinct and defensible market position in Fells Point
• Five active revenue streams — reduces dependence on any single channel and provides multiple paths to revenue growth under new ownership
• Active liquor license in place — a high-barrier asset enabling cocktail service, evening programming, and event monetization
• Established brand, community relationships, and customer loyalty built since 2023
• Fully built operational infrastructure — roasting equipment, bar buildout, floral operation, and event-capable space all invested and running
• Entertainment license in process — expected within approximately 30 days; will unlock live music, activations, and expanded evening programming - Opportunities for Growth
- A new owner could accelerate growth through:
• Live entertainment and speakeasy programming — entertainment license pending; immediately actionable upon approval
• Private events and space rental — layout, liquor license, and floral capability position the venue as a premium private event destination
• Wholesale coffee expansion — roasting infrastructure supports significant additional wholesale volume beyond the current 2 accounts
• Wedding and event florals — naturally bundled with venue and coffee brand; actively growing
• Government, corporate, and institutional catering — an untapped channel the current owners have not pursued
• Increased marketing and digital presence — limited paid marketing to date; brand visibility represents an accessible near-term growth lever
• Potential expansion to additional locations — proven concept and brand infrastructure
