Fully Built-Out Restaurant w/ Patio & Bar
A long-standing café and restaurant serving the Livermore Valley for over 10 years, offering a well-designed and versatile space. The restaurant features a bright 3,500 sq ft main dining area, a 600 sq ft street-facing patio with strong curb appeal, and an additional 1,000 sq ft second level used for office and storage. The lease includes two five-year options to extend. The location sits along a busy main street near residential homes and nearby schools, providing excellent visibility and steady daily traffic. The building is adjacent to a large parking area primarily used by the restaurant, making access easy for customers. The business currently operates only during breakfast and lunch hours, leaving significant growth potential for a future owner-operator. The kitchen is spacious, fully built out, and ready for high-volume service. It includes two recently serviced 14-foot Type I hoods with fire suppression systems, a Blodgett bakery-depth full-size convection oven, two Frymaster double-basket fryers, a 6-burner range, flat griddles, multiple 5-foot refrigerated prep stations, a large 15’ x 11’ walk-in refrigerator, and a 6’ x 9’ walk-in freezer. Additional features include a pass-through warming shelf, commercial ice machine, soda fountain system, three-compartment sink, and an outdoor underground grease trap. All equipment is in good working order. The restaurant also features a beautiful 18-foot bar with a draft beer system, under-bar refrigeration, and back-bar coolers. The restaurant offers seating for approximately 90 guests indoors, including bar seating, along with a pet-friendly outdoor patio seating about 30 guests. The business operates with a full Type 47 ABC liquor license, currently underutilized due to limited operating hours. Well positioned in the Livermore Valley with an established customer base, this semi-absentee operated restaurant is ideal for a hands-on owner-operator to step in, expand operations, and maximize the potential of the space and location.
