Listing Description:

Cafe space located in Berkeley's most vibrant and heavily trafficked commercial districts, just moments from the University of California, Berkeley campus. This prime location benefits from exceptional pedestrian activity, strong vehicle exposure, and a continuous flow of students, faculty, staff, local residents, professionals, and visitors throughout the day and evening.



Berkeley is widely recognized as one of the Bay Area's most dynamic and diverse communities, attracting a highly educated and engaged population. The immediate trade area is fueled by the presence of UC Berkeley, one of the nation's premier public universities with tens of thousands of students, faculty members, researchers, and visitors contributing to the area's year-round economic activity. The surrounding neighborhood is also home to a thriving mix of restaurants, cafés, retailers, cultural attractions, and residential communities, creating a strong customer base for food and beverage operators.



The space is ideally suited for a café, coffee concept, specialty beverage operation, ice cream shop, dessert concept, bakery, deli, sandwich shop, juice bar, or other food service business that does not require a Type I hood system. The existing layout allows a new operator to enter the market with minimal buildout costs and a faster path to opening. Buyers seeking to expand food offerings may explore the installation of a Type I hood system at their own expense, subject to landlord and city approvals.



Berkeley continues to be one of the East Bay's most desirable locations for independent operators and emerging brands due to its unique blend of academic influence, entrepreneurial culture, dense population, walkability, public transit access, and strong consumer demand for food and beverage concepts. Opportunities to secure a long-term lease in such close proximity to UC Berkeley are increasingly limited.
