Turnkey Neighborhood Cafe, Coffeehouse And Bar

Business Overview:

Turnkey Neighborhood Cafe, Coffeehouse and Bar
Acquire a fully built-out neighborhood café and bar near Portland's Northwest waterfront for less than the estimated value of its included assets. With diversified revenue streams, established systems, an experienced team, and a transferable liquor license, this business offers immediate revenue and meaningful upside for an owner-operator.
Located in one of Portland's most desirable urban neighborhoods, the café serves residents, professionals, and visitors from morning through evening, seven days a week. Revenue is well diversified, with approximately 45% generated from coffee, 30% from food, and 23% from alcohol sales. An active loyalty program, email marketing efforts, and a partnership with a neighboring apartment community help drive both repeat business and new customer acquisition.
This is a true turnkey opportunity. The sale includes recipes, operating procedures, vendor relationships, inventory, training materials, and documented systems. An experienced team is in place, and the café is fully equipped with a La Marzocco espresso machine, walk-in cooler, multi-tap draft system, pizza oven, and custom furnishings. The liquor license is transferable, subject to OLCC approval.
Currently operated under a semi-absentee ownership model, the business is well-positioned for a new owner to build on an established foundation. An owner-operator willing to take a more active role in the business may be able to improve profitability through labor optimization, operational efficiencies, and focused growth initiatives.
Seller transition support is included, allowing a new owner to step into operations quickly and confidently. Revenue through the first eight months of 2026 totaled approximately $204,000, placing the business on pace to exceed $300,000 in annual sales while maintaining strong gross margins.

Property Features and Assets:

Established in 2025, the café was created by an owner with prior experience operating a successful Portland coffee concept under the same brand. The vision was to build more than a coffee shop: a welcoming community gathering place offering quality food, beverages, and a neighborhood atmosphere.

To support that vision, the owner invested in key infrastructure improvements, including a walk-in cooler, draft beer system, and liquor license, expanding the concept beyond traditional coffee service. In a relatively short period, the business has developed a strong local reputation for friendly service, consistent quality, and value. The foundation has been established, and the business is well positioned for a new owner to continue building on its momentum and community presence.

Market Competition and Expansion:

While Portland is known for its vibrant coffee culture, this business enjoys a distinct competitive advantage within its immediate market area. Unlike nearby cafés that close in the early afternoon, this operation remains open into the evening and offers beer, wine, and handcrafted cocktails, allowing it to capture customer demand long after competitors have closed.

The business has intentionally positioned itself as a neighborhood destination rather than a grab-and-go coffee stop. This approach has fostered a loyal base of regular customers and strengthened its reputation as a local gathering place. In addition, a unique relationship with a neighboring apartment community provides recurring exposure to new residents and a steady source of customer acquisition.

For a hands-on owner-operator who enjoys hospitality, community engagement, and customer service, this business offers a strong platform with a proven operating model and meaningful opportunities for future growth

Significant growth opportunities remain for a motivated owner.

Private Events & Rentals: The café is well suited for private gatherings, networking events, and community functions, yet these opportunities are currently underutilized. Increased promotion could create an attractive additional revenue stream.

Expanded Digital Marketing: Current marketing efforts rely primarily on POS-generated email campaigns and Yelp. Enhanced social media activity, Google optimization, paid advertising, and targeted local outreach could substantially increase visibility and customer traffic.

Additional Residential & Business Partnerships: The existing apartment-community partnership has proven successful and could be replicated with nearby residential developments and employers seeking local perks for residents and employees.
