The subject premises occupy an outstanding and highly visible corner trading position among numerous other complementary independent operators, including major High Street names, in the busy heart of the vibrant and historic riverside market and county town of Carmarthen, which lies with excellent access to major tourist routes (A40, A48, A484 and A485) in Carmarthenshire.

We are delighted to present this fantastic opportunity to acquire a thriving commercial proposition of uncommon quality and outstanding future possibilities, which we are confident you will agree represents genuine value.

This very well established and “TripAdvisor” highly rated eatery currently primarily offers a full and varied, daytime-only menu of classic coffee shop and restaurant favourites for the whole family.

The menu includes hearty full Welsh breakfasts, brunches, light and full lunches, hot and cold snacks, sandwiches, panini, baguettes, salads, homemade soups, regularly changing “blackboard specials”, indulgent pastries and desserts and an excellent choice of beverages, including speciality coffees, teas, hot chocolate and milkshakes, with vegetarian and gluten and dairy free options always available.

All food is prepared freshly to order in its extensively equipped commercial catering facilities employing the finest and freshest, locally sourced produce and served in the very pleasant surroundings of charming, welcoming and attractively furnished ground and first-floor dining areas which combine to accommodate up to eighty covers in style and comfort, with additional external covers also available on a charming forecourt patio terrace.

“Time Coffee Bar” also provides a popular takeaway service and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with truly vast scope for continued growth, not least with regard to the possible provision of local delivery services and to operating hugely extended hours in order to fully exploit year-round local and passing trade demand.

The business would also benefit greatly by adopting a far more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing facilities and services, particularly with reference to the possible introduction of online advertising and ordering and to further development of its social media presence, in order to improve upon the already impressive levels of turnover it has achieved since being established in its present form some eighteen highly successful years ago by the current proprietor, with the aid of an experienced and motivated team of six full-time staff who would be an asset to any purchaser.
Alternatively, this versatile proposition would most certainly appeal to someone simply seeking the ideal premises in which to embark upon any number of other potentially lucrative catering ventures requiring that super combination of extensive and adaptable customer service space, coupled with a commercially highly desirable location, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.
