Business Description

Low rent, perfect location, food and coffee, dumplings production

Cafe Poland was established in 2013. Working as part time cafe (mostly weekends). Focused on original Polish Food made from scratch, selling European beers and wines, as well as fine coffee drinks (espresso machine). Cafe is tiny but very well organized to maximize the use of space. It has front patio and site patio. The sale listed on this page is for a part time work, and 9.5 months a year. Perfect for family business. Cafe is located in a center of downtown Columbia, MO; one block from University of Missouri. Once a year, additional big money is brought by the True/False Film Festival attended by people from all over US and the world. Polish food has no competition between Chicago and Colorado, but in this location, you can sell anything you want, and people will love it. The listed price does not include commercial pierogi machine. The machine adds much more income, as a production for retail sales. Cafe Poland sales frozen pierogies by a dozen, there is opportunity to sell them in local stores, the owner was inquired about it by a large store chain manager, but the owner wants to retire. Anko commercial machine makes 2.2K pierogies an hour (and don't look at Chinese machines). if interested, add 35K for the machine.

You can check on us on Google and Yelp. Just type Cafe Poland, Columbia, MO (5 stars). Best of Columbia 2018. Currently number 11 among 300 restaurants in Columbia. So, please, take an advantage of it.

Owner considers financing with $20k down payment and the rest paid monthly over 3 years, but the machine purchase is cash required.
