A rare chance to acquire the assets of a fully equipped café, coffee, and dessert shop located just steps from the waterfront and downtown core of Saugatuck, MI—one of America’s top-ranked small-town destinations. This thriving lakeshore community is nationally recognized for its art scene, boutique shopping, marinas, and vibrant summer tourism, attracting affluent visitors from Chicago, the Midwest, and beyond. Originally opened in 2021, the previous café quickly built a loyal following for its warm atmosphere and quality menu. After a change in ownership and a seasonal pause, the location is now positioned for a motivated owner-operator to step in and re-establish it as a premier gathering spot for locals and visitors alike. This turnkey operation comes complete with espresso/coffee stations, kitchen equipment, display cases, seating, and outdoor patio space - ideally located near downtown shops, marinas, and the waterfront. Highlights • Prime Location: Walkable to marinas, shops, galleries, and Lake Michigan attractions; ideal for capturing heavy seasonal and tourist foot traffic. • Turnkey Setup: Includes coffee/espresso stations, kitchen equipment, display cases, cold storage, and furnished dining and patio spaces. • Flexible Concept: Perfect for a specialty café, bakery/dessert shop, breakfast & lunch spot, or high-volume grab-and-go operation. • Affluent Market: Seasonal and tourist-driven clientele with strong discretionary spending. • Growth Potential: Extend beyond summer, enhance online/mobile ordering, refresh menu, and introduce special events for off-season revenue. This is an exceptional opportunity for an entrepreneur or experienced operator to step into a proven, ready-to-go café in a beautiful waterfront town - without the delays and costs of building from scratch.

Rent Types


The rent amount and type that the tenant (lessee) will be responsible to pay to the landlord (lessor) throughout the lease term is negotiated prior to both parties signing a lease agreement. The rent type will vary depending upon the services provided. For example, triple net rents are typically lower than full service rents due to additional expenses the tenant is required to pay in addition to the base rent. Contact the listing broker for a full understanding of any associated costs or additional expenses for each rent type.

1. Full Service: A rental rate that includes normal building standard services as provided by the landlord within a base year rental.

2. Double Net (NN): Tenant pays for only two of the building expenses; the landlord and tenant determine the specific expenses prior to signing the lease agreement.

3. Triple Net (NNN): A lease in which the tenant is responsible for all expenses associated with their proportional share of occupancy of the building.

4. Modified Gross: Modified Gross is a general type of lease rate where typically the tenant will be responsible for their proportional share of one or more of the expenses. The landlord will pay the remaining expenses. See the below list of common Modified Gross rental rate structures: 4. Plus All Utilities: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of utilities in addition to the rent. 4. Plus Cleaning: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of cleaning in addition to the rent. 4. Plus Electric: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of the electrical cost in addition to the rent. 4. Plus Electric & Cleaning: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of the electrical and cleaning cost in addition to the rent. 4. Plus Utilities and Char: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of the utilities and cleaning cost in addition to the rent. 4. Industrial Gross: A type of Modified Gross lease where the tenant pays one or more of the expenses in addition to the rent. The landlord and tenant determine these prior to signing the lease agreement.

5. Tenant Electric: The landlord pays for all services and the tenant is responsible for their usage of lights and electrical outlets in the space they occupy.

6. Negotiable or Upon Request: Used when the leasing contact does not provide the rent or service type.

7. TBD: To be determined; used for buildings for which no rent or service type is known, commonly utilized when the buildings are not yet built.
