Dee Why Café – Prime Location & Huge Potential for Owner-Operator

Description

Located in the heart of Dee Why, this well-presented café offers an incredible opportunity for an experienced owner-operator to step in and breathe new life into a venue with strong bones, a loyal local following, and serious growth potential.

Strategically positioned on busy Pittwater Road, the café enjoys excellent street exposure and consistent foot traffic. Surrounded by residential developments, fitness centers, and only moments from the beach, this vibrant Northern Beaches location offers a laid-back lifestyle and a café culture that continues to thrive.

The café is currently operated by a small team of three casual staff, ideal for anyone seeking a compact, easy-to-manage café without the overhead.

Established in 2018, this cozy and stylish café features indoor seating for 4 and outdoor seating for 10. The modern, minimalist fit-out has been recently refreshed with a new coat of paint, maintaining a polished and inviting look.

The business is being sold on an asset valuation basis and is not being sold on financial performance, making it well-suited to a buyer who understands how to assess profitability from top-line sales rather than P&L statements.

The current owner is unable to be hands-on due to other work commitments, and while the café is operational, it would benefit greatly from more active management. Under previous ownership, the business was turning over $8K–$9K per week—a level that a committed operator could potentially restore with ease.

The sale includes a full suite of well-maintained equipment, with several items recently upgraded, allowing for a smooth and seamless takeover.

The curated menu includes specialty coffee made with premium Barrel One beans and a mix of popular savoury and sweet options, such as toasted sandwiches, breakfast rolls, almond croissants, and large cookies. The average customer spend sits at $30, with trade primarily from loyal locals.

There are several clear opportunities for a savvy operator to unlock growth:

Extend trading hours to attract early commuters and afternoon/evening trade

Re-establish delivery platforms (Uber Eats, DoorDash) – the existing listing holds an impressive 4.9-star rating

Enhance the menu with seasonal, vegan, or gluten-free options

Implement a local marketing strategy, including social media, loyalty programs, and local partnerships

A long lease is in place until August 2026, with a further 5+5 option available, providing security and peace of mind for the future.

This is not a business for someone expecting a turnkey profit—it’s a chance to acquire a quality space, prime location, and proven customer base at an accessible price point. Perfect for someone ready to roll up their sleeves and turn potential into performance.
