Share on Reddit Business Description
Toastique Chino Hills is a fully equipped gourmet fast-casual franchised café in the heart of Chino Hills' City Center, the civic and retail core of one of Southern California's most affluent suburban markets. The café opened in August 2025 following a documented $499,611 professional build-out and $187,704 in new furniture, fixtures, and equipment, so everything a buyer takes over is less than a year old. Toastique is one of the fastest-growing healthy fast-casual franchise brands in the country, serving gourmet toast, smoothies, açaí bowls, cold-pressed juice, and handcrafted espresso made with fresh, responsibly sourced ingredients. The kitchen runs with no hoods, no fryers, and no ovens, which keeps shifts at three to five team members and makes the operation straightforward for a first-time or multi-unit owner. The buyer steps into a trained team of eight, a 4.6-star Google rating, a full espresso bar, and revenue already flowing through dine-in, takeout, catering on ezCater, direct website orders, and delivery on DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, and Postmates. Toastique is listed on the SBA Franchise Directory, so SBA lenders can underwrite the brand for qualified buyers. At $545,000, the business is priced roughly $140,000 below the documented cost to build and equip it, and a new owner skips the 12 to 18 months of site selection, permitting, construction, hiring, and training that a new build requires.

- Facilities & Assets
- The café occupies 1,377 square feet in a premium City Center suite, steps from the Chino Hills Civic Center, City Hall, and the public library, and beside The Shoppes at Chino Hills, the open-air lifestyle center anchored by Trader Joe's, Barnes & Noble, and Sephora. The space was professionally built out in 2025 for $499,611 and fitted with $187,704 in new FF&E, all included in the asking price and fully depreciable for a new owner. Assets include a Goodnature cold-press juicer, a complete Lineage coffee and espresso station, a refrigerated grab-and-go merchandiser, a full Bargreen kitchen package, POS and digital ordering systems, and a new HVAC unit installed after opening. Rent is $5,623 base plus roughly $2,067 in NNN charges, about $7,689 per month all in, on a ten-year lease with two five-year renewal options remaining. Roughly $12,000 in inventory is sold separately at cost at close.

- Market Outlook / Competition
- Chino Hills is one of the strongest trade areas in the Inland Empire, with average household income above $132,000 citywide and more than 98,000 people within three miles earning over $147,000. The city sits where San Bernardino, Los Angeles, and Orange counties meet, drawing daily traffic from Diamond Bar, Yorba Linda, Brea, and Ontario. The café operates in the healthy fast-casual daypart, one of the fastest growing segments in US food service, competing with traditional coffee chains and local juice bars. Toastique differentiates on a breadth no nearby competitor matches: gourmet toast, cold-pressed juice made in house, açaí bowls, and a full espresso program under one roof. The City Center location places the café beside government offices, the Civic Center campus, and the retail pull of The Shoppes, producing reliable weekday professional traffic and strong weekend family traffic across breakfast, lunch, and afternoon dayparts.
- Opportunities for Growth
- The café is ten months old and still early in its ramp, so the biggest revenue levers remain largely untouched. Catering is fully equipped with a published menu, live ezCater and direct website ordering, and clear demand from surrounding corporate offices, medical buildings, and schools, yet the channel is barely developed. Delivery runs on four platforms with room to grow through promotions and menu optimisation. The afternoon daypart, cold-pressed juice cleanse programs, and the Toastique rewards app all add incremental sales on the existing cost base, and Chino Hills' family-oriented demographics support local partnerships with gyms, youth sports clubs, and schools. A hands-on owner-operator also has room to tighten labor scheduling and COGS as volume builds. The location benefits from Toastique's national brand fund and system-wide marketing campaigns.

About the Sale
- Seller Motivation
- Owners are selling for family reasons unrelated to the business's performance.
- Transition Support
- The buyer completes Toastique's comprehensive training program at headquarters in Washington, DC, covering operations, food preparation, technology and POS systems, labor management, and local marketing. Corporate support staff are then on-site at the Chino Hills location for two full weeks to train alongside the existing team, support the transition, and keep operations running without interruption. The buyer inherits a trained staff of eight, including two full-time team members, so the café keeps serving customers through the changeover. Ongoing support includes direct access to Toastique's operations team, the approved supplier network, national brand fund campaigns, the Toastique rewards app, and corporate marketing resources. The sale is subject to franchisor approval and standard transfer requirements.
