5+ Coffee Bar Stations You’ll Want To Wake Up For
If you wake up looking forward to your morning cup of coffee, we highly recommend a coffee bar station. Creating a designated spot to make your fresh brew will spark joy the moment you step into your kitchen. A custom beverage bar invites you to put your latest blend of coffee beans on display and showcase a mix of coffee makers and gadgets. Plus, it doubles as a self-serve drinks station when hosting brunch or dinner parties.
We had a look back at some of our favorite kitchens to see how designers seamlessly integrated coffee stations into their clients’ hardworking hubs. Whether found behind pocket doors or reeded glass, these beverage bars are as functional as they are fabulous.

Ribbed glass cabinets are a go-to design move for Collective Studio. In this kitchen, the graphic black frames and white oak shelves bring a tuxedo-like elegance to the coffee station. “There are so many different zones and wow moments in this kitchen,” says designer Jordy Fagan.
In this urban townhouse by Mariam Aboutaam, a built-in pantry with a convenient coffee niche makes use of what would have been otherwise empty wall space.
A coffee bar designed by Ami McKay features pockets doors and a base that slides out for easy use when customizing the brew.
Ceramicist Sara Wood’s kitchen has an Old World vibe, but the custom coffee station feels cool and current with a dramatic marble backsplash, pull-out drawers and plenty of coffee gadgets.
This cottage dining area is ideal for entertaining. Weekend guests can help themselves at the coffee-bar station that wows with reeding details and recessed doors.
“We wanted the coffee nook to be tucked away and out of sight but still look beautiful and be functional when open,” says designer Alana Firestone of Collective Studio.
