Cafe for sale in Leeds with a strong local reputation and potential for new ownership

Description

An exceptional opportunity to acquire this long-established, fully licensed café, successfully operated by our clients since 2016. Over the past decade, Never Enough Thyme has become a valued part of the local community, building an excellent reputation and a loyal base of repeat customers.The café currently trades over five days per week, opening from 10am on weekdays and 9am at weekends. Monthly turnover ranges between £10,000 and £15,000. The later opening hours reflect the owners’ family commitments and provide clear scope for new proprietors to extend trading times. Earlier openings to capture additional breakfast trade, along with potential menu or service enhancements, could significantly increase revenue, as could fuller use of the valuable alcohol licence for afternoon teas or bistro evenings.After ten successful years, the owners are preparing to emigrate, creating a rare opportunity for new operators to continue the café’s growth. The business offers strong foundations, an established brand, and a highly visible High Street presence.The premises are held on a secure lease with very reasonable rent for such a prime trading location. Prominently positioned on a busy High Street, the café benefits from strong footfall and convenient roadside parking directly outside.The double-fronted property features a welcoming counter and service area with bar and professional coffee machine, alongside a stylish seating area comfortably accommodating 26 customers. There is also a dedicated retail space for gifts and greeting cards, providing an additional income stream. To the rear is a well-equipped kitchen and food preparation area, together with customer WC facilities. Externally, there is seating for four at the front and access to a small rear yard suitable for bin storage.
