2 min readSummer’s finally here, and who are we kidding? If it’s not raining or mind-numbingly hot, you’re going to spend the foreseeable future outside. With the rise of outdoor kitchens and al fresco dining areas, it’s becoming second nature to take cooking, dining, and even happy hours to the backyard. But what about your morning coffee? If you ask us, there’s nothing more serene than enjoying a fresh cup of coffee with the morning dew and chirping birds—before the hustle and bustle of your daily routine kicks in.
Sure, you could lug your drip coffee or matcha from your kitchen to the backyard; however, Amazon has a better idea: Add a cafe to your outdoor space. After all, the Everything Store has everything—including a bunch of prefabricated cafes. These spacious shipping containers have been reimagined to light airy spaces that can accommodate…well, an entire coffee shop. We’re talking clusters of tables and chairs, high-top tables for somewhere to perch, and even a barista bar where you can craft the perfect flat white. In fact, depending on which model you buy, it might be even possible to hook up some electrical and plumbing lines.

Because, in true Amazon fashion, this isn’t exactly a one-cafe-fits-all situation. Turns out, there are a bunch of options to get that coffee bar vibe just right. Maximalists will find a lot to love about this double-decker setup, which is reimagined in a fun, bright green. Craving something more modern? A steel and wooden cafe might conjure some Starbucks Reserve vibes. Or, if you’re working with a smaller yard, maybe a mobile coffee shop is just what you were looking for.
An outdoor coffee bar can romanticize your morning routine this summer, but it will cost you. While most options will cost a couple of thousand dollars, the priciest one we saw could set you back a whopping $40,000. Look, that’s a lot of money: Even if your kids use your new coffee bar as an impromptu lemonade stand, they’d have to sell a lot of lemonade to recoup the four-figure price tag.
That said, if you’re looking to make the most of your backyard this summer—and make this season a lot more serene—this new addition might be priceless. Plus, everyone talks about how sheds can make the most of your space and up your home’s value, so why can’t coffee bars be the same? After all, everyone knows a great day is impossible without coffee in hand, so this setup can surprise and delight just about everyone.
