Perfect Your Coffee Bar Cabinet Set Up With A Few Budget-Friendly Dollar Tree Items

Instead of having to memorize and repeat your order like a caffeinated parrot, building your own home coffee bar allows you to enjoy your daily cup from home, while likely saving you some money, too. While popping your coffee machine on a countertop and adding a few easy-to-reach supplies will certainly suffice, taking the time to really create a proper coffee-house vibe can completely upgrade your morning (or any time of day) experience. You don't have to blow the budget to kit out your caffeination station, either. Dollar Tree has a variety of items you can integrate into your setup that will make it look expensive and aesthetically pleasing. And, while it might be a long shot, these clever additions might even make the home brew taste better.

When writing out your Dollar Tree shopping list, take a moment to consider how much space you are working with, and what supplies will benefit your coffee bar. If you use K Cups or coffee grounds, jars to house these are a great option. Bottles for your syrups will make everything look more uniform, and differently sized glass jars can also work for sugars, creamers, and any other caffeine accessories you need and use regularly.

Dollar Tree has a vast selection of everything you could need to style a cute at-home coffee bar. TikTokker @jaimielynnromeo has a great layout using inexpensive items that make the coffee bar appear clean, organized, and uniform. Adding decorative mugs to your table or shelves will elevate the space and give it a café vibe. You can find Countertop Cookie and Standard Stainless Steel lidded jars which are ideal for holding tea bags and coffee pods, so you can discard boxes and keep your items more organized. 

For easy grab and go options, you can fill a large Floral Bowl with coffee pods, too! To keep your spices fresh, snag the Glass Sugar and Cheese pourers or the Mini Glass Shaker Jars for easy sprinkling. Syrups work great with the Glass Oil and Vinegar Bottles or a few of the Large Glass Bottles with Round Handles. This removes the need to keep your original bottles with their loud, mismatched labels. If you use coffee grounds, the Square Glass Jar with Clasp Lid is a great storage option, keeping the grounds fresh while fitting in with your other glass items.

To label your containers, you can create custom ones with sticker sheets (available at Amazon) and print them at home. You can also order pre-designed pages online like these from Etsy. These will make the containers, jars, and bottles look more stylized and luxurious, rather than just plain fronts with your supplies showing through. Opt for a fun font that matches your coffee bar's theme and color scheme. For example, if you're aiming for a rustic, farmhouse aesthetic, cursive, rounded, or monogram fonts in browns and tans will look right in place. For a more modern look, stick to clean fonts in sleek colors like black and charcoal.

If you're using counter space, bring in a tray like this Dollar Tree Square Wood Tray with Handles to hold the jars and bottles, as well as the shakers and a few mugs. You can paint it any color you'd like or stain it to create a more rustic finish. If you need to create a new dedicated space, these IKEA cabinets that make great coffee bars, you can install hooks where possible to hang your mugs, making more room for your Dollar Tree finds. To pull the coffee bar together, paint one of the Hanging Slated Wooden Signs and stick vinyl letters to it that read "Coffee" or similar phrases for a truly café inspired design.
