In the bustling realm of coffee culture, a unique brand identity can set a coffee shop apart from the rest.
One powerful tool in achieving this distinction is through custom merchandise.
From branded mugs that warm the hands and hearts of loyal customers to stylish apparel that showcases your café’s personality, the possibilities of custom coffee shop merch are endless.
Here’s how to find the best merch to fit your cafe’s needs.
Dress to Impress: Coffee Shop Apparel
From cozy hoodies and trendy T-shirts to stylish aprons, apparel not only serves as walking advertisements for your coffee shop but also fosters a sense of belonging among staff and customers alike.
Whether it’s baristas proudly sporting branded uniforms or customers donning your T-shirts as a badge of loyalty, custom apparel enhances your shop’s visibility and reinforces its identity within the community.
Here are some top picks:
- Short sleeve and long sleeve T-shirts: Add your logo, branding or custom design to a variety of shirt styles and colors.
- Outerwear: hoodies and sweatshirts make great merch for coffee shops, especially if you’re located in a cooler climate.
- Hats and caps: Whatever your brand’s style is, there’s a good hat to match it. From beanies to baseball caps, add your branding and make the design uniquely yours.
- Aprons: Don’t forget your baristas! Embellish aprons with your brand’s colors and logo. Matching barista aprons also gives you a chance to coordinate barista uniforms while still allowing them to pick their other clothing and can be customized with pins.
Reusable Drinkware
Embrace sustainability in style with custom reusable drinkware for coffee or tea.
These eco-friendly offerings not only reduce waste but also elevate your coffee shop’s branding.
From sleek stainless-steel tumblers to chic glassware, these reusable options offer more than just a vessel for your signature brew—they’re a statement of your commitment to both quality and environmental responsibility.
Here’s what we recommend:
- Ceramic Coffee Mugs: When it comes to coffee shop merch, you can’t go wrong with a simple ceramic mug.
- Reusable Tumbler: For your customers on the go, don’t forget to add custom tumblers to your merch offerings.
- Bamboo Glass Cups: Don’t forget to offer an option for iced drinks. This trendy cup is a perfect fit, with a bamboo lid and glass straw.
Accessories
Custom branded accessories are a perfect addition to your merchandise collection.
From fashionable tote bags to quirky keychains, pins and patches, these small but impactful items are the perfect way for customers to showcase their love for coffee wherever they go.
Here are a few favorites:
- Tote Bags: If you’re looking for branded accessories, tote bags are an easy choice. Your customers will be carrying a piece of your brand everywhere they go.
- Key Chains: Custom keychains are more than just practical accessories; they’re miniature billboards for your coffee shop brand. Bonus points if the keychain has multiple uses—like opening beverages.
- Pins, Patches and Stickers: If you’re looking to have little trinkets that show off your brand, you can’t go wrong with pins, patches or stickers. Customers will add these to their bags, water bottles and more.
Home Goods
From decorative coasters to aromatic candles inspired by your coffee shop’s signature blends, these home goods are more than just accessories—they’re essential elements in creating a relaxing and inviting atmosphere.
Bonus points if you display the items around the shop and offer them for customers to buy as well. For example, invest in custom branded candles that you regularly burn in the shop or coasters that you have on the counter.
Here are a few ideas:
- Candles: Do you want a signature scent in your coffee shop? Alongside the smell of fresh brewed coffee, you could have a signature candle burning. If customers like the smell, they’re able to purchase one of their own.
- Coasters: Looking for another drink-related accessory? Make your own custom coasters with your branding.
