Turnkey 1,100 SF Café/Restaurant – Prime Aptos Location – New 2025 Build-Out

Santa Cruz County, California
270,000
Here’s a great opportunity to acquire a beautifully built-out café/restaurant in a high-traffic shopping center in Aptos, CA. This is a rare chance to step into a fully equipped, professionally designed food service space with all new equipment and recent 2025 remodel.

The business is currently operated with a manager and employees, with the owner living out of the country. The space features approximately 1,100 square feet, excellent visibility, and ample parking in a well-established retail center. Lease is very reasonable at $3,600/month plus NNN, with a cooperative landlord.

This is being sold primarily as an asset sale. The full kitchen is underutilized, making this an ideal opportunity for an experienced operator to introduce a new or expanded concept such as fast casual eatery, or light restaurant.

Revenue was in an upward trend in 2025, but due to the Seller experiencing health-related issues, the sale of this business must occur. This is a true turnkey facility with FF&E included, minimal startup friction, and strong upside potential through concept repositioning, extended hours, and delivery/catering.

Ideal for an owner-operator or small group seeking a plug-and-play restaurant space in a premier coastal market.
