Coffee shop in the heart of Exmouth for sale

We are excited to announce that a new owner will take over our café at the beginning of October. Our café is the only establishment in the area serving ice cream, making it particularly popular during the summer months. With a dedicated and loyal customer base, we are consistently attracting new visitors drawn in by our delicious coffee. There is significant potential for growth by expanding our dessert menu to include options such as crepes and waffles, as we already have the necessary equipment on-site.

In terms of location, we have the advantage of being a mere five-minute walk from the train station and a car park, ensuring easy access for customers. Additionally, an indoor market is adjacent to our café, and the beach is just a ten-minute stroll away, positioning us in a prime spot on the strand.

Having owned this business for four years, I have observed several other coffee shops in the vicinity, yet none offer the same extensive dessert menu or ice cream options. Most nearby cafés cater exclusively to vegan or deli customers, differentiating us from the competition.

As we consider the sale of the business, the primary reason is the demands of family life. With a newborn at home, managing the café has become increasingly challenging. Currently, we employ two staff members, ensuring operational support while also maintaining hands-on involvement.

Included Features and Opportunities

The sale includes valuable fixtures and fittings, such as a newly installed customer toilet. Our café boasts established trading hours and is fully equipped and operational, making it ready for a new owner to step in seamlessly. With a well-fitted workspace and shop, the café is stocked and equipped, reflecting a strong weekly sales performance.

There's immense opportunity for new ownership to grow the business further, capitalising on both the local market and the existing customer flow. Our offerings include handcrafted milkshakes, cakes, and ice cream sundaes, appealing to a wide range of dessert lovers.

The café’s inviting atmosphere creates an enjoyable experience for customers, leading to a high volume of walk-ins. A solid net profit potential combined with a high turnover business model ensures financial opportunities for prospective owners. We are committed to providing full training to the new owners, covering all supplier relationships and operational processes, ensuring a smooth transition.

This is not simply a business sale; it’s an immediate opportunity for anyone looking to enter the café industry, particularly suited for first-time owners or those seeking to manage their own business. With our established customer loyalty, immediate income potential, and supportive owner involvement during the handover, this café represents a compelling investment.
