Café Sia is situated in the village of Broadford, the second largest settlement on the Isle of Skye which sits in the shadow of the Red Cuillin Mountains and is spread along the southern side of Broadford Bay.

Café Sia benefits from an enviable trading location in Broadford on the main A87 routing just 10 minutes or so after crossing the famous Skye Bridge on to this famous Isle. This is the first significant stop-off visitors come to after crossing the Skye Bridge making the cafe an ideal trading location to attract passing custom as well as the village being a convenient base for visitors to stay on the beautiful Isle of Skye.

Around 650,000 visitors a year arrive mainly by road but there is also a small ferry that operates from Glenelg to Skye from April to October. The capital of Skye, Portree is reachable within a 40 minute drive from Broadford.

Our clients took on this property in 2014 and have transformed both the property and the business and created this wonderful café, bistro and takeaway. The business trades all year round but is especially busy between April-October and exceptionally busy between June-September where visitors from all over the world come to the area specifically, or as part of a wider tour.

Café Sia averages around 60,000 customers per annum and has had significant investment over the last 10 years by way of internal/external upgrade, new seating, updated kitchen and the extension to the property which trades as Siaway, a takeaway element to allow for a quicker service for those not looking to dine in.

The business is predominantly run under management with c.15 staff employed during the busier months of the year.

Café Sia is available on a leasehold basis but the owner may consider a freehold sale of the property and also has a separate residential property that could be available under separate negotiation. Café Sia will require to be re-branded due to other businesses operated by the owner under this brand.

The premises benefit from a Premises Licence under the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005.
