Some restaurants just have a WOW factor when you walk into them, and A1 Cafe and The Tea House is one of those restaurants!

The design work in this space is impeccable, it is warm and welcoming while at the same time being contemporary and cool. I was incredibly impressed when I walked the space for the first time, and I am very proud to be representing a restaurant of this calibre. You could not build this space today for what it is being offered for sale at. The room can be converted to just about any concept that you could think of with very little cost and time.

The open kitchen concept is wonderful and there is a great bar for guests to sit and mingle at, there is a cool, fun lounge area and a very sexy patio. This is a great opportunity for a solid restauranteur or multi unit group to expand their operations. There is lots of walk by traffic and the surrounding residential area has some of the highest density in Calgary. The potential for lunch, dinner and then late night business is all there for an ambitious, energetic operator.

The lower level now called The Tea House is a funky, eclectic space reminiscent of some of those cool spaces you see in New York and other cities. It can be used as a speak easy, waiting area and could easily be booked out for private functions. 

There is also an AMAZING lower level kitchen that can also be used for catering or as a ghost kitchen to serve the delivery needs of the densely populated Beltline/Lower Mount Royal area.
