Established Cafe with Serious Untapped Upside

This Auckland breakfast and brunch cafe has been a genuine local fixture for over a decade and the bones are excellent. Long lease, settled team, manageable owner hours, and a customer base that keeps coming back.

The 180sqm premises seats 120 across indoor and outdoor areas with a spacious kitchen, walk-in chiller, and dedicated delivery access. Nine staff are in place and the owner works 30-35 hours per week. Free parking and a family- and pet-friendly setup draw consistent repeat trade from a well-established residential catchment. The lease runs to 2043 with a clean cost base.

What makes this particularly interesting is the gap between what the business currently does and what it is licensed and equipped to do. A liquor licence active until 1:00am sits largely unused against a 2:30pm close. Evening service, corporate catering to the surrounding precinct, and outdoor shisha are all pursuits a new owner could explore without new consents or significant capital outlay.
• Lease secured to 2043 with clean cost base
• Nine staff in place, owner hours 30-35 per week
• 120-cover venue, indoor and outdoor seating
• Liquor licence to 1:00am, largely untapped
• Seven-day trading with consistent repeat custom
• Family and pet-friendly with ample free parking
• Multiple growth avenues, no new consents required
• EBPITDA - $478,401


A strong operator stepping into this will find a business already running well, with genuine upside still to unlock.
