Immaculate Coffee Shop and Sandwiches in Prime East London Location – High Footfall & Exceptional Growth Potential (Ref: CS0782)
£80,000
An outstanding opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented, fully operational coffee shop situated in a prime East London location, benefiting from exceptional visibility and constant footfall. This well-established business has been successfully trading for over 5 years and is offered for sale only due to family commitments.
The premises are in immaculate, turnkey condition, allowing any incoming operator to begin trading immediately without any additional investment.
Unbeatable Location:
Positioned just moments from a busy bus stop and approximately 2 minutes’ walk from a nearby train station, the shop enjoys a steady stream of commuters and passing trade throughout the day. Its prominent frontage and easy accessibility make it a standout unit within the area.
With approximately 150 new residential units planned nearby, this location is set to benefit from a significant increase in footfall, further enhancing long-term growth prospects.
Business Highlights:
The café has built a strong local reputation, serving high-quality coffee, sandwiches, and toasties in a warm and welcoming environment, supported by a loyal customer base. Currently operating from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, there is clear and immediate scope to extend trading hours and maximise revenue.
Key Financials:
Rent: £13,200 per annum
Business Rates: £4,500 per annum
Turnover: £3,500 per week
Huge Potential to Grow & Diversify:
The premises benefit from a licence allowing extended hours, offering an excellent opportunity to introduce breakfast and evening trade. A particularly attractive feature is the large rear garden (approx. 500 sq. ft), which provides scope for:
Additional seating covers
Outdoor dining concept
Potential shisha lounge (subject to necessary permissions)
In addition, the area currently has limited competition for both coffee shops and restaurants, presenting a strong opportunity for an incoming operator to diversify the offering. The unit could easily be adapted to introduce:
An Indian restaurant or takeaway concept
Street food or fusion dining
Dessert lounge or evening café concept
This flexibility makes it ideal for someone looking to capitalise on an underserved local market and significantly increase turnover.
Current internal seating accommodates approximately 30–40 covers, with further room to expand.
