Highly-Rated Breakfast & Lunch Café So. Placer County

Highly Rated Breakfast & Lunch Café — South Placer County / Greater Sacramento Region

A rare opportunity to acquire an established breakfast-and-lunch café with a loyal local following, strong online reputation, manageable hours, and a clean, well-equipped restaurant facility. This business operates in a desirable Northern California foothills market with steady community traffic and a warm neighborhood-café feel.

The café currently operates on a focused six-day schedule, serving breakfast and lunch only, from an efficient approximately 1,500-square-foot footprint. Documented 2025 gross sales were approximately $559,000, with additional seller-stated cash flow available for discussion with qualified buyers after NDA review. 

The current owner acquired the business in 2024 and has made meaningful improvements to the operation, equipment package, and overall presentation of the café. The business is set up for an owner-operator to step in and continue the current concept or build on the existing foundation through expanded hours, additional operating days, beer/wine utilization, catering, online ordering, or other growth strategies.

The café has a broad, approachable menu with breakfast and lunch staples, rotating specials, coffee service, and customer-friendly options that appeal to a wide range of guests. 

Well-Equipped, Ready-to-Run Operation

The owner has invested in both front-of-house and back-of-house improvements, reducing the need for significant immediate capital investment by a new operator. 

Equipment and improvements include, but are not limited to:

• Commercial cooking line with range, griddle, ovens, and fryer
• Refrigerated prep tables, reach-in refrigeration, and freezer equipment
• Steam table, conveyor toaster, prep sinks, and stainless prep surfaces
• Hood system with fire suppression
• Coffee brewing equipment and grinder
• Dining room tables, chairs, booths, and related front-of-house furnishings
• Recently added beer and wine license, subject to transfer approval

Certain vendor-serviced or rented items, such as ice machine, dishwasher, and beverage-related equipment, may not be included in the sale and should be verified during due diligence.

The restaurant presents well, is clean and functional, and is sized appropriately for a hands-on owner-operator.

Premises & Lease

The café occupies approximately 1,500 square feet in a well-located retail setting. Current estimated monthly occupancy cost is approximately $4,259, consisting of approximately $3,325 base rent plus approximately $934 NNN. Lease term runs through approximately May 2029, with two additional five-year options, providing a strong runway for a qualified buyer, subject to landlord approval and lease assignment.
