Newly refurbished coffee shop in the heart of little Chelsea, Eastbourne
This successful and highly rated coffee shop occupies a prominent position in little Chelsea in Eastbourne. This is an affluent area located in central Eastbourne and is only two minutes’ walk from Eastbourne’s railway station and less than five minutes walk from the Arndale shopping centre. This area has a reputation for being a lively independent shopping and dining quarter, with many solicitors, architects, accountancy firms and Eastbourne library all within a short walk of the coffee shop. The concern is assured of an all year-round trade and experiences an increase in turnover during the high summer season. The coffee shop was established 5 years ago and during this time they have received excellent reviews on Trip Advisor (5*), Google Reviews (4.8*) and Facebook (4.5*). At present the coffee shop offers a brunch menu and range of sandwiches - there would be considerable scope to increase the menu range and to fully utilise the commercial kitchen setup. The owners have decided to sell the business as they wish to retire.
