An extraordinary opportunity to acquire a beloved, turnkey niche Cafe for Sale with a devoted following and strong growth potential. This well-established specialty restaurant has built a stellar reputation across New England and beyond for its authentic English Afternoon Tea experience, offering guests not just a meal, but a beautifully curated event. Run by a hands-on husband-and-wife team, the business is an owner-driven operation, with both owners deeply involved in cooking, serving, and creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere. From savory pies and sandwiches to housemade scones and delicate pastries, every item is prepared in-house, adding to the authenticity and appeal that keeps customers returning.
This Cafe for Sale features a cozy and thoughtfully designed 1,000-square-foot layout, including an efficient open kitchen and intimate dining area with eight tables. The sale includes essential equipment to support continued success, such as a Moffat convection oven, two North America single-door stainless steel refrigerators, a two-door glass reach-in refrigerator, a square refrigerated display case, Toast POS system with printers and cash drawer, three-bay sink, commercial microwave, Champion dishwasher, and a Vevor dough mixer, along with assorted smallwares, cookware, dinnerware, and glassware. Tables, chairs, storage units, display fixtures, and a beer and wine license are also included, making this a true turnkey opportunity. The interior reflects the owners' three decades of design experience, creating a visually captivating and charming guest environment. The business currently operates just three days a week, from Friday to Sunday, on a reservation-only system, offering significant potential for expanded hours and increased revenue. In addition to regular service, the restaurant hosts private events such as baby and bridal showers, birthday parties, and social gatherings, all of which generate a steady stream of new and repeat customers. Themed dinners, which take place several times a year, are also popular and consistently draw strong attendance.
The takeout side of the business is well developed, with steady sales of baked goods such as pies, scones, and sweets, especially during the holidays when seasonal items and specialty orders are in high demand. A retail component offering imported English goods adds another layer of revenue and draws guests looking for familiar and hard-to-find items.
The current owners are committed to supporting a smooth transition by offering thorough training and sharing proprietary recipes that have become central to the restaurant's success. With minimal local competition and a loyal customer base, this niche business offers tremendous upside for a passionate owner-operator ready to grow its hours, expand its event calendar, or build upon its retail offerings. This is truly a rare chance to own a thriving specialty restaurant with a unique reputation, a proven business model, and significant potential for future growth.
