This lovely Coffee Shop is an icon in the area in the Western suburbs of Johannesburg, having been operating for the past 38 years from the same premises. It is well located on a corner site, and therefore easily visible to all the passing trade. Having said that, the business has built up a large following of regulars that that are still visiting the shop frequently. The present owner has had the shop for the past six years. The shop does all their own baking which includes all the Breads, Rolls, Pastries, Biscuits and Cakes. Aside from this, they have a wide selection of quality dishes on their many, starting with Breakfasts, scrumptious Pastas, Burgers, Toasted Sandwiches, Tramezzini, Baguettes and Salads, all served with their usual high standard of service from their well trained Staff. They also do Catering Platters and will bake Novelty or any Cakes requested by their customers to take away, or to use for a party in the shop. The store is fully licensed and perfect for functions, however they don't concentrate on advertising a lot for functions and Catering Platters, but just take what they get. The business has its own Website, Instagram and Facebook sites and is also involved in WhatsApp Groups from the area. It is important to note that there are many Guest Houses nearby, and so there is a captive market of tourists to concentrate on as well. Their best days are Saturdays and Sundays when a lot of the time the shop is completely full.
This business is a great opportunity for an experienced operator to continue the tradition, yet at the same time add new modern dishes to the menu and cash in on the opportunity to do more functions, for which the shop is perfect for. A lovely buy for a 'hands-on' operator.
