About this business
A city-centre cafe in Leeds opened in 2024, serving speciality coffee, brunch and lunch to office workers, students and shoppers. It trades from leased premises and employs 12, including baristas and kitchen staff. Turnover has grown each year, from £352k to £380k, and EBITDA from £38k to £42k and then £47k. Margins are around 12%, which is typical for a staffed city-centre cafe. The concept is not tied to this site, so a buyer could move it or repeat it elsewhere.

Reason for sale
