Straws

Whether you’re switching away from plastic or just replacing stock that’s run low, straws have become a genuine buying decision for most hospitality venues. Chef’s Hat stocks a range that covers the everyday needs of cafes, bars, and restaurants, including paper straws, metal reusable straws, bamboo straws, and cocktail straws in a range of colours and sizes. It’s a category where presentation and practicality both matter, and there’s enough variety here to suit either.

Paper straws have become the standard for venues that want to reduce single-use plastic, and the range includes both solid colours and patterned options for some branding flexibility. Reusable metal and bamboo straws suit venues where durability and washability are the priority. Cocktail straws and milkshake straws are available in the longer and shorter formats suited to different glassware.

Chef’s Hat delivers straws and bar supplies Australia-wide from South Melbourne. Browse the range below, or get in touch if you’re ordering in bulk for a venue fit-out.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What straws are best for cafes serving smoothies and thick cold drinks?

For thick smoothies and frappes, a wider-bore paper straw or a reusable metal straw with good diameter works well. Thin paper straws can soften quickly in cold, thick drinks, so a premium-grade thicker paper straw or a reusable option is worth considering for these applications. For standard iced drinks and sodas, regular-diameter paper straws perform reliably.

Are paper straws suitable for hot drinks?

Paper straws are not generally designed for hot beverages, as the heat and moisture will cause them to soften quickly. For hot drinks, reusable options such as metal or glass straws are the more practical choice. Most cafes use paper straws for cold beverages only.

Do you sell straws in bulk for commercial orders?

Yes. Chef’s Hat stocks straws in bulk-pack quantities suitable for commercial use. If you’re ordering for a venue or event and need a specific quantity or colour, contact us directly to discuss bulk pricing and availability.
