Description
The property is within a traditional Bath stone building, with a glazed frontage providing direct pedestrian access from Upper Borough Walls.
The lower ground floor is home to customer seating and the kitchen/prep area with the service counter customer seating on the ground floor and then mores seating on the first floor.
The internal layout is well suited to café use and can accommodate 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.
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 site 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 Bath offers an excellent opportunity to acquire an established café business in a prime Bath city centre location. Situated on Upper Borough Walls, the venue benefits from strong pedestrian footfall from residents, office workers, students and visitors alike.
Currently operating as a vegan café, the business provides scope for a new owner to broaden its appeal with a more mainstream food and beverage offering, attracting a wider customer base. The premises is fully fitted for immediate trading and can be continued in its current format or rebranded to suit an alternative concept.
The recent grant of a full-day alcohol licence further enhances the opportunity, creating potential to extend trading into the evening through a café-bar, wine bar, casual dining or small plates proposition. Ideal for independent operators, regional brands or first-time buyers seeking a flexible and well-positioned hospitality venue in one of the UK's strongest leisure destinations.
