A Zacuto Group “For Sale” sign is posted above the storefront of one of West Hollywood’s most beloved coffee shops, and readers want to know what it means. The listing went up February 11. Brokers Matthew Luchs and John Lally are handling the sale.
Co-owner Tony Yuan told WEHOonline the business is not going anywhere. The building sale doesn’t touch Farm Cup’s lease.
“This does not alter our existing lease, as the new property owner will have to abide by the existing lease terms,” Yuan said. “We will be staying in the space for the foreseeable future.”
The property at 7748 Santa Monica Blvd. is listed at $1.9 million. It’s a 2,247-square-foot mixed-use building that includes the Farm Cup retail space, a creative office and patio area, and a detached two-bedroom apartment at the rear. The listing describes Farm Cup’s lease as a triple-net agreement with approximately six years remaining. Whoever buys the building inherits the tenant.
A staff member at the location confirmed Wednesday the business is not for sale. “It’s just the building,” she said. The shop had been fielding the same question from customers since the sign went up.
This happened last year too — but it was different
In March 2025, Farm Cup put itself up for sale. Not the building — the business. Yuan and co-owner Emerson Haro listed the 1964 Citroën HY van they call Sunny, and the lease, for $100,000. They wanted more space and a kitchen. No viable offers came in.
By June they’d pulled the listing. The landlord stepped in with an alternative — lease out the rear of the property, which had been used as a podcast studio, and let Farm Cup expand into it instead.
This time the landlord is the one selling. Yuan said the two situations are not the same.
The expansion into the back space did come with a significant rent increase, Yuan said, and he acknowledged it’s possible they could return to occupying only the front space if the numbers don’t support both.
About Farm Cup
Farm Cup Coffee opened at the Santa Monica Boulevard location in spring 2021. The shop is built around a bright yellow 1964 Citroën HY van parked inside the storefront. Yuan and Haro were inspired by a mobile coffee cart they spotted on a trip to the Mayan Riviera in 2017. They imported the van from the United Kingdom. The shop focuses on organic, single-origin coffee sourced directly from farms and is LGBTQ- and minority-owned. A second location operates at Century City. The WeHo shop is open daily, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
