Profitable, Well-Loved Dessert Cafe For Sale In Chesapeake

Chesapeake, Virginia, US
Asking Price:
$135,000 Furniture / Fixtures and Inventory / Stock included
Sales Revenue:
$250K - $500K
Cash Flow:
$50K - $100K

A beloved, well-established dessert café in the heart of Chesapeake — one of
Hampton Roads' busiest and fastest-growing retail corridors. Operating for nearly a decade with
a loyal, repeat customer base and an outstanding reputation, this is a rare turnkey opportunity to own a destination dessert brand with real roots in
the community.

The café is best known for its handcrafted French macarons — made fresh in-house —
alongside custom and whole cakes, pastries, bubble tea, organic teas, specialty coffee drinks,
snow cream, and ice cream. Two product lines, macarons and cakes, drive the majority of sales
and carry excellent margins. The current owners handle the specialty baking themselves and
will provide full training, including the signature macaron recipes, so an incoming owner can
step in with confidence — no prior baking experience required.

Located in an approximately 2,000 sq ft space within a well-anchored shopping center, the café
enjoys strong, steady foot traffic and excellent visibility. Several new shopping and residential
developments are underway within 2–3 miles, pointing to growing demand in the immediate
trade area. A secured long-term lease is in place, giving a new owner a stable, multi-year runway.

This is a genuine turnkey operation: an established brand, trained staff, proven recipes, loyal
customers, and a fully equipped kitchen and storefront. The current owners are selling only
because they are retiring.

Location:

Situated in the heart of Greenbrier — Chesapeake's primary retail and commercial hub — on Volvo Parkway within The Shoppes at Greenbrier. This is one of Hampton Roads' busiest and most established shopping districts, anchored by Greenbrier Mall (120+ stores, including Macy's, Dillard's, and JCPenney) and surrounded by major power centers: Greenbrier MarketCenter (Target, Harris Teeter, Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, Hobby Lobby), Greenbrier South (Food Lion), and the upscale Towne Place at Greenbrier. The corridor generates steady daytime, evening, and weekend traffic from shoppers, nearby offices, and diners.

Premises Details:

Just off Volvo Parkway toward Battlefield Boulevard lie well-established, densely populated residential neighborhoods, giving the café the best of both worlds: destination retail traffic and a loyal, close-to-home customer base. The site offers strong visibility, ample parking, and quick access to Interstate 64 — placing it within minutes of Virginia Beach and Norfolk and serving the wider City of Chesapeake population of roughly 250,000. With ongoing residential and commercial development across the surrounding trade area, nearby rooftops and foot traffic are positioned to keep growing.

Size in square feet:
2,000
Planning Consent:

The café occupies a premium corner unit within the shopping center, offering standout street visibility and natural drive-by exposure. An inviting outdoor seating area lets guests enjoy their desserts in the sun and welcomes their pets — a warm, community-friendly touch that keeps regulars coming back and sets the café apart as a relaxing neighborhood destination.

Business Operation

Management type:
This business is owner operated.
Expansion Potential:

Room to grow on-site: the adjacent unit has just become available, offering the opportunity to expand from ~2,000 to ~3,000 sq ft (subject to landlord approval) — space for more seating, expanded production, or new offerings."

Competition / Market:

A new bakery is opening nearby, but it centers on sandwiches and bread with just a few desserts. Desserts remain wide open here — a prime market — so staying focused solely on desserts keeps this café THE best dessert destination in the area.
