Cups and Lids

Hello everyone.  I am staring a coffee shop in Granbury, Texas.  This is a new endeavor for me.  Can someone recommend a good cost efficient source for coffee cups and lids?  I'm looking for paper cups and also plastic cups for teas and smoothies.  Thanks for your input.  I appreciate it.

Try these guys, we use them for our shop and I know they ship.  I've found them less expensive than most.

Search for a local paper distributor in your area that delivers. Ask restaurants who they use.

+1 if you have someone in mind for your other consumables get pricing form them AND ASK FOR A DISCOUNT. We use Solo at our cafe and are getting it substantially cheaper than the originally quoted

Shop 3 local distributors and ask for discounts before committing to anyone make them work for your business. Same thing for everything you will buy put it all on a spreadsheet and hand it to the rep when they walk in the door, ask for their best price. The more organized you are with this stuff the better deal you will get.

Texas Specialty Beverage carrys tons of cups. They don't have a website, but they deliver all around Dallas/Ft.Worth Area. You can call David Blackney at (205) 441-8555. He's super nice and helpful.

Yes, talk to David Blackney - he's fantastic, we've been using him for 2 1/2 years. Also, cupdepot.com has amazing prices + free shipping. David also has a guy named Gavin who's a great espresso tech, in case on of your machines ever go down. I don't know if they make it out to granbury, but its worth a shot.

Hope that helps!
