Popular Edinburgh cafe in former bank looking for new owners

A popular Edinburgh cafe is looking for new owners after being listed on the market.

Situated in the Marchmont neighbourhood on Marchmont Road, Birchwood has built a loyal following owing to its fantastic brunches, coffees and homemade bakes.

The attractive licensed food and drink spot, which is located at the site of a former bank, is being marketed on a leasehold basis and prospective new owners will benefit from a 'strong community spirit with a high student population the business benefits', according to the property listing.

Rightbiz say: "An amazing opportunity to acquire a long-established cafe/restaurant (first established in 2006) in one of Edinburgh's most popular and leafy residential suburbs close to the Meadows (recreational park) with strong footfall, good visibility and outside seating.

"The business enjoys a east facing aspect and occupies ground floor of a former bank building (Marchmont Branch) with a full premises licence 7 days a week until 11pm. With over 600 sq ft space in all there is room for 35 covers sit-in with further table licence outside for 8 or more.

"With an art deco exterior and contemporary interior the business has traded as Birchwood for the past seven years (previously Toast and Cafe Politik).

"Currently only open day time 9am - 4pm there is significant scope to extend those hours to make fuller use of the Premises Licence."

This is definitely a great opportunity for someone to take on a booming business, which is available for offers over £65,000.
