This thriving coffee shop in South Woodford, London, presents an exceptional business opportunity. Founded in 2018, it is part of a respected small chain and has become a beloved hub for the local community.
More than just a coffee shop, it hosts a variety of activities including jewellery making, foreign language classes, and counselling sessions, creating a warm, welcoming environment that draws people in.
The venue enjoys an excellent location on a pleasant suburban high street, just a short walk from the Central Line underground station, surrounded by independent shops and key local institutions such as the Post Office.
Open daily during daytime hours and fully licensed to serve alcohol, the business offers the potential for evening openings alongside its popular brunch, lunch, and high-quality coffee service in a professionally maintained and immaculate space.
Since opening, the shop has cultivated a loyal customer base from the local population of approximately 13,000. Locals, regulars, passers-by, and community group members all contribute to consistent profitability and a stellar reputation.
Supported by a flexible management structure and a manager willing to remain post-sale, the business offers high autonomy and a smooth transition. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a profitable, community-focused coffee shop with significant growth potential in a sought-after location.
A well-established coffee shop set in an attractive four-storey brick building, trading from the ground floor with no lease obligations on the upper floors.
The stylish, modern interior provides 23 covers, a rear counter, customer toilet, and a fully equipped kitchen with full extraction, 6-grid rational oven, 4-door commercial fridge, lean-to fridge space, and air conditioning.
The business also benefits from a private rear car park. A valuable feature is the outdoor ‘Parklet’ seating, which is council-owned but hosted, maintained, and kept clean by the business – a great asset without the cost.
The premises are licensed for alcohol and evening trade, and also suitable for community workshops or private hire. Security includes CCTV and steel shutters.
Run by a full-time manager and chef, supported by part-time staff, the business is fully equipped for a smooth transition to new ownership.
There is significant scope to further develop this business. Opportunities include expanding delivery services, increasing private events, and enhancing the offering of workshops, positioning the venue as a small business hub in the community.
Greater marketing efforts and additional staffing could increase turnover. Leveraging the excellent transport links and strong community reputation, there is room for geographical growth or partner collaborations within South Woodford.
The coffee shop’s unique independent identity and multi-functional space differentiate it from competitors, offering an attractive proposition to a buyer looking to capitalise on a stable and growing market segment.
The flexibility to extend opening hours to evenings, supported by the existing alcohol licence, also presents untapped potential for revenue growth.
