Business Description
Turnkey Santa Monica European Café - Fully Equipped

A charming European-style café located on a prime location in Santa Monica. The business features a fully built-out coffee bar, granite service counter, espresso preparation area, commercial refrigeration, refrigerated display case, prep and wash area, dedicated storage room, customer seating, custom communal seating table, HVAC, and attractive café décor. The business operates from a leased retail location with one reserved parking space and lease term extending through October 15, 2028. The café is being offered as a turnkey opportunity with FF&E, leasehold improvements, and existing infrastructure in place.
FF&E includes commercial coffee equipment, refrigeration, display cases, prep equipment, seating, furniture, service counters, storage fixtures, and related café assets. Tax records show approximately $72,000 of investment in equipment and leasehold improvements over time.
The current owner operates the business personally, providing an opportunity for an owner-operator to continue the existing concept or adapt the location to a new café, coffee, tea, dessert, or similar food-service concept, subject to landlord approval and lease requirements. The space benefits from a relatively low occupancy cost for Santa Monica and a complete operating setup that would be costly and time-consuming to recreate from the ground up.
