Ice for Cafés, Coffee Shops & Juice Bars in London
Cube and crushed ice for iced coffee, iced tea, smoothies, frappés and bubble tea. Delivered next day across London, so your ice machine is never the bottleneck.
Iced drinks need a lot of ice
Iced lattes, cold brew, iced tea, smoothies, frappés and bubble tea all start with a cup full of ice. On a warm day a café can use more ice than a small machine can make, and the queue slows down while you wait for the next batch. Bagged ice from Nice Ice fills that gap: 12 kg bags of cube or crushed ice, made in our London factory and delivered next day.
Which ice to use
- Cube ice – iced coffee, cold brew, iced tea and soft drinks.
- Crushed ice – blended drinks, smoothies, frappés and slushy-style serves.
- 2 kg bags – easy to store in small freezers behind the counter.
Ordering for a café
Many cafés keep a few bags as back-up for their own ice machine and order more when the weather turns warm. Order by 5pm for next-day delivery, Monday to Saturday, and choose a morning slot to have ice in before the lunchtime rush. Regular customers can open a trade account.

Storing bagged ice
Keep bags flat in a freezer and break up any clumps by dropping the bag gently before opening. If you have no freezer space, an insulated cool box will hold ice for most of a day. Read how long ice lasts in a cooler for more.
