Restaurant for sale
Seaside eatery for owner-operators on Jameson Street, Laaiplek — bustling harbour-side trade, covered picnic-style outdoor seating, fitted kitchen and equipment, approximately 200m² ready to operate.
Only the business, not the property. Live Auction
Bear Cave Comfort Food Takeaways is a fitted food business opportunity in the heart of Laaiplek, Velddrif, positioned in Jameson Street between Laaiplek Hotel / Ou Bar and Amawandle Pelagic Fish. This is a practical spot for everyday trade, with visibility to local workers, regular customers and visitors moving through the harbour area.
The business is set up for take-away and casual sit-down service, with an indoor serving area, display counters, cold drink fridges, preparation space, shelving and a separate kitchen/work area. The layout is simple and workable, giving a new owner the space to serve customers efficiently while keeping the back-of-house area separate from the front counter.
The premises offer approximately 200m2 of floor space on a 600m2 commercial sectional-title site. All appliances and equipment are included in the sale, making this a ready base for an owner-operator or food entrepreneur who wants to continue from an existing setup.
A standout feature is the relaxed outdoor seating area, with covered sections and picnic-style tables that suit Laaiplek’s easy West Coast feel. Customers can enjoy a quick meal, collect take-aways or sit down in a casual courtyard setting.
This is a straightforward opportunity for someone who understands food, service and local trade. With the right energy, consistency and personal attention, Bear Cave offers room to build on its current presence in a well-known coastal location.
