Coffee, Ice Cream & Bakery
Profitable Mochi Donut & Boba Shop | High Growth Potential
Business Description
Rare opportunity to acquire a profitable, fully operational mochi donut, Korean corndog, and boba café in the greater Sacramento area. This trendy dessert and snack concept has carved out a unique niche in its market with specialty offerings that face little direct competition nearby. Generating approximately $100,000 in annual cash flow while operating under absentee ownership, this business presents an attractive opportunity for both investors and owner-operators.
Established in 2024, the café has quickly built a loyal following among families, students, young professionals, commuters, and local residents. Known for its highly sought-after mochi donuts, Korean corndogs, handcrafted boba beverages, and specialty snacks, the business benefits from a unique menu that is difficult to find within the surrounding market. Unlike franchise concepts, the business offers complete flexibility to expand, customize, and innovate the menu based on customer demand and emerging trends.
Key Financial Highlights
- Annual Revenue: ~$300K
- Net Profit / Cash Flow: ~$100K
Operational Overview
The business operates from an approximately 1,848-square-foot location within a busy shopping center featuring excellent visibility, ample parking, and significant vehicle traffic. The area is surrounded by numerous apartment communities within walking distance, providing a steady stream of local customers. Additional growth is expected from nearby commercial developments, including new EV charging stations and the occupancy of a large neighboring retail vacancy.
Operations are streamlined and easy to manage with just 2-4 part-time employees. The current team is cross-trained to handle all aspects of daily operations, allowing the business to run smoothly with limited owner involvement. Daily responsibilities include light food preparation, beverage production, inventory management, customer service, and cleaning procedures. Administrative tasks such as ordering, vendor payments, and payroll are handled remotely, making this an ideal semi-absentee or owner-operated opportunity.
Reason for Sale
The current owner is selling due to commitments from a full-time career that limit the ability to dedicate additional time to the business.
Growth Opportunities
- Increase profitability through active owner-operator management
- Expand local marketing efforts and social media presence
- Introduce catering services for schools, businesses, and events
- Extend operating hours to capture additional evening traffic
- Market directly to nearby apartment communities and residents
- Utilize currently underused patio space to increase seating capacity
- Implement enhanced customer loyalty and review-generation programs
Ideal Buyer Profile
This opportunity is ideally suited for an entrepreneur, restaurateur, or family operator seeking a modern food concept with proven demand, simple operations, and significant upside potential. An owner who is actively involved in day-to-day operations could potentially improve margins, elevate customer experience, and accelerate growth while benefiting from an already established brand and loyal customer base.
