Business Description
Discover a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own and operate a thriving café in Downtown San Diego—designed for entrepreneurs who think outside the box.
Turnkey Coffee Shop in Prime Downtown Corridor: This fully operational café is located in a vibrant, walkable downtown neighborhood with strong residential and office foot traffic.
Unique Live/Work Hybrid Lease: The business operates within a two-story loft setup—zoned residential but approved for current commercial use. The ground level hosts the café, while two upstairs studio-style units offer residential or rental flexibility.
Rental Advantage: Total rent for the combined units is $6,150/month. However, each residential unit independently rents for approximately $3,000/month. A savvy new owner could: – Live in one unit and lease the other – Lease both units – Offset or eliminate monthly rent entirely through sublease income
Landlord-Approved Use & Support: While the lease is structured as an 18-month renewable term, the landlord is aware of and supportive of the current use and desires the café to remain in place, allowing for strong renewal confidence.
Sale Includes: – All furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) – Extensive leasehold improvements – Loyal customer base and operational goodwill. Current Health Department May 2025 thru 2026 & high quality Coffee Machine!
