Business insurance for coffee shops

Protect your coffee shop with insurance that’s brewed-to-order and very satisfying.

Why you need coffee shop insurance

Your coffee shop or tea shop isn’t just any business. It’s an essential part of your customers’ lives. Which is why you should let State Farm® help you create a policy that blends the right coverages for your coffee shop, so you can focus on the daily grind.

  • Hot and cold beverages are your stock and trade, but they can also be your worst nightmare. Burns and slip-and-fall injuries happen, and if they happen at your coffee shop, you could find yourself in some very hot water.
  • Speaking of water, your coffee shop relies on its plumbing. A broken pipe could damage expensive equipment, and when your water service is interrupted, your income can be, too.
  • Employee theft is something nobody likes to talk about. But it’s a thing, and not talking about it won’t make it go away.

Coffee shop insurance coverages we recommend

We’ll start with a package of coverages most coffee shops need. Then we’ll customize them to fit your unique business. The result? A policy that keeps you covered at a rate that’s surprisingly light and sweet.
  • Property insurance helps cover your coffee shop, its contents, equipment, and inventory from a covered claim.
  • General liability helps pay your legal expenses if you’re responsible for someone getting hurt in your coffee shop or if you damage someone else’s property.
  • Equipment breakdown coverage can help pay for covered equipment if it breaks down or is damaged by covered claims.
  • Employee dishonesty coverage helps protect you from direct physical loss to business personal property because of employees’ dishonest acts.
  • Utility interruption loss of income coverage helps protect you if you can’t operate because of an interruption in communications, water, natural gas, or electrical service due to a covered claim.

Consider adding additional coverages

Some coffee shops need additional coverage to deal with increased risk. Not a problem because your State Farm agent will work with you to understand and help meet your needs.

Commercial auto
