FAQs

How much does it cost to buy a coffee shop in California?

Prices vary depending on the size of the business listed, but the median asking price for an established coffee shop business in California is $244,500.

How much do coffee shop business owners earn?

California coffee shop and cafe owners report median annual sales of $420,000 and annual owner earnings of $100,000. These figures are based on businesses that have listed their annual revenue and seller's discretionary earnings.

How do I value a coffee shop business?

Valuing a coffee shop or café involves considering several factors, including annual sales, profit, growth (or decline) trends, and demographic trends of the local market.
