Fully Equipped Boba Tea & Coffee Lite Café

Business Overview:

Boba tea, coffee shop, lite café in downtown Tacoma. Open floor plan with almost 2000 square footage. This is clean and everything like new. Very inviting and loads of possibilities.

Right now, the café is running as a light coffee shop and boba tea spot — but since this isn’t a franchise, there are zero limits on where you can take this. Want to overhaul the menu? Go for it. Want to add new drinks, comfort foods, fried snacks, or your own signature creations? Easy. There’s already a grease trap installed, and the previous operator even ran a fried chicken restaurant here for years, so expanding the menu is wide open.

Step outside and you’re in the middle of Downtown Tacoma’s buzz. Offices, retail businesses, local foot traffic, and even a high school just steps away keep this area humming from morning to night. And on weekends? Free street parking makes it even easier for customers to swing by for their coffee or boba fix.

Inside, you’ve got a solid prep kitchen, storage space, and security cameras keeping things smooth. Three part-time employees are holding things down under an absentee owner, but this is where the opportunity really explodes: an owner-operator stepping in can cut labor costs, boost service, and grow profits immediately.

And talk about upside — this shop opens at 9 AM, which means the early morning coffee rush is still untouched. Open an hour or two earlier, and you tap into a whole new stream of customers. Add waffles, crepes, soups, sandwiches, weekend specials, or live entertainment… karaoke nights, local music, open mic — this place has the space and the vibe for it all.

If you are looking for a café business to call your own, here’s a lite café that can do it all and then some. Give us a call to check and see this one.

Property Features and Assets:

The lease is steady through April 2028 with an option to extend, and the rent is just $4,300, including NNN — a fantastic rate for a space this size in such a prime location. Size is 1,960 sq ft, seating 45 inside and 4 more outside. Furniture and fixtures like new, has a grease trap and the ability to cook and fry foods in the kitchen.

Market Competition and Expansion:

Lots of upside potential on this café, as this is not a franchise, so the menu or décor can be altered to better fit your business plan. No real marketing or advertising has been done and this spacious open floor plan is just a blank canvas waiting for new owner to start the money making creativity, with live entertainment, and or full restaurant activities. This café business has no other similar type cafes close by. Seller is absentee so an owner operator in place on a daily basis could make a sizable positive impact.

Reason for Selling:

Seller lives out of country. Kindly ask the seller for more information.
