Established in June 2020, this much-loved independent coffee shop has become an integral part of the local community, building a loyal customer base and a strong reputation for quality and service, even during the challenges of the pandemic.
The café offers an extensive menu, including barista coffee, hot drinks, smoothies, frappes, milkshakes, iced teas, and matcha. Breakfast and lunch options range from bacon and sausage sandwiches to toasties, jackets, and salads, complemented by a tempting cake selection, 60% of which are gluten-free. Licensed premises are also used by three local clubs outside trading hours, reinforcing its role as a true community hub.
Newly refurbished to a high standard, the stylish green-and-orange interior features soundproofing, wooden flooring, and modern furnishings. Cosy yet functional, the space supports regular trade from local residents, businesses, and traders, who enjoy a 10% discount, boosting lunchtime sales. The café also offers local business catering.
This is a turnkey operation with full inventory included, excellent supplier relationships, and minimal but effective marketing, driven largely by word-of-mouth. The current owner is willing to remain for 3–6 months to ensure a smooth handover if required.
A rare opportunity to acquire a profitable, adaptable café with deep community roots in a sought-after High Street location.
Prominent High Street café in Crowthorne with pavement licence, large window, and single frontage. Bright, modern, and newly refurbished in green and orange to a high specification, with soundproofed walls, wooden flooring, and new tables and chairs.
The main shop floor offers comfortable seating, a patisserie display, till area, and a small gift shop corner. Stylish, sophisticated décor creates a welcoming atmosphere.
Open Mon–Sat, 8:30 am–3:30 pm, the business is run by the owner, assistant manager, and team leader, with 3 part-time, and 4 alternating Saturday staff on zero-hours contracts.
Established in 2020, it has demonstrated strong adaptability and built a loyal, inclusive customer base. Full inventory included.
There is significant potential to grow the business through enhanced marketing initiatives beyond the current minimal social media activities, potentially boosting customer acquisition and retention.
Staffing can be expanded as needed to extend operating hours or increase the capacity for catering services to local businesses, currently benefiting from a 10% discount for traders.
Geographical growth could be considered if suitable opportunities arise. Additionally, services can be expanded, including revisiting earlier experiments with later-night and wine bar evenings, which could enhance revenue streams and attract new customer segments.
The café’s excellent reputation, prime location, and loyal customer base position it well for a proactive new owner to build on established foundations and increase profitability.
