Description

This is a well-established, highly-rated Manhattan Café with a 20-year history, situated in a prime NYC neighborhood known for its residential density, institutions, and significant daily foot traffic. The business currently operates during daytime hours, cultivating a loyal customer base and generating consistent year-over-year revenue. It also benefits from additional passive income through an evening subtenant. All necessary operations, licenses, systems, and staffing are in place for a smooth ownership transition, making it an excellent opportunity for an owner-operator or experienced food & beverage entrepreneur. The café boasts indoor/outdoor seating for over 50 people and occupies 1000 sq ft interior with 400 sq ft exterior.

The owner is selling due to retirement, and seller financing is available.
