Common questions
What Does a Cafe Uniform Need?
A cafe uniform usually has two main parts: a shirt for baristas/servers and an apron — each has its own fabric requirements to look good and hold up to daily work.
Shirts for baristas/servers
A cotton crewneck or polo, printed or embroidered with the shop’s logo on the left chest — see detailed fabric advice at custom uniform manufacturing.
Barista aprons
Aprons should use thick, stain-resistant fabric like twill or kate, with a front pocket for small tools — see what fabric should an apron be for detail.
Matching cap or accessories
An embroidered or printed cap helps keep the shop’s brand consistent — see embroidered or printed cap logo to choose the right method for your cap’s fabric.
Ordering a small quantity for a new shop
There’s no minimum order — a newly opened shop can order a few sets first and add more as staff grows.
