Coffee Shop Supplies & Equipment Solutions

Running a successful cafe requires reliable access to quality supplies and equipment at prices that protect your margins. At Kaldi, we've been supplying coffee shops since 1995 with fresh-roasted beans, commercial equipment, syrups, cleaning products, and the essentials that keep your operation running smoothly and profitably.

Why Choose Kaldi as Your Supplier?

Simplified Vendor Management

Consolidate your purchasing with one trusted supplier instead of managing multiple vendor accounts. We provide coffee, equipment, syrups, and maintenance supplies all in one place. This simplifies ordering, reduces shipping costs, and gives you a single point of contact.

Fresh-Roasted Coffee Excellence

Our specialty is fresh-roasted coffee beans. We roast to order and ship within 24 hours, ensuring you receive beans at peak flavor. This freshness sets you apart from competitors using pre-roasted, warehoused coffee and becomes a key differentiator for your business.

Wholesale Pricing Without Minimums

Independent cafes get the same competitive wholesale rates as larger operations. We believe quality supplies should be accessible to businesses of all sizes, so we maintain no punitive minimum order requirements.

Expert Operational Support

Our team has helped hundreds of cafes launch and grow. We provide guidance on equipment selection, menu development, brewing parameters, and operational efficiency—helping you make decisions that strengthen your bottom line.

Core Supplies for Your Cafe

Fresh-Roasted Coffee Beans

Premium single origins, signature blends, organic options, and flavored varieties—all roasted to order. Choose from light, medium, dark, or extra dark roasts. We can also develop custom blends and roast profiles specific to your cafe's brand and customer preferences.

Premium Syrups & Flavorings

Complete Torani line including classic flavors (vanilla, caramel, hazelnut), seasonal specialties, sugar-free options, and sauces for mochas and specialty drinks. Available in 750ml bottles for variety or cost-effective gallon sizes for your most popular flavors. Flavored drinks command higher prices and strong margins.

Alternative Beverages

Chai for customers who want alternatives to coffee. Diversifying your beverage menu increases average ticket size and captures customers who might otherwise go elsewhere.

Cleaning & Maintenance Products

Specialized products for commercial coffee equipment including espresso machine cleaning tablets and backflush detergent, grinder cleaning tablets, descaling solutions for brewers and espresso machines, milk system cleaners, and food-safe sanitizers. Proper maintenance extends equipment life and ensures consistent quality.

Brewing Accessories & Filters

Paper filters for all commercial brewer sizes, permanent gold-tone filters, pour-over equipment, replacement parts for common brewing systems, and precision measuring tools for consistent portioning.

Bakery & Food Service Items

If you serve pastries or food: bakery bags and boxes, deli paper, sandwich wrap, food-safe gloves, tongs, serving utensils, and display case accessories.

Commercial Equipment Solutions

Espresso Machines

Super-automatic and semi-automatic models for various volume levels. Super-automatics grind, tamp, extract, and steam automatically—perfect for consistency and speed during peak hours. Semi-automatics give skilled baristas control while automating temperature and pressure. Both purchase and leasing options available.

Commercial Grinders

Precision burr grinders designed for commercial use, from countertop to floor models. Consistent grind size is critical for quality extraction. We recommend separate grinders for espresso and drip coffee to optimize performance and prevent flavor cross-contamination.

Brewing Systems

Commercial drip coffee makers, airpot systems, and satellite brewers for high-volume operations. Choose from traditional glass carafe systems or thermal airpots that maintain temperature for hours without hot plates, preserving flavor.

Equipment Leasing Programs

Flexible leasing helps you get professional-grade equipment without large upfront costs. Preserve working capital for inventory and marketing while enjoying commercial equipment from day one. Quick approval, competitive rates, and tax-deductible monthly payments.

Startup Cafe Support

Opening your first coffee shop? We specialize in helping new businesses launch successfully:

Equipment Consultation: We'll help you select the right espresso machine, grinder, and brewer based on your concept, projected volume, space constraints, and budget.

Supply Planning: Estimate your initial inventory needs for coffee, syrups, and supplies based on realistic volume projections, preventing both shortages and excess spending.

Menu Development: Recommendations for profitable drink offerings, seasonal specials, and beverage pairings that drive revenue.

Training Resources: Access to barista training materials, brewing guides, and extraction troubleshooting to help your team deliver consistent quality.

Startup Packages: Curated bundles that include espresso machine (purchase or lease), grinder, brewer, initial coffee inventory, syrups, cleaning products, and training materials—everything you need to open your doors.

Private Label Coffee Program

Build your brand with custom-labeled coffee featuring your cafe's name and logo. We handle sourcing, roasting, packaging, and quality control while you focus on selling. This creates additional revenue streams and strengthens customer loyalty when they can purchase your signature blend to enjoy at home.

We'll work with you on blend development, roast profiles, and packaging design to create a unique product that represents your brand.

Inventory Management & Reordering

Once operational, we make supply management simple. Many customers set up standing orders for coffee beans and frequently used items, ensuring they never run out during critical business hours.

We can help you track usage patterns and adjust quantities as your business grows, optimizing inventory levels to balance availability with cash flow. Automated delivery schedules eliminate the need to remember to reorder.

Volume Discounts & Custom Pricing

Our pricing structure rewards growth without punishing smaller orders. Most items offer tiered pricing with discounts at case quantities. For multi-location operations or high-volume accounts, we provide custom pricing quotes tailored to your specific needs.

Convenient Ordering & Delivery

Order online 24/7 or call our team for personalized assistance. Most orders ship within 1-2 business days via UPS Ground. Combine your supply order with coffee delivery to consolidate shipments and reduce freight costs.

Local customers in the Carolinas can arrange pickup at our facility or delivery for large orders.
