Kid-Friendly

Kid-Friendly Coffee Shop Products Available at BPS When I was a kid, my parents never let me drink coffee–I always got that line about caffeine stunting growth. So, I can see why coffee shops might not necessarily think about catering to children. Kids certainly aren’t huge specialty coffee consumers... However, many of their caretakers are. Often parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and nannies arrive with kids in tow to place their coffee orders. So, why not offer menu items that appeal to their small sidekicks? Fun, indulgent treats and nutritious snacks or beverages, make mom’s coffee date with her bestie exciting for everyone (if you know what I mean). On the flipside, shops that don’t welcome or consider children may unintentionally be deterring parent patronage. If a caretaker’s children can’t be accommodated by a shop, he or she will probably opt for a more inclusive establishment with offerings for kids. All it takes is a quick Google search to see that parent bloggers are eager to find and promote cafes that their kids enjoy (see the list of the links at the bottom of the page). Furthermore, kid-friendly menu options create the opportunity for customers to come specifically to celebrate or spend time with their children. (Daddy-daughter coffee/doughnut dates are still some of my fondest childhood memories). Whatever way you slice it, menu options for kids increase the bottom line for shops, so don’t forget to stock up on products to satisfy kids and of course their adult counterparts!

Here are some of our favorite kid-friendly drink and snack ideas:

Smoothies
As many parents know, one of the easiest ways to persuade picky kids into eating nutritious fruits and vegetables is by disguising them in as smoothies that look and taste like desserts. With natural, 100% fruit smoothie blends from Dr. Smoothie and Smartfruit, offer the nutrition that parents require and the sweet-treat flavors that kids crave.

By formulating products with the consumer's good health in mind, Dr. Smoothie has become famous for its healthy approach to specialty beverages. Dr. Smoothie’s Organic and 100% Crushed whole fruit smoothie concentrates are made with the finest fully ripened fruit and veggies and contain no corn syrup, artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners or preservatives. They are also fat-free, non-dairy, gluten-free, vegan-friendly and easy to prepare. To make gourmet smoothies, just add ice and water to these shelf-stable concentrates then blend!

Smartfruit 100% real fruit mixes, boosted with highly functional superfoods deliver all the essential nutrition that nature intended. Smartfruit believes that fruit is perfectly wonderful on its own so they use only the freshest Non-GMO fruits and vegetables to make their products. Plus each flavor is enhanced with a unique superfood for extra nutrition.

Oatmeal
Oatmeal remains the classic breakfast or snack option for both adults and kids alike. With organic, non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free, low-sugar, whole hulled grain and fiber-rich options from Earnest Eats, Modern Oats and Umpqua Oats we know there’s something in our catalog to suit everyone’s taste.
