Premium Artisan Bakery And Restaurant For Sale

Yzerfontein, Western Cape, South Africa
Asking Price:
R15,626,000 Furniture / Fixtures and Inventory / Stock included
Sales Revenue:
R8M - R15M
Cash Flow:
On request

A rare chance to own one of the West Coast's most loved artisan bakeries and restaurants, in a sought-after coastal town less than an hour from Cape Town. Established around 10 years ago, this business has built a reputation that money can't buy. Handcrafted, slow-fermentation breads and pastries, a relaxed sit-down restaurant, backed by a full liquor license.

Driven almost entirely by organic word-of-mouth, hundreds of glowing reviews, and zero paid advertising. A capable team keeps the business running smoothly.

Best of all, the upside is largely untapped. Extended trading hours, evening service, branch expansion, and wholesale supply to local restaurants all sit ready for the right buyer. Add a fast-growing town with rising property values and new development on the way, and this is both a smart investment and an enviable coastal lifestyle.

Property Information

Real Estate:

Lease

Lease Terms:

Lease runs until 30 September 2028 with a 7% annual escalation. No formal renewal option is yet negotiated, but the landlord is a supportive regular patron, giving good prospects for a favourable extension. A copy of the lease is available.

Location:

Prime position in Yzerfontein, a sought-after coastal town on the West Coast, under an hour from Cape Town. The town is a fast-growing lifestyle and tourist destination with rising property values and a growing permanent population, supporting strong year-round trade.

Premises Details:

Well-utilised premises of approximately 220m², housing both the bakery production facility and the front-of-house retail and restaurant area. Traded from this location for around 8 years. Current lease runs to 30 September 2028.

Business Operation

Management type:
This business is owner operated.
Expansion Potential:

Strong untapped upside. The liquor licence already allows seven-day and later evening trading, offering immediate scope to extend hours. Further opportunities include branch expansion to nearby areas, wholesale supply to local restaurants and cafés, and adding a formal website and digital presence.

Competition / Market:

Limited direct competition of comparable quality in the immediate area. The business is well differentiated by its premium artisan positioning, established reputation, loyal customer base, and a distinctive brand and atmosphere that is difficult to replicate.

Reasons for selling:

After around a decade of building the business, the owner is seeking the right strategic partner to take it into its next phase of growth. This is a proactive decision to unlock significant untapped potential rather than a response to any strain on the business.

Trading hours:

Currently Wednesday to Saturday 08:00 to 15:30, and Sunday 08:00 to 14:00. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays. The liquor licence permits seven-day trading and later evening hours, offering scope to extend.

Employees:
13
Years established:
Approximately 10 years, around 8 of which have been at the current premises.

Other Information

Support & training:

The owner is committed to a thorough and meaningful handover to preserve the standards, character, and relationships of the business. A capable, experienced team of section heads is in place across all functions, ensuring continuity and a smooth transition for the new owner.
