This popular coffee shop & eatery enjoys a prime location in the centre of Kimberley. Winner of ‘Best Café’ Nottinghamshire in England’s Business Awards in 2022 and 2023 and boasting 2.1k followers on Facebook.

No18 Coffee & Eatery was established in March 2022, following a tasteful and attractive full refit. The premises are very much part and parcel of Kimberley, having been used as a café for more than 15 years. Benefitting from both indoor and outdoor seating, a prominent position with free parking immediately outside, the business draws regular repeat custom locally and further afield. This is a turnkey business with lots of potential. A change in the vendors circumstance presents this reluctant sale. 

THE BUSINESS & PROPERTY DETAILS:

Location: This cafe & coffee shop trades from Unit 6, Kimberley Shopping Centre, Greens Lane, Kimberley, Nottingham NG16 2PB, in the centre of this historic Nottinghamshire town. Kimberley features a diverse shopping area centred around Main Street and the historic, cobbled James Street. It offers a mix of local independent retailers, cafes, and a Sainsbury’s supermarket. There is a generous sized car park directly outside the premises. The car park has a 90-minute limit; however, staff are added to an exemption list and can park free of charge all day (or alternatively park around the back of the shop). Kimberley is easily accessible, with regular buses passing through, and is 2 miles from Junction 26 of the M1 motorway and 6 miles from Nottingham City.

The business: The café / coffee shop has 28 covers inside and 6 outside. The menu consists of breakfast options and light bites such as paninis, baguettes and scones, along with a large range of cakes; all offered as eat in or takeaway. Seasonal changes are made. Barista made coffee is very popular. The 200 Degrees Coffee brand is used and extremely popular. The business currently has no direct competition locally.

Potential: There is still plenty of potential with this business.
