This recently refurbished coffee shop and deli is located in an affluent, community-oriented neighbourhood, where it has quickly become a thriving hub since opening in April 2024. With a loyal customer base that includes builders, commuters, remote workers, and emergency service staff, the business has also established itself as a welcoming venue for local events and meetings, benefitting from strong repeat trade and community engagement.
The shop features a fully fitted, restaurant-standard kitchen and a bright, Italian-inspired interior, enhanced by a significant refurbishment investment of approximately £40,000. This included new furniture, upgraded utilities, and modern equipment, offering a genuine turnkey opportunity for a new owner. The premises also benefit from a parklet space with council support for additional outdoor seating and the potential to obtain an alcohol licence, creating clear avenues for growth and diversification.
Marketing efforts, including Google Ads and an active social media presence, are driving steady customer growth, while the kitchen facilities provide the scope to expand both the menu and operating hours. Currently trading 6 days a week, with previous Sunday openings proving successful during its early months, the business serves hot meals, sandwiches, deli items, and evening dinners, positioning it strongly within its local market.
The sale includes essential fixtures and equipment, with some items under lease that may be transferred to the buyer, apart from the coffee machine which must be returned to the lessor. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-established, community-focused business in a high-potential area, offering immediate income and the capacity to expand further.
This coffee shop and deli operates from a modern unit with a large window frontage, seating around 20 customers and featuring a bar area with an external neon sign. The rectangular layout places the fully equipped restaurant-standard kitchen and toilets at the rear.
Offering freshly baked cakes, Italian sandwiches, hot food such as paninis and pasta, plus deli items, the business is supported by a loyal local customer base, daily Google Ads, and active social media.
The kitchen includes freezers, cookers, a pizza oven, and more, enabling diverse menu options.
Staff include 1 full-time and 1 part-time employee under a simple structure, with the owner managing ordering and advertising but scope exists to delegate for growth.
Additional opportunities include outside seating with council support for a parklet and potential for an alcohol licence.
There is substantial opportunity to grow the business through enhanced marketing efforts such as expanded leafleting, building a larger mailing list, and increasing presence on social media platforms.
Employing additional staff would enable the regular serving of hot food and extend evening dinner service availability, tapping into a broader market.
While the current location benefits from a loyal affluent community, expansion could also target nearby geographical areas like Archway.
The business leverages digital advertising effectively, currently spending around £10 daily on Google Ads, which drives significant traffic to its Instagram and Google Maps profiles.
With additional in-person community engagement like open nights and local events, the business could increase its visibility and reputation further.
