This popular coffee shop & eatery enjoys a prime location in the centre of Kimberley. Winner of ‘Best Café’ Nottinghamshire in England’s Business Awards in 2022 and 2023 and boasting 2.1k followers on Facebook.
No18 Coffee & Eatery was established in March 2022, following a tasteful and attractive full refit. The premises are very much part and parcel of Kimberley, having been used as a café for more than 15 years. Benefitting from both indoor and outdoor seating, a prominent position with free parking immediately outside, the business draws regular repeat custom locally and further afield. This is a turnkey business with lots of potential. A change in the vendors circumstance presents this reluctant sale.
THE BUSINESS & PROPERTY DETAILS:
Location: This cafe & coffee shop trades from Unit 6, Kimberley Shopping Centre, Greens Lane, Kimberley, Nottingham NG16 2PB, in the centre of this historic Nottinghamshire town. Kimberley features a diverse shopping area centred around Main Street and the historic, cobbled James Street. It offers a mix of local independent retailers, cafes, and a Sainsbury’s supermarket. There is a generous sized car park directly outside the premises. Kimberley is easily accessible, with regular buses passing through, and is 2 miles from Junction 26 of the M1 motorway and 6 miles from Nottingham City.
The business: The café / coffee shop has 28 covers inside and 6 outside. The menu consists of breakfast options and light bites such as paninis, baguettes and scones, along with a large range of cakes; all offered as eat in or takeaway. Seasonal changes are made. Barista made coffee is very popular. The business currently has no direct competition locally.
Potential: There is still plenty of potential with this business.
