Brief:
The best business is the business that runs itself! Located across the street from a major Santa Cruz landmark and tourist destination -- which guarantees a steady flow of customers year-round -- this little breakfast and lunch cafe has served the same “tasty and innovative” menu for 26 years. You can’t get a better location. And it is a turn-key operation. The current owner stops by just once a week to check in, as the place basically runs itself, making it a great opportunity for an investor or first-time restaurant owner. Located at the beach, this café brings in a great, diverse crowd, and is part of a healthy, fun lifestyle. It has a beautiful upstairs apartment with an ocean view that could save you thousands on personal living expenses. The equipment is not all new, but it is all well-maintained and in good running order. The building housing the present operation dates back to the turn of the century, giving the place a historic atmosphere. The landlord is easygoing and cooperative and the lease contains a right of first refusal. And for those who want more than the current cash flow, there is growth potential awaiting by adding a dinner menu and possibly doing some remodeling. After almost three highly successful decades, the owner is moving towards retirement, creating a once-in a lifetime opportunity. Don’t miss it!
