Established in 2017, this retail and cafe concept has evolved into a premier lifestyle destination in Houston's Heights neighborhood, combining retail, café operations, and experiential offerings within its 4,000 sq. ft. flagship location. This well-known brand, featured in Condé Nast and United Airlines publications, operates through three complementary revenue streams: a curated retail operation achieving 57% gross margins; a turnkey, third-party-managed coffee operation, delivering 69.2% gross margins; and a candle experience, which generates consistent monthly revenue.

The business maintains strong operational efficiency while requiring only 5–10 hours per week of owner involvement, enabled by documented systems and strategic partnerships. Recent café expansion has already demonstrated immediate results with a 10%–15% increase in sales, supported by a strong digital presence of over 28,000 monthly pageviews across platforms. With 87% of retail revenue currently from the storefront, the remaining 13% of online sales represent a substantial opportunity for ecommerce expansion. Additional growth vectors include private-label development, implementing paid marketing strategies (untapped), and delivery service partnerships.

The infrastructure supports immediate scalability, with a lease secured through 2030, relationships with over 200 vendors, and comprehensive systems documentation. The location features a 1,000 sq. ft. patio and 12 assigned parking spaces, enhancing the customer experience in the Heights area. The experienced team includes a manager, two team leads, and trained staff, while café operations are professionally managed by a third party.

The owners are selling to pursue new opportunities and offer a 90-day transition period with complete training materials, ensuring a smooth transition for this profitable, community-focused business.
