Your favorite wholesale Raleigh coffee company here and we’ve got some words to share about syrups, the spring season, and what springtime means for coffee shops and coffee flavoring. Dilworth has been selling wholesale syrups and coffee for 30 years, and in those years, we’ve seen many seasonal coffee trends come and go. Spring is one of our favorite times of the year to innovate in beverage recipes. There’s so much inspiration that comes with flowers blooming and the air getting warmer, and we’re so excited to share that with you.
Coffee shops live and breathe flavored coffee syrup! It’s almost required these days to have a plethora of flavored syrup options for customers to choose from when they’re customizing their coffee order.
According to one report, around 80 percent of coffee-drinking consumers in the US personalize their java in one way or another, and seasonal syrups are one of the most popular ways to customize each cup. What’s more, for your customers, syrups can also shift a typical, everyday cup of coffee into a special experience. As Andrea Ramirez, Consumer & Customer Insight Manager at Torani Syrups shared, “They’re the item that lends indulgence and personalization to a drink, transforming it from a functional and routine beverage to one that’s a treat.”
If you’re looking to turn your coffee shop experience into a customer’s quick fix for both caffeine and joy, syrups are the way to go. But how do you anticipate which syrups to stock up on? That’s where buying wholesale syrups comes in!
Buying wholesale syrups means that not only do you get a better price by buying in bulk, but you also ensure that your customers can enjoy your spring creations without the fear of running out of product.
Springtime means spring flavors. The truth is, that many of your coffee-loving customers are looking for more than just a jolt of caffeine when they stop by your shop. They want a special—or even extraordinary— coffee flavor experience. Aromatic roasts and artful pours can work wonders for curating a memorable visit, but offering a rotating seasonal menu can make an even bigger impact when it comes to providing a meaningful experience in your shop.
One-of-a-kind drinks and innovative flavor combinations that rotate in and out with the changing seasons can leave a lasting impression on your patrons. In fact, 59 percent of consumers reported that they were more likely to order a drink if it had been labeled as “seasonal.”
What kind of flavors remind us of spring? Some of our favorites are lavender, honey, citrus, coconut, almond, cherry, and peach. Let’s explore these flavors a bit together!
When designing beverages for a seasonal menu, it’s helpful to start with a theme and some categories. A theme could be as simple as Classic Pie Flavors and categories such as Hot and Iced. With the spring-flavored syrups we mentioned above, and those two categories, let’s design some drinks!
An iced latte with orange syrup and honey, attempting to conjure an image of an orange orchard in spring with honeybees buzzing around the farmhouse.
A hot latte that uses coconut milk and peach syrup trying to create an indulgent drink that reminds the customer of a slice of coconut cream pie with fresh peaches on top.
An iced latte with cherry syrup, almond syrup, and almond milk. The flavors of this latte remind us of walking wooded trails in spring with a handful of our favorite healthy snack to fuel our trek.
The world is your oyster–Have fun with it!
When spring has sprung and summer is here, what shall we do with all of the spring coffee syrups remaining?
Run specials! The easiest thing to do is create some fun easy drinks at a lower price point for your customers to enjoy. Most wholesale coffee syrups have a year-long shelf life, and so you have time as a business owner to go through the product with no issues.
Another thing you could do is set them aside for your team of baristas to enjoy! One of the many great perks of working in a coffee shop is getting to enjoy great coffee all day. I’m sure your team won’t mind the extra treat!
Dilworth is here for your wholesale coffee and coffee syrup needs, for spring and beyond! Every season brings new challenges, new flavors, and of course new coffee. Sip it how you feel it!
