A well-known independent cafe in central Ipswich has been put on the market for £39,995.

The big picture: Following our news that Cool Beanz had been listed for sale earlier this week, Cafe Myra on St. Nicholas Street has also hit the market. The business, which reported a turnover of £82,000 in its last financial year, is being marketed by CoGoGo.

Why it matters: The sale offers a new owner an opportunity to take over an established business in a prime location with high footfall.

The details:

  • The cafe is in a busy area surrounded by retail stores, offices, and residential buildings.

  • It currently operates during regular business hours.

  • The menu includes breakfast, lunch, snacks and sweet treats.

What they're saying: CoGoGo describes Cafe Myra as having a "warm, inviting atmosphere with tasteful decor" and a "strong reputation for quality and service".

Between the lines: The sale price only covers the business itself. The information provided does not include lease arrangements for the premises, and the business's profitability has not been disclosed.

Looking ahead: The listing suggests several growth opportunities for the new owner, including:

  • Expanding into delivery and catering services

  • Hosting events such as themed nights or live music sessions

  • Increasing marketing efforts and social media presence

The bottom line: This sale represents a chance for someone to enter Ipswich's cafe scene with an already established brand and customer base.
