Home Cafe Menu Kit: Coffee Bar Boards, Syrup Recipes and Labels

This home cafe menu kit dresses up your coffee station with five styles of menu board, each offered filled in or blank for your own handwriting, as full pages and as smaller 8 x 10 in boards. Alongside them come 24 original recipe cards for syrups and lattes, six cold foam recipes, cards guests use to order, a setup checklist for your coffee station and labels for syrup bottles. All 41 undated pages come as US Letter and A4 PDF files by instant download, and nothing is shipped.

It is a simple way to make weekend mornings feel special and to give guests something lovely to order from.

How the home cafe menu turns a corner into a coffee shop

Display a ready-made board straight away, or write your own drinks on a blank one, then slip it into a standard frame or clip it next to the coffee maker. Twelve syrup cards range from cozy classics like vanilla bean, salted caramel and maple pecan to seasonal treats like pumpkin spice and gingerbread, plus fruity strawberry and banana. Every card gives the yield, ingredients, four steps, good pairings and how long the syrup lasts in the fridge.

Twelve more cards put those syrups to work in lattes, cold brew, a shaken espresso and an iced matcha with strawberry, while six cold foam cards whip up a creamy topping in less than a minute. Guests check off what they want on an order card, and each bottle wears a label showing when it was made and when to finish it. Your kitchen starts to run like a tiny cafe.

Who will enjoy this coffee bar kit

• Coffee fans setting up a coffee bar or a little coffee cart at home
• Anyone craving cafe style lattes and cold foam made in their own kitchen
• Hosts pouring coffee at brunches, showers or holiday mornings who would love guests to pick from a menu
• Bakers and home cooks who enjoy making flavored syrups from scratch
• Families who savor slow weekend breakfasts and a pretty corner of the kitchen

Design, sizes and printing

• Calm, minimalist style: white pages with soft blush pink accents that need little ink
• Roomy margins, so your home printer will not clip any edges
• Full page boards print on US Letter, 8.5 by 11 inches, or A4, 210 by 297 mm. The smaller pieces, from the 8 x 10 in boards and 4 by 6 inch recipe cards to the 3.5 by 5 inch order cards and 3 by 2 inch bottle labels, sit on those same sheets with crop marks or cut lines
• Undated and not limited to one season: there is a fall specials board plus blank boards for the rest of the year
• Original recipes measured in US cups and spoons, each sized for a single drink or a single bottle
• Free of brand names, so the menus suit any coffee machine and any beans
