Fenland Council has agreed plans to change the use of the building on Wisbech Market Place.
An officer's report said the Grade II listed property occupied a "prominent" spot within the street.
It added: "The building as it stands currently portrays a negative image of vacancy and lack of maintenance."
The official said issues with the building included decaying timber fascia boards, blocked gutters, peeling render and windows in need of repair.
Planning papers said the café will be open from 7am to 7pm from Monday to Saturday, 7am to 6pm on Sundays and bank holidays and will employ three full-time and two part-time staff.
It will serve English breakfast, light meals and café style refreshments, and will primarily cater to locals and visitors.
Wisbech Town Council and the Wisbech Society both supported the plans.
The change of use was agreed on condition work begins within three years.
