Milk and dairy products have been a staple for coffee shops and restaurants who serve caffeinated drinks for years. However, non-dairy and alternative milk substitutes are an increasingly popular beverage supply. The rise in veganism, ovo-vegetarianism, allergies, and lactose intolerance are just a few of the reasons why your restaurant or coffee shop should consider carrying vegan milk alternatives. Soy milk is a popular and well-known option, but there are so many other types of vegan and non-dairy milk alternatives available through beverage distributors.

Accommodate customers with allergies

When determining what kind of vegan milk to include when restocking cafe supplies, you should take food allergies into consideration. The most common food allergens include cow’s milk, tree nuts, and soy. You might want to carry a milk that does not include any common allergens or more than one type of non-dairy milk in order to appeal to the widest customer base possible.

The perfect mix of coffee, chocolate, and mint, this classic drink pops up every year around the holidays.

For lactose-intolerant coffee lovers, try “barista-style” nondairy milk to get the perfect amount of foam. Finish off your creation with a peppermint stick or candy cane and a dollop of whipped coconut cream for richness....

Having a hot cup of coffee and a sweet treat for breakfast is a time-honored tradition across the world, including the Netherlands. In fact, in 1810, stroopwafels were first created there by a baker named Gerard Kamphuisen who wanted to make use of some leftover baking ingredients that he had. His creation was a big hit, and soon, word spread of the delicious little snacks. Luckily, you don't have to travel all the way to Holland to find a good stroopwafel anymore though. Here at Waterfall Gourmet Beverages, we always have a fresh supply of them in stock for our customers. Here are a few reasons why you should make stroopwafels part of your next coffee shop supply order.

The Perfect Size

Stroopwafels are intentionally made to be just slightly bigger than the surface of the average coffee cup. The reason for this is that it is customary to set the treat on top of the cup for a minute or two before eating it. That way, the steam from the hot beverage gently warms and softens it up....

There's no denying that the art of producing excellent coffee has gained a renewed appreciation in the past 20 years. A large swath of the general public is taking gourmet coffee more seriously than ever nowadays. If you want to capitalize on this trend by starting your own coffee shop, there are some crucial coffee supplies that you'll need to buy. Here's a brief checklist to guide your coffee equipment purchasing decisions.

A World-Class Bean Grinder

If you want to make truly transcendent coffee, a topnotch grinder is one piece of barista equipment that can't be overlooked. For the best results, having both a blade grinder and a burr grinder on hand is recommended. Blade grinders are generally used to prepare grounds for traditional drip-brewed coffee. Burr grinders, on the other hand, are required equipment if you want to make high-quality espresso.

Restaurants today understand the importance of offering specialty beverages. Gourmet beverages can attract more customers and increase your profits. In response to customer preferences, restaurants are offering an increasing variety of specialty drinks, including smoothies, chai, gourmet coffee, fine teas, and more.

Running a successful tea shop takes a lot of work. Not only do you strive to provide superior products and service, but it is important to keep the operating costs low. One solid strategy is to hire a tea distributor to buy your tea shop items wholesale. With a tea or beverage distributor, you can reduce the costs of buying your teas and will face less of a hassle with the ordering process.

What Is Wholesale?

Wholesale works by providing you, the business, with a bulk number of products. For instance, if your tea shop needs a supply of fresh Chai tea, a beverage distributor will be able to negotiate and sell your tea shop a bulk item amount of Chai tea. With a contract, your store will consistently receive the necessary amounts of Chai tea within a set amount of time at a specific rate.

The Benefits of Beverage Distributors

When buying wholesale, the distributor is typically selling products at a lower cost to you than if you had to buy Chai tea every time your inventory ran low. For example, a tea distributor may sell...
