Turnkey Bakery & Café Space on University Avenue in Berkeley
Excellent opportunity to acquire a beautifully designed, fully built-out bakery and café space located along University Avenue in Berkeley.
The approximately 1,158-square-foot space features a distinctive high-ceiling loft-style interior with exposed wood beams, brick accents, oversized street-facing windows, and abundant natural light. The open layout creates a warm, modern, and inviting atmosphere with excellent visibility from the street.
The space has been extensively improved with new finishes, equipment, plumbing, electrical work, food-preparation areas, commercial sinks, refrigeration, customer service counters, display areas, and indoor seating. The improvements were completed with permits, making this a truly turnkey, ready-to-go opportunity for a new operator.
The premises are currently approved under the lease for bakery use and may also be suitable for a bagel shop, bakery, coffee shop, dessert concept, café, or other compatible food-and-beverage operation, subject to landlord consent and applicable governmental approvals.
