Running a cafe is not just about serving great coffee. The right snack options can encourage customers to stay longer, order more, and return often. A smart snack menu helps you increase profits while offering your guests variety, comfort, and creativity.
Let's look at six simple yet profitable snack ideas you can introduce today — and how trusted Alkemal Foods brands can help you make them even better.
Cookies and muffins are timeless cafe favourites — comforting, easy to prepare, and perfect alongside any hot or cold beverage. Their aroma alone can draw customers in.
To take them up a notch, try experimenting with Sprig gourmet ingredients. Sprig offers pure vanilla extract, natural cocoa, and exotic spices, ideal for elevating the flavour of your cookies, brownies, and muffins. A hint of real vanilla or premium cocoa gives your baked goods that professional, café-quality taste customers love.
Mini sandwiches or sliders are excellent for lunchtime or light-meal customers. They're easy to prepare, customizable, and ideal for pairing with coffee or cold drinks.
For fillings or sauces, try Megachef condiments — such as their soy sauce, oyster sauce, or seasoning blends — to add authentic, clean, and flavorful elements. You can craft gourmet sandwiches with Asian-inspired sauces or savoury spreads that stand out from regular café menus.
Vegan options are becoming a must-have in modern cafes, especially for customers seeking sustainable and plant-based choices. Wakao makes this easy with its jackfruit-based vegan meat.
You can use Wakao's ready-to-cook jackfruit in wraps, tacos, or paninis — it has a satisfying texture that works beautifully as a meat alternative. Offering a “Jackfruit BBQ Wrap” or “Vegan Jackfruit Burger” not only attracts health-conscious diners but also adds a trendy, eco-friendly option to your menu.
Customers love snacking — especially when it's guilt-free. Stocking The Healthy Binge millet chips gives your café a nutritious grab-and-go option.
These chips are gluten-free, vegan, and made with zero cholesterol or trans fat, offering a light, crunchy bite that pairs perfectly with dips or beverages. They're ideal for takeaway counters or display shelves near your POS area to encourage impulse purchases.
If your customers prefer something innovative and protein-rich, TEM TEM tempeh crisps are a great fit. Made from plant-based tempeh, these crisps are vegan-friendly, gluten-free, and high in fiber — perfect for cafes catering to the growing health-conscious and fitness-focused audience.
You can serve them as side snacks with smoothies or wraps, or sell them as pre-packed options for on-the-go customers. They're also great to feature in combo deals with drinks for higher average ticket value.
No café experience is complete without something sweet and indulgent. Loyka, a premium chocolate and confectionery brand from Alkemal Foods, brings a touch of luxury to your dessert counter.
Use Loyka chocolates in brownies, dessert bars, or small cake slices — or simply sell them as standalone confectionery for gifting or takeaway. Their use of single-origin cocoa and organic sweeteners ensures a high-end experience that resonates with premium café audiences.
Building the perfect café snack menu isn't just about variety — it's about offering food that excites your customers while keeping preparation simple and cost-effective. With Alkemal Foods' premium brands, you can easily achieve both.
From Wakao's jackfruit-based vegan meat and The Healthy Binge's millet chips to Sprig's gourmet ingredients, TEM TEM's tempeh crisps, Megachef's sauces, and Loyka's artisanal chocolates, these products help you deliver quality, innovation, and taste in every bite.
Let your snacks speak for your brand — and let Alkemal Foods supply the ingredients that make your café a destination.
