About this opportunity
Baker & Barista are a café that offers locally sourced freshly baked goods from Jean-Pierre Artisan Bakery and is equipped and supplied with fantastic coffee and high-end espresso equipment by Specialty Coffee Trader. This busy café located in the Willows Shopping Centre is in a fantastic position and has a loyal customer base to boot. Baker & Barista has the trifecta when it comes to offering excellent food, coffee, and service to their customers, and certainly stands out from other cafés with their selection of artisan baked goods.
Business Story
Baker & Barista offers specialty coffee by Veneziano coffee roasters, along with milkshakes, frappes, smoothies, and a selection of cold beverages. The made to order food offering is limited but top quality, mainly sticking to the essentials with croissants, toasties, bacon and eggs, sandwiches and more. In addition to the made to order menu, they also offer the full range of baked goods from Jean-Pierre Artisan Bakery which helps round out the menu for those with a sweet tooth.
The café operates out of an 86m2 shopfront in the Willows Shopping Centre, perfectly located for maximum exposure in a high traffic area. Parking is no issue at all thanks to Willows Shopping Centre offering plenty of them. The fit out of the café is incredible and creates a comfortable and inviting atmosphere with the smell of fresh baked goods and coffee permeating the store.
When the business becomes yours, you will receive tuition from the current owners which will help you grow accustomed to operating the business as an owner. This tuition will give you a great foundation to transition into ownership smoothly.
Further improvements for growth in this opportunity could be the installation of a commercial kitchen which will allow you to expand the menu and capture further customers looking for more when it comes to food offering.
The current owners of the business have been operating it for 5 years now but have decided it is time to go their own ways and each focus on their personal businesses. If this opportunity interests you, give us a call today!

Phil started his working career in purchasing with large and multi-national companies in Sydney.
A family relocation to Bowen in 1974 was the catalyst to owning his own business.
Phil has been in various businesses from Pest Control to Delicatessen/Takeaway and has for the last 39 years built a wholesale business that has served Bowen, Whitsundays, Mackay and the Coalfields, from 1 truck and himself to 6 trucks and 15 employees.
This has given Phil a very solid knowledge of the area from Bowen to Rockhampton and what it takes to thrive in business there.
Phil has a strong knowledge of business and business practices built through the process of growing his own business as well as time spent on State Franchise Council and dealing with the many changing government policies in those 39 years.
The process of selling his own business has shown Phil the real need for a locally based business broker, easily contacted and heavily focused on the Central Queensland area, which has led to his involvement in CQ Business Brokers.
