Own a cornerstone property in the heart of Tappahannock with this prime mixed-use offering located directly on the high-visibility corridor of US-17/360, South Church Street. This sale includes both the real estate and the established business value of the To Do Café, a beloved dining destination with strong community recognition, as well as a separate two-bay auto shop building that adds income and operational flexibility.
The property totals approximately 0.53 acres with valuable frontage along US-17/360, the region’s main north-south artery and a designated corridor of statewide significance by the Virginia Department of Transportation. This location ensures maximum visibility to steady traffic flows of local residents, commuters, and regional travelers headed to Richmond, Fredericksburg, and the Chesapeake Bay. Adjacent neighbors include the Tappahannock-Warsaw Moose Lodge, Hoskins Creek Public Boat Ramp, and Southside Motel & Marina further reinforcing activity in the immediate area.
The To Do Café occupies a 3,310 square foot free-standing restaurant building designed for efficient food service and customer experience. The interior provides 2,823 square feet of dining and service space, complemented by a 487 square foot enclosed and conditioned patio that expands seating capacity. Furniture, fixtures, and equipment convey with the sale, creating a turnkey opportunity for an owner-operator to continue operations without interruption, or for an investor to reposition the concept while leveraging the café’s goodwill and reputation. The space has been carefully maintained to balance high-volume functionality with a comfortable sit-down atmosphere, making it adaptable to a range of food service uses.
At the rear of the property is a 1,536 square foot free-standing two-bay industrial auto shop. Currently occupied on a month-to-month basis, the tenant has expressed willingness to either formalize a lease or vacate depending on purchaser preference. This flexibility allows a buyer to preserve rental income, expand restaurant operations, or reconfigure the structure for alternative commercial use. The combination of a performing restaurant and supplemental income from the auto shop provides multiple revenue streams and future adaptability—rare attributes for a property of this size in the Tappahannock market.
The zoning framework further enhances the offering, supporting continued use as a restaurant and service facility while also allowing for a range of alternative commercial uses. Combined with ample on-site parking and convenient ingress and egress, the property offers practical functionality for customers, tenants, and operators alike.
Beyond the tangible improvements and location advantages, the property carries significant intangible value. The To Do Café is well established in the community as both a restaurant and a gathering place, reinforcing customer loyalty and long-term stability. This reputation, combined with the auto shop’s tenant flexibility, makes the asset a cohesive, market-ready investment.
In the broader economic context, Tappahannock continues to serve as a commercial hub for the Northern Neck and a growing destination for visitors exploring Virginia’s river country.
