This thriving licensed, daytime deli/café with its brazen display of gourmet treats, simply beckons passers-by to stop for drinks, coffee and a bite to eat. Opening for breakfast, lunch and both morning and afternoon tea, this well-known eatery serves modern, café-style meals. Perfectly positioned in the main street of a tourist destination on the Sunshine Coast, this inviting café offers patrons a prime view overlooking the leafy green sidewalk of this bustling street. This business delivers on every count—consistently strong turnover that continues to grow year after year, outstanding returns for owner/operators, prime positioning in a major tourist hotspot, quality staff, street appeal, sustainable growth opportunities... For those of you looking for a sure thing, it doesn't get much better than this.

This business benefits from its central location in a distinctly charming seaside suburb of the Sunshine Coast—a region with one of the fastest growing populations in Australia, a strong economy and a higher-than-average quality of life. A favourite with locals and tourists, this business is located amongst a myriad of shops, up-market coastal resorts, and popular Sunday street markets—a stone's throw from the many beaches in the area.

The café has an inviting street appeal, with footpath seating and an absolutely open front façade that lends an alfresco feel, encouraging passers-by to come in and explore the food choices on display. A very popular brunch spot, this café offers a relaxed dining experience with fresh food prepared daily by in-house chefs, a selection of beers, spirits and wine, and coffee roasted onsite. The easily-prepared menu covers all bases—from traditional breakfast fare to lunchtime gourmet sandwiches and burgers, salads, panini, pizza, pasta, seasonal fish, even a kids menu! An array of tempting cakes on display attracts patrons for morning and afternoon tea, as does the freshly-brewed coffee—this business moves 25 kilos of coffee each week throughout summer, burgeoning to 40-45 kilos each week throughout winter!

The extensive inventory of plant and equipment includes a coffee roaster and coffee hopper display for the coffee enthusiast to promote. The kitchen is large with multiple preparation areas and a walk-in coolroom. Well laid-out, this kitchen presents numerous catering opportunities to be run in-line with the café's current operation. The café seats around 70 people, and a long lease with reasonable rent makes this business even more secure.

Highly systemised, with a spacious, functional layout and efficient ordering and point of sale systems, this business is able to sustain its remarkable growth and deliver prompt service to its customers—a key factor in its success.

Ideally suited to a husband and wife team with a food background and great customer service skills, this is an opportunity not to be missed. For energetic operators, further growth opportunities are there for the taking—take full advantage of the commercial-style kitchen with an events catering service, by offering take-home meals, or a line of home-made preserves; capitalise on the café's status as a licensed venue by extending opening hours into the night, capturing the dinner trade from locals, beach-goers, resort-dwellers!

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. This rock-solid business has a track record of a 10%+ increase in turnover on a yearly basis in recent years and with a 30% return on investment (if owners’ wages were replaced by additional staff), would make any accountant smile. With all the key ingredients in place and future growth opportunities this business looks set to become a million-dollar baby within a very short time—enquire now for a slice of the pie!
