Established six years ago, this immaculately presented coffee shop and delicatessen occupies a prominent coastal trading position just off the arterial A259, situated between Shoreham-by-Sea and Worthing. Positioned in close proximity to both Widewater Lagoon and Lancing Beach, the business draws reliable custom from dog walkers, beach visitors, and an extensive surrounding residential catchment, ensuring steady, year-round trade. The daytime menu focuses on artisan coffee, homemade cakes, made-to-order sandwiches, seasonal salads, and light lunches. Beyond daily counter trade, the business has successfully developed high-margin secondary revenue streams, including curated seasonal gift hampers for occasions such as Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. The café’s consistent quality and community presence are reflected in exceptional online review profiles, including a 4.8★ rating on Google, 5★ on TripAdvisor, and 4.8★ on Facebook. Operational infrastructure and licensing offer tangible upside for an incoming proprietor. While
the business presently focuses on daytime trade, previously hosted Tex-Mex pop-up nights demonstrated substantial local appetite for evening dining. With an existing premises licence already secured, there is immediate scope to extend trading hours into regular
evening service, weekend supper clubs, or a relaxed wine and tapas offering.
