Escape to Your Dream: Once-in-a-Lifetime Chance to Own This Incredible Buiness

In Queensland’s Mackay Region, this licensed cafe blends coastal proximity with country charm. A beloved local hub and traveller stop, it’s a lifestyle business. Lovingly renovated, professionally branded, and systematised, it features a high-volume commercial kitchen and efficient front-of-house workstations (handling 40kg/week coffee, scalable to 100kg+). With automated tools like milk steamers and grind-by-weight grinders and PUQ press, it’s ideal for owner-operators. The inviting atmosphere fosters community connection, drawing morning coffee regulars and weekend family diners.

Turn-key opportunity with streamlined operations: seamless on boarding, integrated API software for menu costing/pricing, and comprehensive training. High turnover, low daily effort, and exciting investment potential.

The current owners adore this space but are relocating. They're seeking the right new custodians to carry the torch - and are willing to discount for the perfect fit. Express your interest to see if that’s you.
