I've hosted quite a few Simple Brunch Coffee Bar events through the years, and they are perhaps the easiest to prepare! They are a win, win for me because I spend the least amount of time preparing, I'm less stressed and I still have the entire day ahead of me after the brunch. Cooler weather will be here before we know it, and that just means more coffee for me….which I love.

Did you know that Saturday, September 29th is National Coffee Day!

It's the perfect reason to celebrate this Saturday or any day! Invite a few friends over or just create a special brunch for your family. It's also great for those 12 noon football games.

A Coffee Bar is fabulous for the late morning hours!

  • All prep can be done quickly the night before or the morning of for ease.
  • Don't stress! Purchase premade muffins, pastries and fruit trays.
  • Folgers® K-Cup® Pods make the bar self-serve! Just periodically check your single-serve water reservoir.
  • A couple of hours is the ideal amount of time. It still gives your guests plenty of time to accomplish other things during the day.
  • Clean-up is minimal with just a few food items.

dining room area with coffee bar I set my bar up in the breakfast room area of our kitchen. Notice that I moved the front and side chairs from around the table to allow for movement. I placed the chairs in the family room for extra seating. folgers coffee Of course, the star of the show is the coffee! I elected to use Folgers® K-Cup® Pods for the coffee bar. It's easy for a small crowd. I used Folgers® K-Cup® Pods in the following 2 delicious varieties:

  • Folgers Classic Roast® Coffee which is a delicious medium roast made from rich, aromatic Mountain Grown® beans
  • Folgers® 100% Colombian Coffee which is a very rich and full-bodied medium-dark roast coffee

brunch foods Think outside the box when decorating for your coffee party! This is not a runner or tablecloth, but a rug! Yes….a floor rug. Of course, you'll want to use a rug that you purchased strictly for dining purposes. It's unique and contains just the area for the goodies. The extra space on either side works great for those that linger and chat around the food.

brunch foods Vary your heights for your plates of food to create interest. Tiered plates work great for this. You can also create height by placing various boxes under a tablecloth as well.

flowers and food

Bring in the unexpected to your tablescape with home decor pieces. The blue floral box was the perfect addition to showcase the grocery store flowers in a teapot with a couple of birds.

Foods for the Coffee Bar

  • grapes & strawberries
  • chocolate cookie straws
  • seasonal mini-cupcakes
  • 2 varieties of muffins
  • mini ham & cheese croissants
  • seasonal butter spread for the muffins

coffee napkins I added a bit of whimsy with a fun paper napkin.

hutch with coffee bar Off to the side of the food is the coffee bar. I must say that I am so happy with the idea of a coffee bar set up here (for the first time!), that I'm going to leave it this way for a while. I find that as cooler weather approaches, we drink coffee more than just in the morning. Getting coffee at a local shop takes too much time! With this coffee bar, I have everything I need to make an amazing cup whenever I want.

coffee bar This fun coffee bar took no time to put together! It was the ultimate compliment when my college daughter went nuts over it.

coffee bar I left the decor on the top as is, but added that cute little coffee sign.

spice jars You can quickly step up your coffee bar by emptying the spices into cute salt and pepper shakers or covering them with labels. I also placed a sticker on the bottom of each in case they get mixed up. I used Pumpkin Pie Spice, Ground Nutmeg and Ground Cinnamon.

coffee flavoring I made these floral labels with scrapbook paper, chalkboard labels and chalk pens. It allowed me to add another pattern to the area and inexpensively jazz it up a bit. Sugar stir sticks are a fun touch as well. A personal milk frother turns your coffee into a cappuccino with ease.

coffee bar coffee bar If you are setting your coffee bar up on a surface that needs protection, I highly recommend a tray of some sort under your coffee maker to contain any possible spills. This round tray works great for my single serve brewer with a little space for extra mugs.

Coffee bars are a great way to bring friends and family together for either a yummy breakfast or brunch or even an after-dinner dessert party! I'd love to hear how you plan on celebrating National Coffee Day on September 29th! Even just a simple morning in with your loved one enjoying a cup on the porch is fun and relaxing. coffee bar pin

      Thanks so much! We bought it about 20 years ago in Chapel Hill, NC while visiting. One of our favorite pieces! It’s an antique.

    Good article, I have a French Press, it does take a long time to get a copy of this coffee machine, but I really like the way it was made to produce a cup of delicious coffee.

    You can talk about Smucker all you like, I love it! Strawberry jam, my favorite. My entire meal could consist of bread and jam. I love your simple “Coffee” as it was called in my day. It was a mid-morning get together with friends and neighbors after husbands were off to work.

Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestion Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestions about my back yesterday. I did absolutely nothing and rested it. I slept better last night, and it's much better today. Last year on this very day, I posted our winter mantel. I loved this look. We enjoyed it so much throughout January. Keep on using your fresh greenery and twinkle lights if it makes you happy! Going through old ideas has me inspired to spruce up our mantel. Sadly, I haven't really done anything to it since Christmas. I went straight from putting up Christmas to painting the mudroom! Have a cozy evening! Visit the blog with the link in bio @oursouthernhome Just type in WINTER MANTEL in the search bar.

This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’ This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’t happen! It’s the first one of the new year! I was 1/2 way through the project while simultaneously painting the mud room cabinets. Down on the floor painting lower cabinets and twisted a certain way which did something to my lower back/hip. Ugh!!!! I got it done with the help of @ashlyn_little ⭐️ I couldn’t sleep and currently on heating pad. I’m going to be useless today! Any remedy ideas? I’ve got to get back to painting! I can’t take things in disarray. Lol! I’ll be working on the laptop in bed today I guess and checking out the other projects from my blogging friends! Link in bio and stories to the blog post!

Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie  here! My grandma has taken a little break from social media and the blog to enjoy time with us before Woods and Ashlyn started classes back at Clemson. Personally...I’m ready to see her get out of sweats and put some makeup on! She did finally get all the Christmas packed away. With the tree gone, I’ve got my other bed back in the den! I think she’s coming off a sugar high. She mentioned that all the Hershey kisses were gone. Oh, well! Things are getting back to normal around here! Maybe they’ll get me a haircut!

I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER! I wore them for the first time out Saturday night for our anniversary dinner! @lovechicos Now I want to wear them all the time! They are so comfy, stretchy, lightweight and just freaking fabulous! ❤️ Paired them with a sweater from @amazonfashion so it toned the look down a bit. I felt dressy casual. I’m also going to be wearing them with a white sweatshirt and tennis shoes! Life is too short.....So wear the sequins! Follow me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to get the product details for this look and others http://liketk.it/34KjY #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKNewYear #StayHomeWithLTK

You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s right! I’m not doing a darn thing today. I always lounge the day after Christmas to recoup after days of cooking. After Christmas is when I can finally relax a bit and enjoy the beauty of the season. I finally watched Little Women this morning and loved. Now I’m watching season 2 of Virgin River. How are you spending your Saturday? I’ll be getting dressed later this evening for our anniversary dinner. #31years tomorrow! 🥂

Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Chri Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Christmas Eve Birthday with my family. I’ll admit, it’s been a busy day of chores, but it’s been extra special because the kids are both home with us. Hunkering in for the evening. Here’s a tip when you’re wanting to feel put together at home. @spanx faux leather leggings work dressed up or down! Add a pair of @isotoner.us ballet slippers and you can fake a ballet flat at home! Over the knee boots and scarf are Amazon finds. I’ll be linking the look in the #liketoknowit app soon. Merry Christmas Eve!
