Description
The property occupies a ground‑floor retail unit within a traditional Bath stone building, with a glazed frontage providing direct pedestrian access from Upper Borough Walls. The premises is arranged over two levels, with customer accommodation at both ground and first floor.
The ground floor comprises the main coffee counter and service area with customer seating to the front. A staircase leads to a first‑floor seating area, providing additional covers and enabling separation between takeaway and sit‑in trade. The internal layout is well suited to café use and accommodates a mix of short‑stay and seated customers.
The premises includes an on‑site commercial kitchen, supporting the preparation of hot food in addition to drinks, cakes and pastries. Externally, pavement seating is positioned directly outside the unit (subject to Local Authority consent).
Overall seating capacity is approximately 25–35 covers internally, with additional external seating during favourable conditions. The configuration supports a full daytime café operation in a prominent city‑centre trading position.
Cascara Coffee Shop is located on Upper Borough Walls in the heart of Bath city centre, a highly visible position linking the city’s main retail streets with its principal cultural and leisure attractions. The shop benefits from strong pedestrian footfall generated by nearby draws such as the Roman Baths, Bath Abbey, Theatre Royal, Thermae Bath Spa and SouthGate shopping centre, all within a short walk. Bath Spa railway station, providing direct services to London, Bristol and the wider region, is approximately a 10‑minute walk away, while multiple city-centre bus routes operate close by, ensuring excellent public transport accessibility. As a UNESCO World Heritage City, Bath attracts millions of visitors each year alongside an affluent local, student and professional population, resulting in consistently high year‑round footfall with seasonal peaks, making this an exceptionally strong trading location for a coffee operator.

The OpportunityCascara Coffee Shop offers a strong opportunity for a new operator to take over an established café operation in Bath city centre. Located on Upper Borough Walls, the business trades in a high‑footfall pedestrian area serving a mix of local residents, office workers, students and year‑round visitors, providing a reliable daytime customer base.
The premises is fitted out for immediate café use, allowing an incoming operator to continue trading with minimal interruption or to rebrand and re-position the offer to suit their own concept (it currently trades as a Vegan outlet). The unit is well suited to independent operators, small regional brands or experienced first‑time buyers seeking a proven location within one of the UK’s most established café markets.
