An iconic café in the heart of Geelong's famous Pakington Street hospitality strip is now available for the first time in years. This well-known and highly successful business is so recognisable that locals will likely guess its identity before enquiring. With over 18 years of continuous operation, a loyal customer base, and a strong brand built on quality, consistency, and community connection, this is a rare opportunity to secure a thriving hospitality business in one of the region's most tightly held locations.
The café offers a creative all-day breakfast menu, wholesome seasonal meals, premium coffee, and a warm, family- and pet-friendly atmosphere. The space is equally suited to casual catchups, group functions, and takeaways, with indoor and outdoor dining designed for comfort and efficiency. An experienced team of five full-time and 15 casual staff manage daily operations, supported by systems allowing minimal owner input. Catering and function services are well-established, with strong connections across local schools, sporting clubs, and businesses.
Currently operating under a low-touch ownership model, one owner oversees strategy and visits the café as needed, while the second handles payroll in under an hour per week. This business can be run under full management or presents a lucrative opportunity for a hands-on operator to step in and further increase returns. With consistent turnover in the 7-figure range and substantial adjusted profits, it delivers lifestyle and income in one of regional Victoria's premier café strips.
