The café was acquired by the current owners in order to simply provide a “shop window” for their primary business which is a coffee roasting company. Huge potential exists here to fully promote a lunch offering in addition to coffee, cakes and sandwiches. Outside catering and a delivery service would also prove to be very lucrative facet of the business. In addition to the elegant ground floor café servery and seating, the lower floor provides additional intimate seating areas with comfortable sofas as well as a side room capable of accommodating 12 to 16 people for private parties, events or just as a meeting place. There are so many under-utilised areas of the business, including a huge separate room which could easily host large business meetings, be used as a group training facility, or the space could be possibly opened up to accommodate a complimentary business, such as for fitness classes.
