This compact leasehold café on Slades Road offers a turnkey operation with low running costs and a strong hygiene record. The business has been fully refurbished and includes paid-for equipment and fittings, so a new owner can trade immediately without major capital outlay.
Trading from a highly visible spot close to St Austell town centre and major visitor draws (Eden Project, Heligan, nearby Charlestown), the cafe benefits from steady tourist and local footfall. Current opening hours are daytime only; there is clear potential to increase turnover by adding evening service and joining delivery platforms.
Financially the business shows promise: forecast annual turnover circa £50,000, rent only £3,600 pa and business rates currently nil. However this is a leasehold sale with approximately 7.6 years remaining on the original 10-year term — that shorter lease and lease-review structure may limit long-term security and lender support for some buyers.
The setting is practical rather than premium: small indoor seating (covers 12) plus outdoor seating for up to 24, standard ceiling heights and mid-century/contemporary fit-out. The surrounding area has high visitor numbers but is classified as very deprived for local residents, so trading will remain seasonal and reliant on tourists unless the buyer diversifies hours or services.
