An Elgin High Street retail unit which once operated as a spiritual cafe has hit the market for let.

According to the Scottish Assessors, Dunaskin Properties Limited owns the 55 High Street building.

It has been a cafe and a bistro in the past.

Now FB Burnett is advertising the town centre property for let on behalf of the owners.

They are looking for an annual rent in the region of £12,000 plus VAT.

According to the advertisement, the property is fully fitted out as a cafe with seating area to the front.

It also has a kitchen, staff facilities and two toilets to the rear of the property.

It is understood the spiritual cafe closed at the end of last year.

This left the High Street unit empty.

Last month, we revealed  Moray Council will carry out major repairs on an Elgin High Street building in a bid to attract a new business to the town centre.

This three-storey C-listed building at 239 Elgin High Street is held in the Elgin Common Good.

The ground level unit was most recently let out as a cafe with residential accommodation on the upper floors.

In April, we revealed the local authority wanted to carry out repairs to the vacant Elgin commercial property.

Now the council has been given listed building consent to carry out repairs including new roof lights, secondary glazing to current windows and loft insulation.

Meanwhile, repairs will be made to stonework and roof coverings on a like-for-like basis.

Finally one chimney stack will be dismantled and rebuilt with new stone.

A council spokeswoman said once the work is completed, they intend to put the property on the market to lease.

Elgin’s first-ever vegan eatery Cafe Kombucha was the most recent tenant for this unit.

Sarah Borthwick ran the cafe on Elgin High Street for four years.

It impressed locals from the get-go with its fresh, seasonal, and vibrant vegan offering.

In July 2022, she announced she would closing before the October “price hike”.

At the time she also thanked everyone for their support.

She said: “So many small businesses have been struggling – and being a sole trader with the overheads and different jobs I had it was bloody hard but enjoyable and manageable.

“But the second price hike that’s coming in October renders my wee vegan cafe plans untenable I’m afraid.

“You have all been totally amazing, supportive and I am so so sorry this has happened.”
