CoGoGo welcomes Victoria Sponge, a vibrant, independent cafe located in Dundee, offering a ready-made opportunity to acquire a stylish and well-loved business with a strong local following.
Established approximately 1.5 years ago and acquired by the current owner in September, the cafe has quickly built a reputation for quality, warmth, and personality. The business is being brought to market due to the owner’s health, creating an excellent chance for a new operator to step into a proven concept with momentum already behind it.
Victoria Sponge is a contemporary cafe serving customers exclusively on a sit-in basis, with no deliveries, allowing the business to focus on customer experience and in-house service quality.
The cafe comfortably seats around 30 covers, creating a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere that encourages repeat visits. There remains clear scope to develop the offering further, whether through menu expansion, themed events, or extended trading hours, subject to the new owner’s vision.
Victoria Sponge represents a fun, modern, and exciting cafe opportunity ideal for a hands-on owner or lifestyle buyer looking for a business with character, community presence, and room to grow.
Location
Situated in Dundee, Victoria Sponge benefits from an accessible and community-focused setting, attracting a mix of local residents and repeat customers. The cafe enjoys strong visibility and an established presence both in person and online, with active engagement across Google, Facebook, and Instagram platforms. Its modern branding and approachable feel make it a natural draw for coffee lovers and casual diners alike.
Premises
The premises are well presented and laid out to suit the cafe’s current trading style, with customer seating, service areas, and back-of-house facilities in place. Fixtures, fittings, and equipment are included in the sale, with assets we are advised are in the region of £20,000, enabling a new owner to commence trading immediately.
Tenure
We are advised that the business is held on a leasehold basis with approximately three years remaining. The current rent is £550 per calendar month, which is considered very competitive for a business of this type and location.
Hours
The current operating hours are:
Monday - Tuesday- Closed
Wednesday - Sunday - 10:00 am to 3:00 pm
Staff
The cafe is currently supported by four staff members, allowing for smooth daily operations and flexibility for an owner-operator or hands-off investor. Staffing levels are considered appropriate for the size and style of the business.
Financial Profile
We are advised that Victoria Sponge generates a turnover in the region of £72,000 per annum. The business operates with zero business rates, competitive rent, and a straightforward café model with no delivery services, helping to keep overheads tightly controlled.
