Established bakery with café in JLT, Dubai, operating since 2011 with dine-in and multi-platform delivery. Revenue growing from AED 331K to AED 407K (2023–2024), asking price AED 600,000.
All-day bakery and café offering a diverse menu: **Food Menu:** Jacket potatoes with creative toppings, toasted sandwiches, bagels, fresh salads, pasta dishes, croissants, pastries, muffins, and brownies. Popular for breakfast, lunch, and coffee-time cravings. **Beverages:** Specialty coffees (hot and iced), tea, smoothies, fresh juices, frappes, iced tea, and hot chocolate. **Signature Items:** Açaí bowls and jacket potatoes — customer favourites that differentiate the menu. **Dine-in & Takeaway (primary):** 560 sq. ft. café with 14 indoor and 12 outdoor seats, serving walk-in customers, residents, and office professionals. **Delivery (growing channel):** Registered on Talabat, Noon, Cream, and Deliveroo — multi-platform delivery reaching customers across Dubai. Pricing is positioned as affordable-premium, with an average ticket of approximately AED 125 for two.
**Customer Base:** Walk-in customers, JLT residents, and office professionals in the surrounding towers. The café serves weekday breakfast and lunch crowds, weekend brunch customers, and evening coffee regulars. **Market Position:** Established brand presence since 2011 in Jumeirah Lake Towers, a high-density business and residential community. The café is known for its cozy ambiance, diverse menu, and quality coffee. **Revenue Trend:** Revenue grew from AED 330,938 in 2023 to AED 407,000 in 2024, showing strong movement towards profitability. Gross profit for 2024 was AED 223,862 (55% margin). **Market Context:** Dubai's café and specialty coffee market continues to grow, driven by an expanding resident population, remote-work culture, and strong tourism. JLT remains a high-density, high-footfall district with ongoing development. **Concentration Risk:** Revenue is concentrated in a single location. Delivery channels provide some diversification, but physical footfall from the immediate JLT cluster is the primary driver.
**Staffing:** 4 experienced staff members — 2 senior in-charge personnel and 2 barista/cook team members. Total monthly salary expense: AED 12,500 (AED 150,000 annually). **Premises:** 560 sq. ft. fully equipped café with 14 indoor seats and 12 outdoor seats. Annual rent: AED 64,000, payable quarterly — highly competitive for a prime JLT location. **Lease & Licensing:** Ejari secured until May 2026. Trade licence valid until 31 October 2025 (renewal application already submitted by current owner). The current owner took over in January 2025. **Reason for Sale:** The current owner is selling the business as they do not have the time required to manage day-to-day operations. **Delivery Operations:** Registered on Talabat, Noon, Cream, and Deliveroo. No in-house delivery fleet — all delivery handled through third-party platforms. **Systems:** Point-of-sale system for in-house transactions. Online ordering integrated through delivery platform APIs. Established standard operating procedures from over a decade of operation.
**Quick Wins:** - Expand the delivery menu and optimize pricing on each platform to increase average order value. - Launch a loyalty program for regular coffee customers to boost repeat frequency. - Introduce seasonal promotions and limited-time menu items to drive social media engagement. **Medium-Term:** - Extend evening hours or introduce an evening menu to capture the post-work crowd. - Develop a catering arm for corporate offices in JLT — breakfast meetings, lunch platters, and event catering. - Build a stronger social media presence with consistent content and influencer collaborations. **Bigger Plays:** - Open additional locations in other high-density Dubai neighborhoods (Marina, Downtown, Business Bay) using the established brand and operating model. - Develop a wholesale coffee bean or branded retail product line. - Explore a franchise or licensing model for the café concept across the UAE. **Why This Opportunity:** The business has been operating since 2011 with an established brand, loyal customer base, trained staff, and a prime location — ideal for a first-time investor or F&B entrepreneur looking to take over a fully functioning café.
