Character cafe with a modern fitout!

After a spot for your cafe concept? This contemporary space with a heritage aesthetic has everything you need to launch your business in the city!
The space
This light-filled space is located inside Adelaide’s Grote Street Early Settler store, which offers a furniture collection ranging from modern classics to traditional period pieces.
The cafe comes complete with filtered water taps (chilled still and sparkling), a coffee machine (Magister Automatic Espresso Machine) and accessories, as well as display fridges, 2x microwaves, a benchtop salamander grill, mini fridge and an ice maker. There is a handwash basin as well as soap and towelette dispensers.
The adjacent kitchen offers stainless steel benchtops and ample cupboard storage. It comes complete with a dishwasher, double-door fridge, benchtop exhaust hood, 2 x 4-tray convection ovens and a dishwashing sink. The split-system air conditioner will keep you cool while you work!
You’ll also have access to a gorgeous checkerboard-tiled dining area. This space features a tall bench and bar stool seating and has natural light flooding through the front windows, offering great visibility of your cafe for passersby. Extra seating is available on request.
The location
The cafe and Early Settler store are located right on the bustling fringe of the Central Market precinct. It was most recently home to Renew Adelaide venture The Queen of Adelaide, which offered iconic high teas in the space for three years.
You’ll be able to offer something a little extra for your captive audience of in-store shoppers, or catch the eye of the lunchtime crowd milling around the precinct. The western end of the city offers a blend of retail, hospitality and residential, allowing your business to reach a diverse audience of city dwellers, workers and visitors.
Who you are
We’re looking for a daytime hospitality operator who can offer this precinct something a little different and align with Early Settler’s heritage aesthetic. Perhaps you’ve got a cafe concept like Renew Adelaide graduates POGO Coffee Roasters or Cielo, or something that offers a nod to the past like The Queen of Adelaide did? If so, we’d love to hear from you!
