Bayside Café Opportunity – Short Hours, Strong Income, Lifestyle Flexibility

An outstanding opportunity to acquire a well-positioned café in one of Melbourne’s most sought-after bayside suburbs. This business enjoys a loyal local following and delivers consistent weekly takings of $10,000–$13,000, all while operating on exceptionally short trading hours—a rarity in the café space.

Trading predominantly morning hours and closing by around 12pm–1pm daily, with one full day closed per week, this is a true lifestyle business. It offers the ability to generate strong income without the long, demanding hours typically associated with hospitality.

Despite these limited hours, the business performs strongly, with clear potential to further increase revenue by extending trading into afternoons, introducing additional service periods, or expanding the offering.

The café is well presented, efficiently laid out, and supported by a reliable team—making it suitable for an owner-operator or someone seeking a semi-managed structure.

Key Features:

Weekly takings of $10,000–$13,000
Ultra-short trading hours – typically finishing by 12pm–1pm daily
Strong repeat customer base
Fully equipped and ready to operate
Staff in place for smooth transition
Rent of $3,333.34 + GST per month
Secure lease: 3 years commenced January 2026 + further 3-year option
Significant growth potential through extended hours and marketing

The current owners will provide a thorough handover and training, ensuring a smooth transition for the new owner.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a profitable café that offers genuine work-life balance—without sacrificing income.
