6 Coffee Kiosk Success Stories [2023]
Start A Coffee Kiosk

Coffee kiosks sell specialty coffee, including espresso, and lattes, and can include a variety of pastries and other goodies as accompaniments.

There are three basic options for starting a coffee kiosk:

-Purchase a franchise: Jumping in with a built-in business model - Buy an existing coffee kiosk: investing in a coffee kiosk that is up for sale or needs revamping to become profitable - Start from scratch: this requires more effort but offers more flexibility and potential to maximize profits.

Opening a coffee kiosk can be extremely profitable, but if you find a good location, you can set up a relaxing atmosphere. If you plan to open a coffee kiosk, ensure you serve quality coffees and snacks, and provide work-friendly features.

Here are some real life success stories of starting a coffee kiosk :

Case Study

My name is Beth Baxter and I co-founded Camper Cafe, a mobile coffee van business. The idea for our business started with my partner’s love for vintage VW campervans. He had a rusty old shell of a T25 Campervan given to him, that he wanted to convert into a trailer for his motorbikes.

Although we never really thought about this ever becoming more than just a lifestyle business, we found we were turning so much work away from that in 2019 when the company was turning over around £150k from working only 70 days of the year, we decided that I should go full-time to see the potential.
