Our Soups for Cafes & Coffee Shops
Keeping your café’s menu fresh can be challenging. Our restaurant-quality, easy to prepare, nutritious, soups for café menus not only offer your customers more choice but can help to increase your profit margin.
Award-winning, delicious, healthy soup
Made by our chefs in small batches, all our soups are made with fresh ingredients with no artificial colours or flavourings. There are currently 20 varieties of soup for you to select from for your café. These include recipes from our new Around the World range such as our Indonesian Chickpea and Coconut, Thai Chicken and Italian Tomato and Basil.
We have vegan and vegetarian options for your customers as well as more traditional favourites like Leek & Potato and Country Vegetable.
Easy to prepare
Our fresh chilled soups are available in 380g single-serve microwaveable pots and 4kg ‘no mess’ re-sealable microwaveable tubs. Cafés can be extremely busy at lunch time, but our soups help alleviate this pressure cutting down on preparation time, as all you and your staff need to do is simply heat and serve them to your customers. Also, it is easier for you to control portion sizes and cut down on the cost of buying lots of fresh ingredients to make soup from scratch.
Free marketing materials
We have free marketing materials to help you sell our delicious soups. Every soup comes with information sheets which includes everything you and your customers need to know including allergen information. We also have ‘soup of the day’ posters in English and Welsh and free to use branded soup kettles.

FAQS ON SOUPS FOR CAFES & COFFEE SHOPS
A well-chosen soup menu can make a big difference to how a café or coffee shop is perceived. Alongside great coffee and cakes, offering soups gives customers a warming, wholesome choice that appeals to a wide range of tastes and dietary needs.
What soup options can coffee shops and cafés offer?
Most cafés and coffee shops offer a mix of classics, adventurous flavours, lighter health-focused recipes, and indulgent treats to make sure there’s something for everyone. Cream of Tomato, Thai Coconut & Lemongrass, Lentil & Vegetable, Roasted Red Pepper & Sweet Potato, and Stilton & Broccoli are all strong examples. For more detail on balancing these choices, see our guide on How to Curate the Perfect Soup Selection for a Café Menu.
What vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free soups suit cafés and coffee shops?
Dietary inclusivity is increasingly important for coffee shops and cafés. Vegan customers can enjoy plant-based recipes such as Roasted Red Pepper & Sweet Potato or Moroccan Chickpea, both of which are hearty and flavourful without any animal products. For vegetarian diners, soups like Broccoli & Stilton or Leek & Potato offer satisfying, meat-free choices that still feel indulgent. Many soups are also naturally gluten-free, especially those built around vegetables and legumes, although cafés should take care to avoid flour-based thickeners and opt for alternatives like cornstarch or rice flour.
What packaging options suit cafés and coffee shops—especially those offering takeaway soup?
Coffee shops and cafés that serve takeaway soup need packaging that is practical and reliable. Bulk containers work well behind the counter for portioning out individual servings, while food-safe cups with secure lids are the go-to option for customers on the move. Sizes typically mirror popular coffee cups, such as 12 or 16 ounces, making it easy to cross-sell soup alongside drinks. Many cafés now choose compostable or recyclable packaging to meet customer expectations around sustainability, while packaging that allows for easy labelling is particularly useful for grab-and-go displays or pre-portioned soups in chillers.
