Leo's Cafe

Turn a Proven Sourdough Menu into a Café Business of Your Own

Build your own Leo’s Cafe around handcrafted sourdough recipes and processes that have already been developed and perfected. With a menu designed to make smart use of ingredients and comprehensive baking training provided, franchisees can benefit from the groundwork already completed when launching their location.

Leo’s Cafe is a sourdough café specialising in freshly baked sourdough bagels and bun sandwiches, with gourmet hotdogs coming soon. The existing location also serves sourdough pizza during the summer.

A Sourdough Concept with an Established Following

Leo’s Cafe has been operating for two years and has developed very good reviews, with customers responding particularly well to its sourdough.

The concept combines real sourdough with an old-world, cosy atmosphere, generous portions and Mexican coffee, including new coffee features each month.

The menu has also been developed with operating costs in mind. Ingredients are reused across menu items wherever possible, helping to avoid unnecessary complexity and expense.

The Recipes and Processes Are Already Developed

One of the major advantages for a new franchisee is that the legwork behind the concept has already been completed.

The sourdough recipes and baking processes have been perfected, giving franchisees an established foundation rather than requiring them to develop a menu and production methods from scratch.

Leo’s Cafe also aims to meet growing customer interest in supporting local businesses and seeking healthier alternatives.

Hands-On Baking Training

Franchisees will receive complete training at the existing Leo’s Cafe location, with training continuing for as long as necessary.

This includes the baking knowledge required to reproduce the concept, where everything is freshly baked every day.

What Does a Typical Day Look Like?

The franchisee’s day will depend on whether they choose to be a hands-on owner or take a less operational role.

For a hands-on operator, baking is a significant part of the working day, with products freshly baked daily. The opportunity could therefore particularly appeal to someone who enjoys both the craft of baking and interacting with customers.

Who Is Leo’s Cafe Looking For?

Strong franchise partners should be hardworking, personable and friendly with customers, while also demonstrating patience when managing and working with staff.

Leo’s Cafe has also received an Award of Excellence from Restaurant Guru.

Bring Leo’s Cafe to a New Community

For entrepreneurs looking to build a café around established sourdough recipes, freshly baked products and a distinctive, cosy customer experience, Leo’s Cafe provides a concept with the recipes, processes and training already in place.
