Description:

This Alchemy Café is a totally “Turnkey” business opportunity nestled in the heart of the historic gold rush town of Murphys, just 2.5 hours east of the Bay Area. This charming town is a premier tourist destination in the Calaveras wine region, drawing visitors year-round.

Originally opened 20 years ago, Alchemy Café has become a beloved establishment for both locals and tourists alike. The current owners have enjoyed a successful 7-year tenure with minimal daily involvement and are now ready to retire, offering a rare opportunity for a qualified new owner to take over. 

Centrally located in the middle of downtown on a prominent main street corner, with easy excitability, nice curb appeal and a welcoming large side and back patio, with seating up to 48.

The dining room is warm with natural light, has a push, sophisticated, cozy feeling.

Well-structured, pleasing for guests and easy to operate for the staff.

It seats up to 60 guests and it flows nicely into the restaurant’s bar area with an additional 26 seats. 

One of only two restaurants in the area capable of accommodating large groups while maintaining an intimate, charming atmosphere for smaller parties.

The café is known for its inviting decor, relaxed vibe, and excellent cuisine, making it a consistent favorite for all types of diners.

The restaurant’s kitchen is well-maintained, well-equipped. Plenty of storage, a large walk in, a walk-in freezer, large type 1 hood with Ansul system,1 dual convection oven, 6 burners range, 1 grill flat top, 2 baskets deep fryer, salad prep table, 2 doors stand up refrigerator and freeze ice machine, and many other equipment.  

Alchemy has a full, Type 47 liquor license, a rarity in Calaveras County.

The bar is cozy, the perfect spot to have dinner and watch a game. 6 handle draught beer system gives the opportunity to carry the favorite beers and rotate the local microbreweries. Being in the wine country, the wine list represents many of the wineries from the surrounding foothills.

Owners are absentee and only run the restaurant for limited hours. 

This is a unique chance to own a thriving business in a popular destination, with ample room for growth and creative vision. 

Opportunities for Growth:

While Alchemy Café is already a successful and well-established business, there is significant potential for a new owner to expand its offerings and grow revenue, including:

•Extend Operating Hours: Currently open for limited hours, extending service for breakfast, lunch, or late-night dining could attract more customers.

•Events & Private Functions: Capitalize on the venue's large seating capacity by hosting more private events such as weddings, corporate gatherings, and special celebrations.

•Catering & Delivery Services: Introducing catering and delivery could tap into new revenue streams from local businesses, events, and residents.

•Wine Region Synergy: Collaborate with local wineries to host wine-pairing dinners, tastings, and exclusive vineyard events to enhance the dining experience.

•Marketing & Online Presence: Amplify the restaurant's online and social media presence to attract more tourists and locals alike, showcasing its charm, menu, and event capabilities.

These growth strategies present an excellent opportunity for the right owner to take Alchemy Café to the next level in the thriving Murphys market.
