Wooden Coffee Stirrers for Cafes, Hotels & Restaurants
The stirrer is the last thing you hand a customer, and the cheapest place to stop looking cheap.
Plastic stirrers are on the way out — some of that is regulation, more of it is that customers notice. A wooden stirrer costs about the same at wholesale quantity, holds up in hot tea and qehwa without going soft, and is biodegradable, which is worth saying on the counter card. What it must not do is splinter or taste of anything, and both of those come down to how the wood was dried and finished rather than what it cost.
We cut three lengths because three is what the trade actually needs: 4.5 inch for espresso and cortado cups where anything longer looks wrong, 5.5 inch as the everyday café and restaurant stirrer, and 7.5 inch for tall takeaway cups, iced drinks and milkshakes. All rounded-end, sanded, unbleached poplar. If you want them printed with your logo, that is a separate quote and worth doing at volume.

What buyers in this trade ask
Which stirrer length should a cafe order?
The 5.5 inch covers most cups and is the one to standardise on if you only want to hold one size. Add the 4.5 inch if you serve a lot of espresso, and the 7.5 inch if you do tall takeaway or iced drinks.
Can you print our logo on the stirrers?
Yes, at volume. Send us your artwork and the quantity and we will quote the printing separately from the sticks.
Do wooden stirrers go soggy in hot drinks?
Not at this thickness and not when the wood has been dried properly. They are meant to be stirred with, not left standing in the cup for an hour.
What quantity do cafes normally order?
By the carton, and often every few weeks. Tell us roughly how many covers you do and we will suggest a quantity that does not have you reordering constantly or sitting on a year of stock.
Tell us what you run and we will quote it
Send the size and the quantity — or a sample of what you use now — and we will come back the same day.
