The Best Coffee Bar Accessories:

1. Iced Coffee Cups

The first, and most important part of creating your at-home coffee bar, apart from the coffee machine of course, is the drinking glasses.

I don’t know about you, but whenever I’m using a cute cup, my drink instantly tastes better! And it’s just fun to have some cute glasses to accompany your favorite morning beverage.

The glass to-go tumblers are perfect if you want a glass cup with the insurance of a lid. It still has that cute coffee cup feel, but you can also take it in the car with you or while you’re running errands.

The to-go tumblers are definitely my go-tos when I’m working from home and want to enjoy a yummy drink at my desk to keep me motivated. 😊

The icon glasses from Anthropologie are a classic, and everyone’s favorite for a reason! They even have a holiday one (with gingerbread houses) if you want to add a festive touch to your coffee bar.

But whatever you do, do not put hot liquid into these glasses! It will not end well, trust me.

2. Coffee Table Books

Coffee table books are the perfect decor to add to your coffee bar! They don’t take up a lot of space, they’re easy to style, and they’ll make your coffee station feel extra homey.

One or two of these coffee table books stacked on top of each other or leaned up against a wall is such an easy and effortless way to add some style your coffee nook.

And if you’re a visual person like myself, and need a little extra guidance with the actual styling of your coffee bar, here are 19 stylish and chic coffee bar ideas to get you started.

3. Milk Frother

Is a cup of coffee even complete without some frothy milk? If you don’t already use a milk frother for your at-home coffees, let me introduce you to one of the easiest ways to take your coffees to the next level!

If you want something super easy and basic, a handheld frother will give your milk that foamy top.

But if you want something that will heat your milk, and make it thick and frothy, you’re going to want an electric milk frother (the one on the left or the right).

I will say, milk frothers can be a little pricey, but it’s something that you’ll use pretty much every single day. And once you start making your coffees with frothy milk, you’ll never want to go back!

4. Coffee Mugs

Of course, for a true coffee bar, you’re going to need some good mugs. I like to combine some basic neutral mugs with some fun patterned ones for a pop of color and personality.

Coffee mugs are also a great way to decorate your coffee bar. Keeping a couple of them on display will really make it feel like an at-home café!

5. Coffee Sweeteners

This is where things get fun! The type of sweetener you add to your coffee is what’s going to make the biggest difference in how it tastes.

It’s always good to have some classic syrups and sauces on hand (e.g. vanilla caramel, chocolate, etc.). The same goes for sugar.

And it’s always fun to add a seasonal syrup to the mix around the holidays to spice things up a little. This hazelnut one from Anthropologie – chef’s kiss!

If you ever get bored of your same old coffee, switching up the sweetener is a super easy way to make things interesting again. It’s also just nice to have a variety of options.

6. Hot Water Kettle

Depending on the type of coffee you make, a hot water kettle might be a necessity in your coffee bar! You can also add one to turn your coffee corner into a space to make tea as well. Coffee station by morning, tea corner by night!

The electric tea kettle from Anthropologie is one of my personal favorites – and one of the most practical! It has a simple clean design, and it can actually hold the temperature of your water if you want to go back for seconds.

The other two from Amazon are good options, but the main thing that sets them apart is their design and brand, otherwise they’re pretty similar.

7. Display Tray

If you’ve seen any of the coffee bars on Pinterest, then you know a display tray is a staple item to hold all of your coffee essentials, while making your coffee station look pretty and stylish at the same time!

These are great for holding your syrups, coffee pods, containers, or really any smaller items in your coffee bar.

This is also a great direction to go in if you’re working your coffee station into your kitchen, to make it feel like it’s own separate section of your kitchen without your coffee essentials blending in too much with everything else on the counter.

8. Coffee Mug Holder

Like I mentioned earlier, displaying your coffee mugs is such a great way to make your coffee station feel like a personal café. It’s also such a cute way to decorate, while keeping it functional.

A wood tree mug is perfect for displaying your absolute favorite mugs when you don’t have a ton of space to work with.

A coffee cup rail is always super fun, but works best of your have a backsplash to attach it to – if your coffee station is in the kitchen.

The last option, a wooden mug cubby, is perfect if you have a collection of mugs that you want to keep organized and displayed at the same time.

9. Coffee Storage

No matter how big or small your coffee bar is, you’re gonna need a spot to stash your beans or pods, your sugar, and all the little extra coffee goodies.

And let’s be honest—whatever space you’re decorating, switching from the original packaging to matching containers is the quickest way to make it look cute and cohesive.

10. Syrups and Sweetener Containers

Switching your syrups into glass pump containers is such an underrated way to make your coffee bar feel elevated.

Of course there is nothing wrong with keeping your syrups in their original packing (especially if you have a lot of them) and simply switching out the screw tops for a syrup pump dispenser.

Same thing goes for honey – a cute little glass jar is always a cute touch!

11. Coffee Spoons

Coffee spoons are another fun way to make your coffee bar feel a little more elegant. I mean, if a special set of spoons dedicated purely for your coffee doesn’t say luxury, I don’t know what does!

It’s also just nice to have something to stir your coffee with (within easy reach) to make sure everything is thoroughly mixed before enjoying.

12. Espresso and Milk Cups

Espresso cups and glass steamer pitchers are a good addition to your coffee bar to make sure your different liquids stay separate until it’s time to mix everything together to make the final product.

You can definitely use a regular glass cup, but it’s always fun to have special cups and pitchers dedicated solely for your coffee bar!

13. Drawer Organizers

If you can spare a drawer and dedicate it to your coffee essentials, definitely add a few organizers so you’re not wasting any space. Especially with all the small stuff, having a system keeps things from turning into a chaotic junk drawer.

This makes your coffee bar feel way more put-together and makes your mornings way less stressful—no more digging around half-awake trying to find what you need.

14. Espresso Cups

For my espresso lovers out there, of course you’re going to need some cute espresso cups to enjoy your morning beverage in. Personally, I’m not an espresso person, but these adorable cups alone make me want to become one. 😂

15. Countertop Organizers

Countertop organizers are a great way to fit in some extra storage when you don’t have the luxury of drawer or cabinet space to keep your coffee bar staples hidden.

An espresso tamping station is where you’ll want to keep all your espresso essentials so everything stays in one easy, grab-and-go spot—no more random drawers.

For coffee pods or spoons, a marble tumbler or container is such a cute way to store them while still keeping your coffee bar looking elevated.

And if you’re short on drawer space, this individual coffee pod holder is a total game-changer with extra room on top for your other coffee must-haves.

16. Drink Coasters

Whether or not you need drink coasters depends on your coffee bar situation.

If your coffee station uses a wood cabinet of any kind, you’re going to want some coasters on hand to make sure your drinks are never going directly on the wood. The last thing you want are those glass cup rings stained onto your furniture.

But, if your coffee corner is built-into the kitchen with any kind of marble or laminated countertops, this isn’t as big of a deal, and a set of stylish coasters could just serve as practical decor.

17. Tiered Countertop Organizers

If you don’t have a whole lot of counter space, tiered organizers will be your best friend! They’ll help you maximize your storage without sacrificing style.

The tiered organizer you choose just depends on what your decorating style is, and how much storage you need.

This would probably be in place of a decorative tray if you need that extra level or two of extra space to hold your coffee bar essentials.

18. Extra Accessories

Now that we’ve got all of the basics covered, there are a few extra accessories that aren’t necessarily essentials, but they will definitely level-up your coffee bar situation.

A mini coffee spoon rest is by no means a must-have but it’s nice to be able to have a place to put your coffee spoon or stirrer that won’t make a mess on the counter.

A coffee filter holder is such a nice touch if your coffee maker uses filters (which, let’s be honest, most of them do) so they’re always within easy reach.

Lastly, a coffee scale is not a requirement for a good coffee bar, but if you want to get a little technical, and make sure your coffee turns out the same every time, a scale will definitely come in handy! I’m telling you, this is the key to getting perfect coffee every single time!

19. Ambience Lighting

Lighting is EVERYTHING! If you want that cozy coffee bar feel, warm lights will totally do the trick—bonus points if they’re dimmable for extra ambiance.

Even just for a decor factor, adding a small cordless table lamp will make it feel super quaint – just like your favorite small town coffee shop.
