Starting a café can be the adventure of a lifetime but we all need a little help to work out what commercial kitchen equipment we need to make sure our café is a success from the get-go.
Perth Commercial Kitchens has been supporting local businesses with top-quality commercial kitchen equipment for over 15 years, we have knowledge in this department and would love to share it. If you need advice, reach out to us using our online contact form or call us on 08 9249 7222.
Here is a list of the most common commercial kitchen equipment people need when opening a café:
Commercial Blender
Every café needs a blender. Whether it’s for tasty fruit smoothies, refreshing milkshakes, or even to blend your delicious lunchtime soups. Every café needs at least one good quality commercial blender, like our MixPro Commercial Blender which features a noise-dampening hood and comes with a spare jug.
We created a video for you to see this commercial blender in action!
Countertop Oven
A commercial oven is a non-negotiable piece of kitchen equipment. Even if you don’t plan on serving sit-down dishes, a commercial oven is perfect for those café’s that want to stand out. For making your bread, tarts, pies, and cakes, a commercial oven is invaluable. If you are short on space, this is where the Hargrill Velo Countertop High-Speed Oven comes in. With its rapid cook system, you can heat and cook food items fast!
Panini Contact Grill
It’s not a café without a toasted panini and sandwich menu. We strongly recommend purchasing a commercial panini contact grill. We offer a range of contact grills and panini presses, an example of a popular choice is our Hargrill Panini Contact Grill which features ribbed contact plates for that recognisable panini grilled look. Plus, it is not just for panini’s. If you can grill it, the panini press can cook it!

Commercial Fridge Freezer
If you want to reduce food waste and keep yourself prepped and ahead of the game, a commercial fridge freezer is one piece of café kitchen equipment you will want to budget for. The compact Flexi door fridge-freezer from Thermocool really packs a punch with its perfectly designed cooling drawers and stable internal temperatures.
Display Fridge
Every café should have a display fridge for all those popular drink cans. Not only does it keep your beverages beautifully cool on a warm summer’s day but the clear windows help draw your customer’s eyes to the very thing they need. Check out our 160L Norsk Slim Display Fridge. Its internal light box makes this unassuming piece of café equipment a staple piece for your business.
Commercial Display Cabinet
Selling cakes, pies, or even pastries? You are going to need a classic countertop commercial display cabinet. They can come chilled or heated depending entirely on what kind of dishes you plan to show off in them. Our 120L Norsk Countertop Display Cabinet is perfect for point-of-sale positioning but it also has plenty of room for your delicious goodies.
Milk Fridge
Milk is one ingredient that every cafe will go through litres of every single day. From coffees, milkshakes, and tea, to soups, cakes, and quiches. Milk is an essential ingredient to the running of a cafe. So, you need a milk fridge that can keep up with your demands. Just like this Berkool 128L Milk Fridge.
Ice Maker
The last piece of essential kitchen equipment on our list is the commercial ice maker. No iced latte or pint of cola is complete without a few cubes of refreshing ice and the last thing you want to have to do is peel ice cubes from a plastic bag. Splash out and get your very own 25kg/Day Norpole Bullet Ice Maker to have high-quality ice at hand whenever you need it.
