Café Cups: Premium Drinkware Solutions For Busy Cafés & Restaurants
When it comes to serving great drinks, the right café cups make all the difference. Whether you’re pouring expertly crafted flat whites, refreshing iced lattes or on-the-go smoothies, your customers expect quality, consistency and practicality. That’s exactly why Purple Planet Packaging offers one of the UK’s most versatile ranges of takeaway cups, perfect for cafés, coffee shops, restaurants and grab-and-go venues of every kind. With options for hot, cold and everything in between, we’re here to help your drinks shine — sustainably.
Hot, Cold & Everything In Between
Every bustling barista station and café counter needs café cups that can keep up with high-volume service and that’s where our range truly excels. Purple Planet Packaging stocks an extensive selection of cups designed to support fast-paced hospitality whilst delivering a standout customer experience.
For hot drinks, our double-wall and single-wall paper cups are café essentials. Double-wall cups provide extra insulation and protect hands from heat, making them ideal for cappuccinos, mochas and large black coffees. Single-wall cups are great for lighter service or for pairing with cup sleeves, offering a flexible and cost-effective option. Many cafés also love Vegware’s Gallery and Feel Good designs, which add stylish artwork and eco-friendly messaging to every sip.
Hot beverages are just the beginning. Our cold café cups include rPET clear cups perfect for iced coffees, smoothies, frappés and fresh juices. With dome or flat lids available, these cups are a favourite for summer menus and chilled grab-and-go displays. We also offer Vegware cold cups made from renewable plant-based materials, bringing sustainable flair to your refreshments.
Need something for beer, cocktails or soft drinks? Our flexy pint cups and CE-marked two-pint recyclable cups are ideal for restaurants, bars, events and outdoor service areas. Strong, practical and perfectly stackable, they’re designed to keep your busy service running smoothly.
Quality, Convenience & Designs Your Customers Will Love
Your drinks are a key part of your brand and your café cups should reinforce that. Purple Planet Packaging offers a wide range of styles and finishes to suit any service atmosphere, whether you’re a specialty coffee house or a lively brunch spot.
Vegware’s iconic “Feel Good” cups and Gallery range bring character, colour and environmental awareness to the forefront. Their plant-based materials and modern artistry are especially popular with eco-conscious cafés and customers who appreciate unique presentation. For a more neutral or professional look, we stock classic kraft, sleek white and custom branded options that complement any aesthetic.
Best of all, our cups pair seamlessly with matching lids, straws and carriers, helping your takeaway drinks look cohesive whilst ensuring convenience for your customers.
Beyond drinkware, we also support cafés with additional packaging — from food containers to cutlery, napkins and bags — giving you everything you need for a polished and efficient service.
The Right Café Cups For Every Beverage
At Purple Planet Packaging, we understand that every café and restaurant menu is different and your café cups should reflect that. Whether you’re serving espresso shots, large lattes, iced coffees, milkshakes, smoothies or even pints, our range ensures you’ll find the perfect match.
Sizes range from compact 4oz espresso cups to generous 20oz cold cups, with compostable, recyclable and standard options available to suit your service style and sustainability commitment. With durability, comfort and presentation in mind, our cups are selected to elevate your drinks from first sip to last.
