A cozy, popular café in a central neighborhood

Due to our age, we are looking to sell our popular, family-run café in southern Berlin. It is fully furnished and can therefore be taken over without a long start-up period. Upon request, we’d be happy to provide support during the first few weeks after the handover to ensure a smooth transition. The excellent location in the heart of the neighborhood, with its bustling shopping street, attracts both regulars and walk-in customers alike. In addition, the proximity to the transportation hub connecting to and from BER Airport ensures a steady stream of customers from all over the world. Our café has made a name for itself primarily as a breakfast spot. Homemade cakes, as well as soups and other meals—all available “to go”—round out the menu. The following factors also ensure a significant increase in revenue: - the street festivals held right next to the café on three weekends a year (May, September, December) - private events (popular due to the cozy atmosphere: baptisms, birthday parties, memorial services) - a delivery service to businesses and organizations. The café seats about 20 guests indoors and up to 30 for private events. The adjoining patio (approx. 6 x 5 m, private property requiring no permit) doubles the seating capacity and is used year-round. The existing awning and umbrellas provide protection from the sun and rain. Setting up a tent (up to 6 x 4 m in size) for special occasions is easily possible.

Cozy café/bistro with an established business for sale

This restaurant offers a unique opportunity to take over a lively, warmly run establishment that has long been a staple gathering place in the neighborhood. From the popular lunch service to the relaxed afternoon hours and the convivial evening atmosphere, there’s a natural flow throughout the day that attracts guests of all ages and creates a pleasant, welcoming ambiance. The interior, with seating for about 35, is clearly laid out and warmly designed, complemented by a separate smoking area that adds flexibility. During the summer months, the large patio, which seats about 100, becomes the heart of the business and regularly draws large crowds. A key factor in the restaurant’s success is its professionally organized delivery service, which has established itself as a stable source of income and ensures consistent revenue even outside peak hours. Thanks to efficient processes and a well-coordinated team, the restaurant can be run with a relatively small staff—a major advantage for cost-effective and stress-free operations. On days with sporting events, a special energy emerges that brings additional vibrancy and boosts revenue. The entire inventory is included in the sale, enabling an immediate and straightforward takeover. A restaurant with heart, structure, and potential—ready for someone who wants to continue its story and enrich it with new ideas.

The company is an established full-service dining concept that combines breakfast, lunch, and dinner service seven days a week under one roof. It is positioned in the upper-middle price segment and combines a classic à la carte restaurant business with high operational continuity throughout the day.

As a result, the company has a distinctive market profile and a solid foundation for stable occupancy throughout the day. It attracts a diverse clientele with strong purchasing power: regulars from the surrounding neighborhood, professionals from nearby offices (business lunches), prominent figures from the worlds of culture, business, and politics, as well as tourists. Long-standing customer loyalty across all times of the day, a consistently award-winning food and beverage menu, and a well-coordinated, experienced team ensure the company a reliable and predictable revenue base. A motivated and highly experienced team of 10 full-time and 4 part-time employees, including a professional head chef and service staff who have been with the establishment for decades, is another highlight of this business.

Buying a company vs. buying a firm

Buying a company means acquiring an independent organizational unit that regularly carries out an economic activity. A company can consist of one or several business operations. An individual can also found such an independent unit if they regularly carry out an economic activity — in that case it is called a sole proprietorship. As a rule, sole proprietors don't have to register in the commercial register; without that registration, they don't legally count as a "firm." A trade name, colloquially a "firm," is the name under which a company or sole proprietor appears publicly and conducts its business. Buying "a firm" therefore technically means acquiring the company's name or trading name. In everyday use, though, it's used interchangeably with buying a company — i.e. acquiring the entire business.
