Motivated Seller: Turnkey Gelato and Tea Shop in West Houston

Own a turnkey gelato and tea shop for sale in West Houston, where a bright, playful dining room makes a strong first impression. Warm wood pendant lights, cushioned banquette seating, framed cat-themed artwork, and a white marble-look service counter give this space a fun, polished feel that guests remember. The 1,200 square foot shop seats 20 and sits in Blalock Market, a neighborhood shopping center at Blalock Road and Old Katy Road just off I-10. Offered by Restaurant Brokerage Solutions as an asset sale at $50,000, this is an affordable way into a fully built dessert shop.

The kitchen is set up for a wide dessert and drink menu from day one. Equipment includes a Carpigiani ice cream machine, a gelato display freezer, two shaved ice machines for bingsu, an ice cream waffle sandwich maker, a double crepe maker, a waffle maker, a cotton candy machine, an espresso machine, a milk tea machine, and blenders. Daily operations are supported by a 5 foot refrigerated make table, four reach-in coolers, two tall freezers, an ice machine, a steam table, stainless work tables, a 3-compartment sink, and a Square register.

The design gives this gelato shop for sale a personality of its own. Herringbone white tile behind the counter, two digital menu boards that update by USB, a window counter with barstools, and a cozy loveseat corner create a setting suited to after-school treats, family outings, date nights, and weekend dessert runs. The shop is open seven days a week with staff in place.

The lease runs through February 28, 2029, with assignment subject to landlord approval. Base rent is $4,400 per month through February 2027, then $4,500, plus CAM, insurance and taxes. The permitted use covers a specialty ice cream shop, including Korean bingsu, with specialty teas, coffee and latte drinks, and fresh fruit sparkling drinks.

Keep the CaTea & Gelato name and recipes, both included in the sale, or bring your own dessert, gelato, bingsu, or boba brand within the permitted use. A new owner could grow sales through delivery apps, birthday and party orders, catering for local offices and schools, seasonal menu specials, and social media marketing built around the shop's eye-catching interior.
