Coffee Shop & Café Supplies Buying Guide
KEVIDKO Buying Guides · Coffee Shops & Cafés
Your coffee deserves a cup that feels just as good.
A substantial cup. A lid that snaps into place. Comfortable handling. A presentation that feels like your café. KEVIDKO brings those details together with practical wholesale value—from insulated bamboo cups and coordinated hot-cup systems to barista milks, Monin and 1883 syrups, pastry packaging, and daily supplies.
Wholesale Coffee Shop Supplies from Los Angeles to Your Stores
KEVIDKO supplies cups, matching lids, barista milks, syrups, pastry packaging, and cleaning supplies for cafés and coffee carts. Our own fleet delivers across Southern California daily; partner carriers deliver nationwide, including to chain locations as far as New York.
Start with the 8 oz squat and shared 90mm hot-cup comparison, compare insulated bamboo and compostable options, or use the complete coffee shop supply checklist. For custom design, printing, manufacturing, storage, and delivery to multiple stores, request a café supply program. Product pages show current prices, pack sizes, and availability.
The Details Become Part of Your Brand
Customers Hold Your Packaging Before They Taste Your Coffee.
You choose your beans, train your baristas, and work on every recipe. The cup and lid should reflect that same care. A firm cup wall, comfortable grip, thoughtfully shaped drinking opening, and positive lid snap help make the handoff feel considered—not like an afterthought.
Feel the Difference
Our cup selection emphasizes strength and a substantial feel in the hand. Insulated formats add a barrier between the hot drink and the customer’s grip; single-wall formats let you choose a separate sleeve.
Know the Snap
The secure snap is a defining part of our lid selection. Properly matched lids are designed to seat firmly on the cup rim, helping reduce accidental separation and spills during normal handling.
Make the Last Impression Count
A comfortable sip and a well-presented takeaway drink carry your café experience beyond the counter. Those small details can reinforce the quality customers associate with your name.
Think Beyond the Price of an Empty Cup
The useful comparison is the complete served drink: cup, lid, sleeve where needed, handling, and presentation. A small unit-price difference deserves to be weighed against an awkward handoff, a remake, or a disappointed customer.
KEVIDKO’s approach is quality you can feel at a price that makes sense for everyday service. Build the kind of experience customers want to repeat—from the first handoff to the last sip.
For hot drinks, a secure lid helps reduce spill risk; no disposable cup or lid can guarantee against leaks or burns. Seat the lid around the entire rim, avoid overfilling, and handle hot beverages with care.
Start with Your Service Format
Independent Cafés
Build around your core drink sizes and menu. Choose the cups, lids, and packaging you use every day before adding specialty formats.
Compare Beverage Packaging →Coffee Carts & Kiosks
Plan for limited storage and counter space. Compare case quantities, consolidated lid formats, carriers, and replenishment needs.
Plan Your Order Quantities →Multi-Location Coffee Shops
Standardize specifications across stores and discuss custom printing, storage, and coordinated distribution.

8 oz Squat Hot Cups & a Shared 90mm Lid System
Small drinks do not have to mean a separate lid inventory. KEVIDKO’s selected 90mm hot-cup system starts with squat 8 oz cups and extends through 10, 12, 16, 20, and 24 oz formats. Build around a common lid fit while choosing the insulation, color, and material that suit your menu.
Less lid complexity. More presentation choices. Coordinate non-insulated white paper cups, matte white or black insulated cups, and Solex Sustain bamboo options within the system. Not every material or finish is listed in every size.
8 oz · Non-Insulated
Solex 8 oz Squat White Premium Paper Hot Cups (1,000/Case)
A squat white paper format that brings your smaller serving into the shared-lid program.
8 oz · Matte Black
Solex 8 oz Matte Black No-Sleeve Insulated Paper Hot Cups (500/Case)
An insulated no-sleeve option with a bold, coordinated café presentation.
8 oz · Bamboo
Solex Sustain 8 oz Squat Tree-Free No-Sleeve Insulated Compostable Bamboo Cup (500/Case)
Tree-free bamboo fiber and built-in insulation in the squat format.

The Signature Snap: Black or White
Choose a classic lid finish for the coordinated 90mm cup range. The firm snap-on fit is designed to make the lid feel securely seated—not loose on the rim.
Insulated or Non-Insulated?
Choose insulated cups for integrated handling comfort and fewer separate components at the counter. Choose non-insulated paper cups when a separate sleeve suits your operation. Compare the assembled serving cost, not just the empty cup.
What about standard 8 oz cups and smaller espresso sizes?
The shared-lid program above uses selected squat 8 oz formats; it does not mean every cup labeled “8 oz” has the same rim. The separate standard 8 oz option is Solex Premium 8 oz White Paper Hot Cups (1,000/Case), with Solex 80mm Black Snap-Fit Hot Cup Lids for 8 oz Paper Hot Cups (1,000/Case) for compatible 80mm cups. Smaller espresso and 6 oz formats also need their own compatibility check.
Some 90mm lid product titles still describe the 10–20 oz range. For the extended 8–24 oz program shown here, order the specified cup models and confirm the complete pairing with our team when establishing or changing your program.
Solex Sustain · More Than Conventional Paper
Wholesale Insulated Bamboo Coffee Cups & Compostable Lids
Solex Sustain bamboo cups combine tree-free bamboo fiber with no-sleeve insulation and a substantial feel. They give cafés a different material story and a distinctive presentation without giving up the practical details of everyday beverage service.
Online sizes: 4 oz, 6 oz squat, 8 oz squat, 10 oz squat, and 12 oz. All five listed bamboo formats come in cases of 500. The 8, 10, and 12 oz options join the shared-lid program above; check lids separately for the 4 and 6 oz cups.
Small-Format Bamboo Cups
Compare these formats for espresso drinks and smaller servings. Select size according to your finished recipe.
Core Café Bamboo Cups
Choose squat 8 oz and 10 oz formats or the 12 oz option for your menu.
Build a Compostable Cup-and-Lid Combination
A compostable cup does not make a conventional plastic lid compostable. Review both components when developing your packaging program. These listings provide additional hot-lid and cold-cup choices.
Compostable Hot-Cup Lid Options
Compare CPLA and molded fiber options for compatible 90mm hot cups. Confirm the exact cup-and-lid combination before ordering.
Compostable Clear Cold Cups & Lid
Compare PLA cold-cup formats and the compostable 98mm U-slot lid. Use these cups for cold beverages and confirm product-specific lid fit.
Looking for Eco-Friendly or Biodegradable Coffee Cups?
Start with the specific material and disposal route. The bamboo and PLA products above are listed as compostable; that does not mean they break down in every environment. Plan for an appropriate composting program that accepts the exact cup and lid, and ask us for product-specific documentation. Suitable facilities may not be available locally. Do not assume home compostability or breakdown in landfill.

A Functional Finishing Detail
Heart-Plug Lids: Give the Handoff Some Personality.
The heart-shaped detail is the plug that closes the sipping opening—not the entire lid. Choose matte pink for a contrasting accent or black for a coordinated look. Both options pair a sip-through design with the secure fit of a compatible 90mm cup.
Matte Pink · Heart Plug
Solex Matte Pink Sippy Lids with Heart Plug for 90mm Hot & Cold Cups (1,000/Case)
A distinctive accent for everyday drinks, seasonal menus, and café photography.
Black · Heart Plug
A coordinated finish for black cups or a crisp contrast against white and bamboo. The heart-shaped plug closes the drinking opening between sips.
The plug is not a leakproof travel seal. These are 90mm lids—not lids for the 98mm PET cold cups below.
The Lid Changes the Drinking Experience
98mm Strawless Lids: Dome with Tab, 98NSL & Flat with Tab
Start with two popular choices in our café lineup: the dome sippy lid with a tab and the 98NSL without a tab. Keep the flat-tab option in the comparison for a sleek, low-profile finish. All three are designed for a secure snap-on fit on compatible 98mm cups.
Dome Sippy · With Seal-Tab
Solex 98mm Dome Strawless Sippy Lids with Seal-Tab for 12–24 oz Clear PET Cups (1,000/Case)
Extra headroom above the rim gives ice and the top of the drink more space. The tab closes the sipping opening between sips. Choose it when room and a raised profile suit the beverage.
98NSL · No Tab
Solex 98NSL Strawless Sip Lids for 12–24 oz 98mm Plastic Cups (1,000/Case) (626NSL)
A ready-to-sip opening with no tab to open or reposition. A straightforward strawless option for customers who want immediate access to their iced drink.
Flat Sippy · With Seal-Tab
Solex 98mm Flat Strawless Sippy Lids with Seal-Tab for 12-24 oz Clear PET Cups (1,000/Case)
A sleek, lower-profile lid with a tab over the sipping opening. Choose it for a clean silhouette and a more compact finished presentation.
Ergonomics Are Part of the Product
Consider where the customer’s lips meet the lid, how they reach the drinking opening, and whether they prefer a tab or an always-accessible sip opening. The best choice works with your recipe, ice level, and service style—not just the appearance of an empty cup.
The dome leaves more room for ice to move during gentle handling; it is not a shaker lid. Mix beverages using appropriate preparation equipment before serving, and do not shake or invert a filled takeaway cup.
Strong, Clear Cups for the Drinks You Want Customers to See
Our clear PET cups emphasize a firm, substantial feel and clean drink presentation. Choose the familiar profile or a round-bottom alternative for your iced coffee, cold brew, or specialty menu.
Core 98mm Cold-Cup Sizes
The listed 12, 16, 20, and 24 oz PET cups share a 98mm rim specification for the compatible lid choices above.
Round-Bottom Presentation
Compare a different cup silhouette while retaining the 98mm rim format.
Need straw-slot, dome-hole, or no-hole lids instead?
Keep the lid opening matched to the drink and service method.
- Solex 98mm Flat Straw-Slot Lids for 12-24 oz Clear PET Cups (1,000/Case)
- Solex 98mm Regular 1" Round Hole Dome Lids for 12–24 oz Clear PET Cups (1,000/Case)
- Solex 98mm Wide Hole Dome Lids for 12–24 oz Clear PET Cups (1,000/Case)
- Solex 98mm No Hole Flat Lids for 12–24 oz Clear PET Cups (1,000/Case)
- Solex No Hole Dome Lids for 12-24 oz Clear Cups, 98mm (1,000/Case)
Do not let case counts surprise you. The listed 24 oz PET cups come in cases of 600, while these 98mm lid options come in cases of 1,000. Count cups and lids independently. PET and PLA are different materials: a conventional PET lid does not become compostable when used with a PLA cup.
Stock Syrups, Sauces, and Beverage Ingredients
Build a core flavor selection around your menu, then add seasonal options based on actual demand. Keep each recipe’s serving amount consistent when comparing bottles and planning replenishment.
Monin Syrups

Everyday staples. Signature possibilities.
Find the milk that belongs on your menu.
Keep the oat or almond milk your regulars ask for. Then give your next signature drink a starting point of its own: pistachio, macadamia, or maple walnut. Try each with your actual coffee or tea before putting it on the menu.
Pistachio · Táche
Táche Original Barista Pistachio Milk, 32 oz Carton (6/Case)
A different starting point for your next iced latte. Six 32 fl oz cartons per case.
Maple Walnut · Elmhurst
Elmhurst Barista Maple Walnut Milk, 32 oz Carton (6/Case)
A flavor direction to explore alongside your seasonal recipes. Six 32 fl oz cartons per case.
Macadamia · Milkadamia
Milkadamia Barista Macadamia Milk, 32 oz Carton (12/Case)
Another option beyond oat and almond. Twelve 32 fl oz cartons per case.
Oat
Coconut, condensed & evaporated milk for recipes
Choose the ingredient your recipe calls for. These concentrated and canned products are separate from the barista milks in the calculator.
Coconut & plant-based condensed
Check ingredient and allergen labels, taste the finished drink, and follow each carton’s storage instructions. Compare the milk cost of your shortlist below.

What does the milk add to each drink?
Choose up to three milks. Enter what you pay and how much your recipe uses—we’ll handle the case sizes.
Milk only; leave out the espresso, ice, and syrup.
The starting 5% is an example. Use your café’s experience.
Choose milks to compare.
What’s included in the estimate?
Prices were checked September 27, 2026. They are editable examples; use your own case price, including delivery or tax if you want those costs included.
We divide the case’s usable milk by the milk in one drink, then spread the case cost over those servings. Whole drinks are rounded down; the cost uses the full usable volume. This compares milk cost only. Flavor, ingredients, and performance still need a recipe test.
Make the handoff feel like your café
The little details leave with the customer.
A bamboo straw, a kraft pastry bag, a carrier that makes two coffees easy to hold. Choose a few details that work together, then stock the sizes your orders actually need.
Straws with a different look and feel
- Solex Pointed Bamboo · 9″ × 8mm
Wrapped; 3,200/case. A bamboo option for drinks that need a straw. - Greenprint Natural Agave · 8.25″ × 6mm
Wrapped; 2,000/case. A natural finish for a kraft-and-bamboo setup. - Greenprint Black Agave · 8.25″ × 6mm
Wrapped; 2,000/case. A darker finish for a contrasting presentation. - Solex Bamboo Boba · 9″ × 12mm
Wrapped; 1,600/case. The wider format to trial with pearls or larger inclusions.
Check the straw against your lid opening, drink depth, and any toppings.
Napkins & stirrers
- Solex Natural Kraft Beverage Napkins
9″ × 9″; 4,000/case. Keep the natural paper finish across the counter. - Solex Black 2-Ply Beverage Napkins
10″ × 10″; 1,000/case. A different finish and two-ply construction. - White Beverage Napkins
9″ × 9″; 4,000/case. A simple white option when that suits the café.
Finish the station with 7″ Bamboo Stirrers or 7.5″ Wooden Stirrers. Both are packed 5,000 per case.
Pastry packaging, from counter to display
- Everyday Natural Kraft Pastry Bag
6.5″ × 1″ × 8″; grease-resistant; 2,000/case. Start here for a simple bakery-counter handoff. - Kraft Window Cookie Bag
5″ × 1.5″ × 7″; 500/case. Keep cookies and small pastries visible. - Kraft Window Bakery Box
9″ × 9″ × 2.5″; 200/case. Use a box when the pastry needs space above it. - Natural Window Tin-Tie Bag
4.75″ × 2.5″ × 9.5″; 1,000/case. A fold-down closure for a different grab-and-go format.
Try the finished pastry, including toppings, in the packaging before settling on a size.
Carryout bags in three useful footprints
- Solex Compact Kraft Bag · 8″ × 5″ × 10″
250/case. Start with the smaller footprint for compact orders. - Solex Wider Kraft Bag · 10″ × 7″ × 12″
250/case. More base room for a boxed order. - Solex Square Kraft Bag · 10″ × 10″ × 10″
200/case. A wider base for packages that need it.
Measure the packed box and leave room to load it. For an adhesive-closure bag, send us the size or a photo so we can match the format.
Carriers for the size of the order
- Handled Kraft Carrier for Two Cups
250/case. A handle for the two-drink pickup. - Solex Handled Carrier for Four Cups
200/case. A handled format for a larger drink order. - Solex Heavy-Duty Four-Cup Carrier
300/case. Compare a tray-style carryout option.
Test with the actual filled cups before choosing the carrier.
Try one complete order before buying the set
Put a finished drink, pastry, napkin, and carrier together. Does the pastry stay upright? Can the bag close? Is there too much packaging for a one-cookie order?
For a natural look, start with a bamboo cup, natural agave straw where the drink needs one, kraft napkin, and kraft pastry bag. For a bolder look, compare matte black cups, black agave straws, and black napkins.
These are styling starting points; choose and test the sizes for your menu.
Keep the coffee bar ready for the next rush.
Put equipment cleaners, counter towels, and filters on the same supply list as your cups and milk.
Coffee Equipment Cleaners
Review distinct options for espresso equipment, milk systems, grinders, and coffee equipment.
Counter Towels
- Cotton Bar Mop Towels
100% cotton; 60/case. Choose these when you have a laundering routine. - Green Microfiber Towels
16″ × 16″; 12/pack. Keep a dedicated color for the assigned cleaning area.
Keep towels for the coffee bar separate from restroom cleaning supplies. Follow your equipment manual and cleaner label for the right product, dilution, rinsing, and cleaning schedule.
Finish with coffee filters, trash can liners, gloves, and paper towels and tissue.

Pick the next delivery you need to reach. Count what you expect to use before then, check the shelf and confirmed incoming orders, and buy the difference in full cases.
Keep the useful questions on your order sheet.

Allow extra where your own history shows you need it. A promotion, holiday, or late delivery can change the order more than an average week suggests.

Coffee Shop Supply Questions
What supplies can a coffee shop purchase from KEVIDKO?
Explore hot cups, clear PET cold cups, lids, sleeves, stirrers, straws, napkins, carriers, syrups, sauces, pastry packaging, equipment cleaners, and facility supplies in this guide. Each featured product links to its current listing for pricing, availability, and ordering details.
Will a lid fit any cup with the same ounce capacity?
No. Our selected 8 oz squat through 24 oz hot-cup system makes a shared 90mm lid program possible, but standard 8 oz cups and other cup families can use different rims. Use the specified models rather than ounce capacity alone.
Which bamboo coffee cup sizes are available online?
This guide links to Solex Sustain 4 oz, 6 oz squat, 8 oz squat, 10 oz squat, and 12 oz insulated bamboo cups. Compare all five sizes, or contact us about additional requirements beyond the online selection.
What is the difference between the dome sippy lid, 98NSL, and flat-tab lid?
The dome sippy lid has extra headroom and a seal-tab. The 98NSL has an accessible sipping opening without a tab. The flat-tab lid combines a low-profile shape with a seal-tab. Compare the three styles for compatible 98mm cups.
Which alternative milk brands do you carry?
Explore Minor Figures, Oatly, Chobani, Elmhurst, Califia, Pacific, Milkadamia, and Táche, plus coconut and plant-based condensed ingredients. See the linked milk selection for exact products and case packs.
Do you carry both Monin and 1883 syrups?
Yes. This guide links to current Monin and Routin 1883 syrup listings. See the dedicated flavor guide for more options, or ask about sourcing a flavor or sauce not shown online.
Can you supply custom printed packaging to multiple café locations?
KEVIDKO supports custom design, printing, manufacturing, storage, and delivery to store locations. Share your specifications and locations to discuss the program, minimum quantities, and schedule.
How do I qualify for free delivery?
Review the current free delivery thresholds and eligibility details for your location. Use the shipping and delivery page rather than assuming a single threshold applies to every destination.
