Cocomamas cafe expands in Elsternwick

Strong trading has prompted healthy food purveyors and café Cocomamas to expand into a nearby bigger space within its home suburb of Elsternwick.

It will move around the corner to an 80sqm space on busy Glen Huntly Road following a deal negotiated by Fitzroys agent Jordan Ceppi, following a high level of demand for the space from hospitality operators.

Ceppi negotiated the 4x4-year deal for 341 Glen Huntly Road at $55,000 per annum on behalf of a private investor.

“Cocomamas will move from their smaller premises of 20sqm that has served them well in their formative period, and their strong performance has prompted the operators to take the next step in its journey,” Ceppi said.

Ceppi said the precinct’s offering of national and well regarded local tenants and operators had benefited from numerous mixed use developments recently completed and in various stages of planning, bolstering the immediate residential catchment.

“Glen Huntly Road has developed an attractive lifestyle and hospitality offering, bringing people to the precinct across all hours,” he said.

“A large proportion of Melbourne’s rapid population growth is being accommodated in the inner- and middle-suburban retail strips, generating sustained local demand for hospitality and retail services in particular.”
