Well Established Fully Fitted Dessert & Coffee Shop in Prime Town Centre Location alcohol licence

Established Dessert, Café & Dark Kitchen Business for Sale

Prime Town Centre Location | High Footfall | No Local Competition | Alcohol Licence

A superb opportunity to acquire a well-established and thriving dessert and café business, ideally positioned in a busy town centre location with excellent footfall.

Established in 2020 and acquired by the current owners in 2023, the business has since been fully transformed and rebranded in summer 2024. It has built a strong local reputation for quality desserts, food, and customer service, attracting both loyal repeat customers and strong passing trade.

The premises enjoy a highly prominent position directly overlooking a newly completed town square, which regularly hosts markets, events, and cultural activities. These events bring significant additional footfall, from which the business benefits greatly, particularly during the spring and summer months.

Premises & Fit-Out

The shop has been refurbished to a high standard and is fully equipped for immediate trade, with no expense spared. The premises offer approximately 30 covers for dine-in customers, along with additional outdoor seating to the front of the shop.

Business Concept & Recent Expansion

From May, the business expanded its offering to include breakfast and brunch, successfully developing a café-style concept. This addition has proven to be a major bonus, increasing customer numbers and strengthening daytime trade.

The business has also undergone a name change, while the original brand Indulge continues to operate successfully as a dark kitchen, providing an additional and established income stream. There is currently no direct competition in the immediate area, further strengthening the business’s position.

Alcohol Licence

The premises have been granted an alcohol licence effective from 16th December 2025, opening up excellent future opportunities for evening trade, dessert-and-drinks offerings, private events, and further revenue growth.

Trading Hours

• Monday: Closed
• Tuesday & Wednesday: 4:30pm – 10:00pm
• Thursday to Sunday: 10:00am – 10:00pm (food served all day)

There remains clear potential to extend trading hours or operate seven days a week, if desired.

Income Streams

The business generates income from:

• Strong town centre footfall
• Online delivery platforms including Just Eat and Uber Eats
• The business’s own website

Sales are generated through a combination of in-store dining and delivery. The Indulge brand operates as a 100% delivery-only dark kitchen, while the dessert and café (Dine & Dessert) operation benefits from strong in-store trade, particularly for food, with additional income from delivery platforms.

Financial Performance

The Indulge brand operates as a delivery-only dark kitchen, generating weekly takings of £3,000–£5,000 during peak periods, while the newer Dine & Dessert and café operation is in-store led, with delivery platforms gradually building traction.

Reason for Sale

The business is reluctantly offered for sale due to the owner’s increasing commitments with her cleaning business. 

A pool of trained part-time staff is in place and can be transferred with the business, if required.

Lease & Price

• Asking Price: £29950 (includes goodwill, fixtures, and fittings)
• Lease: 9-year lease with approximately 7 years remaining
• Rent: £9,000 per annum, payable monthly in advance
• The landlord may consider alternative uses, subject to the necessary consents

This is a turnkey opportunity ideal for a hands-on operator or investor seeking a proven business in a prime town centre location with no local competition and excellent growth potential.
