Description
The acquisition includes the existing brand identity, proprietary menu, and institutional goodwill. The location boasts a distinguished 32-year history as a cornerstone of the local hospitality scene, characterized by low turnover and a loyal demographic of neighborhood regulars. This continuity ensures a stable revenue stream for the incoming owner from the very first day of operations.
The immediate surrounding area is undergoing significant densification, with several high-rise residential developments and a new hotel situated within a 5-minute walking radius. This growth places thousands of potential patrons within immediate proximity, supplementing the consistent influx of tourists seeking a premier sports viewing destination.
While the owner typically maintains assets for a four-to-five-year cycle, a personal health matter necessitates an early departure. This creates a rare opening for an investor to acquire a renovated asset prior to the high-volume summer season. With a favorable lease in place and a strategic location in one of the region’s most desirable coastal markets, this establishment is poised for continued growth and robust financial performance.
Facility specifications and amenities can be provided upon request.

This business has been a community staple for over three decades, widely recognized for its welcoming atmosphere, loyal customer base, and strong neighborhood presence. The business has built nearly 30 years of authentic brand equity without reliance on heavy advertising, successfully cultivating a "cult following" that spans generations.

This is a turnkey entry into the thriving coastal coffee market, supported by established systems and a seasoned team. Key Highlights: •Two Strategic Locations: Features two high-traffic sites: a flagship in a major regional shopping center and a second storefront in a bustling neighborhood corridor. •Approachable & High-Demand Menu: Features coffee, espresso, smoothies, breakfast items, and baked goods, with successfully integrated third-party delivery platforms. •Stable Infrastructure: Sale includes all specialized machinery, furniture, fixtures, and operational equipment valued at approximately $20,000. •Fixed Lease Stability: Prime anchor-center positioning with a fixed lease term at the flagship location secured through 2027.

Aptos, California
Turnkey 1,100 SF Café/Restaurant – Prime Aptos Location – New 2025 Build-Out
$ 270,000
Here’s a great opportunity to acquire a beautifully built-out café/restaurant in a high-traffic shopping center in Aptos, CA. This is a rare chance to step into a fully equipped, professionally designed food service space with all new equipment and recent 2025 remodel. The business is currently operated with a manager and employees, with the owner living out of the country. The space features approximately 1,100 square feet, excellent visibility, and ample parking in a well-established retail center. Lease is very reasonable at $3,600/month plus NNN, with a cooperative landlord. This is being sold primarily as an asset sale. The full kitchen is underutilized, making this an ideal opportunity for an experienced operator to introduce a new or expanded concept such as fast casual eatery, or light restaurant. Revenue was in an upward trend in 2025, but due to the Seller experiencing health-related issues, the sale of this business must occur. This is a true turnkey facility with FF&E included, minimal startup friction, and strong upside potential through concept repositioning, extended hours, and delivery/catering. Ideal for an owner-operator or small group seeking a plug-and-play restaurant space in a premier coastal market. Contact Carmel Business Sales today for more information.
