The coffee shop occupies a prime trading position within one of Brighton’s most vibrant and desirable neighbourhoods. The area benefits from a strong year-round local customer base, supported by a lively, cosmopolitan community, as well as consistent trade from the surrounding guesthouses and boutique hotels that attract significant weekend and summer visitor numbers. The coffee shop benefits from an excellent daily footfall from students, staff, visitors, tourists and local residents, creating a large and diverse potential customer base. The café has built an excellent reputation with a loyal base of repeat customers and benefits from very strong online feedback across Facebook and Google Reviews, reinforcing its position as a well-regarded local business. The business is currently focused on quality coffee, pastries and cakes. However, there is clear opportunity for an incoming operator to expand the food offering and maximise use of the existing kitchen facilities, presenting strong potential to increase turnover and profitability.
