Business Description:
This established specialty coffee business serves a growing Central Texas market with a broad menu of handcrafted beverages, including espresso-based drinks, cold brew, teas, lemonades, frappes, dirty sodas, and Lotus energy drinks. In addition to beverages, the business offers breakfast items and fresh baked goods sourced from local bakers, creating convenient, quality options for customers throughout the day. With both drive-thru and dine-in service, the company has built a loyal customer base by focusing on speed, consistency, quality, and a welcoming atmosphere. Its customer base includes local residents, commuters, remote workers, students, church staff, and other community members seeking both convenience and a comfortable place to gather, work, or study.
The company was incorporated in 2021 and began operations in 2023 in a 1,566-square-foot leased retail space within a neighborhood strip center. Since opening, the business has experienced steady growth in both revenue and staffing, reflecting rising customer demand and strong local brand adoption. The location benefits from excellent roadside visibility, convenient access, and neighboring businesses that contribute to shared traffic and customer awareness.
Over recent years, the business has transitioned successfully from its startup phase into a more stable and profitable operation, supported by improving sales, healthy gross margins, trained staff, and efficient day-to-day systems. Operations are efficient and well organized, with trained staff already in place to support both daily service and administrative functions. The owner currently works approximately 40 hours per week and remains actively involved in ordering supplies, refining drink recipes, overseeing social media marketing, and hiring and training employees. A part-time bookkeeper/manager assists with scheduling, financial reporting, and administrative support, while baristas handle beverage preparation, food service, POS operations, and customer service. The business has demonstrated the ability to operate smoothly during the owner’s absence, showing that systems and personnel are in place for a successful transition to new ownership.
The operating model offers flexibility for a new owner, with multiple avenues for continued growth. Revenue opportunities include extending operating hours, improving drive-thru throughput, enhancing digital marketing, strengthening loyalty programs, implementing online ordering and mobile pay, expanding catering and bulk beverage orders, and increasing upselling of pastries, breakfast items, add-ons, and branded merchandise. The business also benefits from a strong community presence, active word-of-mouth referrals, and a local brand identity that helps distinguish it from national competitors.
This business represents an attractive acquisition opportunity for buyers seeking a modern, community-oriented beverage concept with a loyal customer base, strong brand presence, and meaningful growth potential in a desirable Central Texas trade area. With dual revenue channels through drive-thru and dine-in service, trained staff in place, and a well-equipped turnkey facility, the business is positioned to provide both immediate operating continuity and long-term upside.
The owner represents that the business has excellent matching books & records and can prove all sales & expenses.

Turnkey Specialty Coffee Business in a High-Growth Texas Market
Facilities: The business operates from a conveniently located leased retail space totaling approximately 1,566+/- square feet. The facility is situated within a neighborhood strip center and is designed to support a full coffee bar, kitchen/prep area, drive-thru service, indoor and outdoor seating, storage, and customer restrooms. The current lease expires in approximately July 2028 and includes an option to renew, with a 10% increase in base rent at renewal. The seller believes the lease may be assignable to a qualified buyer, subject to landlord approval. Base rent is $2,950 per month, plus approximately $658 per month in NNN expenses. Utilities average approximately $481 per month for electricity and $143 per month for water. The space is efficiently laid out and fully equipped to support continued turnkey operations.
Competition: There are relatively few direct competitors in the immediate trade area, although the business does compete with a small number of national and regional coffee concepts nearby. Several factors help create meaningful barriers to entry. A highly visible location with drive-thru access is a significant advantage and is not easily replicated. In addition, the upfront investment required for leasehold improvements, espresso equipment, refrigeration, drive-thru infrastructure, and working capital can be substantial for a new entrant. The business also benefits from strong local brand recognition, customer loyalty, and an established community presence, which further insulates it from competition. In this relationship-driven segment of the market, consistent quality, convenience, and customer trust take time to build, giving an established operator a meaningful competitive edge.
Growth & Expansion: The business has several clear avenues for continued growth within its existing footprint and operating model. Opportunities include extending operating hours to capture additional early morning, evening, or weekend traffic, improving drive-thru throughput during peak periods, and increasing average ticket size through add-ons, pastries, breakfast bundles, extra espresso shots, flavor upgrades, and branded merchandise. Additional upside exists in expanding digital marketing efforts, strengthening loyalty and rewards programs, implementing online ordering and mobile pay, and introducing more seasonal or high-margin specialty beverages. The business could also grow through catering, bulk beverage orders, and partnerships with local schools, churches, offices, and community events. With an established brand, loyal customer base, trained staff, and a fully equipped turnkey facility already in place, the business is well positioned for sustained growth without requiring major capital investment.
Support & Training: Seller will train buyer for 4 weeks included with the purchase price. Seller is willing to provide additional training at mutually agreed compensation for a finite period.
Reason for Selling: Seller has built a profitable coffee business and is ready for their next adventure.
