A rare chance to acquire the assets of a fully equipped café, coffee, and dessert shop located just steps from the waterfront and downtown core of Saugatuck, MI—one of America’s top-ranked small-town destinations. This thriving lakeshore community is nationally recognized for its art scene, boutique shopping, marinas, and vibrant summer tourism, attracting affluent visitors from Chicago, the Midwest, and beyond.

Originally opened in 2021, the previous café quickly built a loyal following for its warm atmosphere and quality menu. After a change in ownership and a seasonal pause, the location is now positioned for a motivated owner-operator to step in and re-establish it as a premier gathering spot for locals and visitors alike. This turnkey operation comes complete with espresso/coffee stations, kitchen equipment, display cases, seating, and outdoor patio space - ideally located near downtown shops, marinas, and the waterfront.

Highlights
•	Prime Location: Walkable to marinas, shops, galleries, and Lake Michigan attractions; ideal for capturing heavy seasonal and tourist foot traffic.
•	Turnkey Setup: Includes coffee/espresso stations, kitchen equipment, display cases, cold storage, and furnished dining and patio spaces.
•	Flexible Concept: Perfect for a specialty café, bakery/dessert shop, breakfast & lunch spot, or high-volume grab-and-go operation.
•	Affluent Market: Seasonal and tourist-driven clientele with strong discretionary spending.
•	Growth Potential: Extend beyond summer, enhance online/mobile ordering, refresh menu, and introduce special events for off-season revenue.

This is an exceptional opportunity for an entrepreneur or experienced operator to step into a proven, ready-to-go café in a beautiful waterfront town - without the delays and costs of building from scratch.

  • Date available: Now
  • Lease term: 3 - 5 Years
