1st Floor Ste Retail 2,000 SF Rate Upon Request
Rare opportunity to acquire two established food & beverage businesses in one location — a Chinese noodle restaurant and a bubble tea shop — operating side by side in approximately 2,000 square feet in the heart of Morningside Heights, steps from Columbia University's Morningside campus.

The two businesses occupy separate storefronts on Amsterdam Avenue, each with its own entrance and its own signage: approximately 1,400 SF for the restaurant and 600 SF for the beverage shop, plus a full basement for storage and prep. Both are covered by a single lease with eight years remaining, at approximately $15,000 per month including tax (˜$90/SF/Yr).

Established at this location in 2018, the dual concept has built a loyal following, drawing steady traffic from Columbia students, faculty, and the surrounding residential community throughout the day — meals during peak hours, drinks and snacks in between. A buyer can continue running both businesses side by side, or combine them into a single expanded concept.

The restaurant is fully built out and turnkey: a vented commercial kitchen with hood, vent and gas already in place, a main dining room, and private dining rooms suited to group bookings and events. The beverage storefront trades independently on its own frontage, with its own delivery listings.

Beyond Columbia, the immediate trade area includes Barnard College, Teachers College, Manhattan School of Music, the Jewish Theological Seminary and Riverside Church, alongside a dense residential base. The 1 train is a few blocks away at 116th Street–Columbia University and 125th Street, with A/C service at 125th Street.

Key money: $350,000 for both businesses.
