Description
The shop operates on a simple, proven model: premium ingredients sourced exclusively through dedicated third-party suppliers, delivered fresh three times per week, served in a modern high-end buildout with strong local foot traffic. With over $200,000 invested in leasehold improvements and equipment, all in near-mint condition, the business is fully turnkey and ready for a new owner from day one.
A new owner can step into immediate cash flow and choose to maintain the current semi-absentee model or take a more active role to meaningfully accelerate growth. The current menu is intentionally simple, leaving significant untapped revenue potential through expanding product and service offerings.
Key Investment Highlights:
- Semi-absentee operation with owner currently working less than 5 hours per week
- 68.8% gross profit margins with a lean, predictable cost structure
- Limited local competition with a strong, defensible market position
- Recent buildout and FF&E, all in near-mint condition
- Secure lease with 5-year initial term and 5-year renewal option
- Untapped growth through catering, expanded menu, and events
Ideal Buyer:
- A lifestyle buyer looking to own a fun, feel-good business in a prime Southern California setting that generates strong income without demanding their time or tying them to a desk
- Someone who wants the pride of ownership in a premium, community-loved concept while maintaining full flexibility in their schedule
- An individual or couple seeking a profitable semi-absentee investment that can be as hands-off or hands-on as they choose
- Owner-operators who want to be present in the business and leverage their energy to actively grow revenue beyond what current operations reflect

$ 825,000
CF : $ 256,078
This well-established Santa Monica area daytime cafe has become a neighborhood institution. The tidy venue, which epitomizes the essence of the beachside lifestyle, manages to produce remarkable revenues and earnings given their abbreviated operating hours. The venue provides its dedicated customer base selection of morning and daytime favorites, including sandwiches, burritos, wraps, salads, specialty coffees and more. Despite the competitive environment, the business benefits from an established local customer base that has embraced the proven concept. As a result, they are somewhat insulated from immediate existing neighborhood competition or threats from new industry entrants as their community presence, authenticity, and local vibe embody what attracted their patrons to the coveted area in the first place ! This cafe has several opportunities for growth that new management may explore. To begin, the venue operates an abbreviated daytime and early afternoon schedule. Due to its largely local client base, new management can extend operations into the early evening with an expanded dinner-oriented menu offering.

They may also potentially increase revenues through enhanced digital marketing, social media engagement, delivery and online ordering, catering, and more.
