Top Shopify Agencies For Food And Beverage Brands In 2026

Hiring a Shopify agency for food and beverage brands is a different decision from hiring a general web studio, because food and drink stores live or die on repeat orders, shipping rules, freshness windows and wholesale accounts that a standard apparel build never has to think about. A coffee roaster needs a subscription flow that customers can pause without calling support. A wine merchant needs age checks and inventory filters that make sense of vintages and varietals. A flour mill or a frozen food brand needs B2B pricing living next to retail checkout without the two getting in each other’s way.
That is why food and beverage ecommerce rewards agencies that have already shipped this work. The firms below were chosen because their own websites show named food and drink clients or a published food and beverage practice, and because each works on Shopify or Shopify Plus as a core platform. Some are subscription specialists, some are enterprise Shopify Plus partners, and some are smaller studios that fit growing brands.
We also looked at how each shop handles the pieces that matter most to consumable brands: subscription apps such as Recharge, Skio and Loop, B2B and wholesale setups, local pickup, and site speed. If you are still deciding which subscription tool to run, our guide to the best Shopify subscription apps covers the options in detail, and any Shopify agency on this page should be able to explain which one suits your catalog.

Best Shopify Agencies For Food And Beverage Brands In 2026
1. Realm — Shopify Only Since 2012, With Wine, Flour And B2B Food Builds
Realm is a Minnesota-based Shopify agency with its mailing address in Duluth. The company has been building websites since 2007 and became a 100% Shopify-only agency in 2012, and its site points to more than 14 years of Shopify expertise. It says it was one of the first handful of designers listed on Shopify Experts, and it now carries a Shopify Plus Experts badge. Its counters show 259 shops helped, 78,962 clocked hours and 122 five-star reviews, and it reports a referral rate of up to 80% from past clients.
The food and beverage portfolio is unusually varied for a studio of its size. For SYLTBAR, a Miami wine brand, Realm delivered a Shopify Plus store with subscriptions built in. For European Wine Resource it produced a bespoke build with complex inventory filtering, the kind of catalog work wine sellers need when shoppers search by region, grape and producer. Crust Busters, a food business in Monticello, Minnesota, runs B2B memberships on the store Realm built, and Sunrise Flour Mill sits among its Shopify Plus clients.
Subscription commerce is a real strength here rather than a bolt-on. Beyond SYLTBAR, Realm has handled subscription work for Acoustic Remedy Cases, and its marketing team works with retention tools such as Klaviyo, Omnisend, Growave, Stamped.io, Loox and Refersion. That matters for consumables, where the second and third order usually carry the margin. Realm can also connect stores to Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Walmart and Handshake, which suits food makers selling wholesale to independent retailers. For B2B food brands like Crust Busters, Realm’s theme work covers wholesale setup, custom carts, filters and customer groups, so trade buyers and retail shoppers can use the same store without seeing each other’s prices.
Pricing is published, which is rare in this category. Builds start at $20k for the “Start-up right” package and $40k for “Grow,” with enterprise work quoted separately. SEO starts at $4k, email and SMS marketing from $7k, and Google Ads is quoted per project.
Services and expertise: Shopify and Shopify Plus builds, subscription setup, B2B wholesale and customer groups, custom checkouts and ERP integrations on Plus, migrations from Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce and others, SEO, email and SMS, Google Shopping and paid social.
Anatta describes itself as an enterprise Shopify agency that runs on agentic delivery, and its site lists an Austin, Texas address. It is one of five founding North American Shopify Platinum Partners, and it holds elite partnerships with Recharge and Klaviyo, which is a useful signal for any food brand whose economics depend on subscriptions and email.
The client roster leans heavily toward consumables. Anatta names Nuts.com, Good Ranchers, Trade Coffee and HelloFresh among its food and beverage clients, along with wellness brands such as AG1, Bare Performance Nutrition and Momentous. Those are high-order-volume replenishment businesses, the same kind of operations that mid-market food brands grow into.
Anatta is built for brands that already have scale or are about to. It works as a long-term engineering and design partner rather than a one-off build shop, so it tends to suit companies that want continuous releases, testing and subscription optimization rather than a single launch.
For a growing food company, the value of an agency like Anatta is in the operating model. Replenishment brands need constant small improvements, such as better skip and swap flows, smarter bundles and cleaner post-purchase upsells, and those gains compound over months. A partner that already runs that cadence for Trade Coffee and Nuts.com can bring proven patterns instead of experimenting on your store.
Services and expertise: Enterprise Shopify Plus development, subscription programs with Recharge, Klaviyo lifecycle work, design and ongoing optimization for high-volume DTC brands.
3. Eleven — Subscription-Led Shopify Builds For Kickback Coffee And Vita Coco
Eleven is a design-led Shopify agency for direct-to-consumer subscription and high-growth brands, working from London and Brighton. It runs a dedicated food and drink practice, and its own framing is blunt: subscriptions are the heartbeat of food and beverage DTC.
The named client list backs that up. Eleven has worked with Kickback Coffee, JENKI Matcha, Trip Drinks, Days Work, Pure Earth, Vita Coco and Klyk. The agency builds with Recharge, Skio and Loop to lift conversion, reduce churn and scale recurring revenue, so it is comfortable choosing between the major Shopify subscription apps rather than defaulting to one.
Eleven sets clear expectations on timing, quoting 8 to 12 weeks for a typical launch, and structures projects in four stages: Audit, Brand, Build, and Maintain + Grow. It works with start-ups, scaling brands and established businesses, which makes it a sensible shortlist pick for a new drinks or coffee brand that wants brand and store handled together.
Services and expertise: Shopify design and build for food and drink brands, subscription strategy on Recharge, Skio and Loop, brand work, audits and post-launch growth retainers.
4. XgenTech — Shopify Only Since 2012, With Owen’s Mixers And Drink Yuza Builds
XgenTech was founded in 2012 and is rooted in New York. It works exclusively in the Shopify ecosystem, has been a Shopify Partner for more than 14 years, and says it has launched more than 320 Shopify stores.
Its portfolio has a dedicated Food & Drinks tag, which makes it easy to review the relevant work. Named projects include Owen’s Mixers, Drink Yuza, Buon Giorno Coffee, Goldys and Single Thread Farm. That spread runs from cocktail mixers and citrus drinks to specialty coffee and a farm-to-table brand, so the team has handled both packaged beverages and more editorial, story-driven food sites.
For a brand that wants a Shopify-only specialist without the overhead of an enterprise agency, XgenTech is a practical option. Its long focus on one platform means fewer surprises when it comes to themes, apps and checkout.
The food and drink projects in its portfolio also show range in presentation. A mixer brand needs recipe content and pairing suggestions that push shoppers toward multi-packs, while a farm or restaurant brand needs storytelling that justifies premium pricing. Reviewing those tagged builds side by side is a quick way to judge whether XgenTech’s design sense matches your brand.
Services and expertise: Shopify and Shopify Plus design and development, theme customization, store launches, migrations and ongoing Shopify support.
5. Bear Group — Shopify Plus And ReCharge Rollout For Fresh Meal Plan
Bear Group is based in Seattle and Charleston, with 43 team members across its locations. It builds commerce sites on Shopify Plus as well as Magento and Drupal, and positions itself as a digital partner for ecommerce strategy and optimization.
The standout food project is Fresh Meal Plan. Bear guided the brand in selecting Shopify Plus, ReCharge and the apps around them, then refreshed its branding and identity, extending that work into packaging and photography. For a prepared-meal business, where orders are recurring by nature, that combination of platform choice, subscription tooling and brand is the whole job in one engagement. Bear also lists Athletic Brewing Company and Sitka Food Market among its clients.
Bear suits food brands that want strategic help choosing their stack, not just someone to build what they have already decided. Its platform range also helps if you are weighing Shopify Plus against staying on another system.
Services and expertise: Shopify Plus design and builds, subscription app selection, branding and packaging, photography, ecommerce strategy and optimization.
6. Irish Titan — Minneapolis Agency Behind White Oak Pastures On Shopify Plus
Irish Titan is a Minneapolis ecommerce agency that partners with Shopify, BigCommerce and Shopware. It works to strategize, design and develop full-service ecommerce channels, and its case studies are full of food producers.
The clearest example is White Oak Pastures, a regenerative farm selling direct to consumers. The brand came to Irish Titan with a site that was difficult to change, slow and expensive to run. After the move to Shopify Plus, Irish Titan reports revenue up 28%, average order value up 18%, sessions up 167% and sales attributed to marketing up 13%. The agency also lists ABC Fine Wines on Shopify, plus Burnett Dairy, Captain White’s Seafood and the beverage company Trail Magic among its clients.
Because Irish Titan also works on BigCommerce, it can give an honest comparison if you are not sure Shopify is the right fit. Its Surdyk’s project, a fourth-generation liquor store moved off Magento 1, ran on BigCommerce, which shows the team matches platform to the client.
Services and expertise: Shopify Plus builds and migrations, ecommerce strategy, design, development and growth marketing for food, wine and agricultural brands.
7. Novatize — Quebec Shopify Plus Partner For Fromagerie Bergeron And Exceldor
Novatize is headquartered in Quebec City with offices in Montreal and New York. It is a Shopify Plus Partner that also delivers Hydrogen builds on Shopify Plus, and it reports more than 300 projects delivered since 2014 with a team of about 50.
Its case studies include several food and beverage businesses on Shopify: the cheesemaker Fromagerie Bergeron, the poultry cooperative Exceldor Coopérative, and the beverage retailer Statera. The site also shows logos for Nespresso, Constellation Brands and Mark Anthony Group. Novatize publishes industry pages for manufacturing, distribution and wholesale, retail and unified commerce, and DTC.
That mix makes Novatize a strong pick for food producers who sell through more than one channel, such as a co-op that serves distributors, grocers and consumers from the same catalog. It is also a natural fit for brands selling in French and English across Canada.
Services and expertise: Shopify Plus and Hydrogen builds, B2B and wholesale commerce, ERP and system integrations, migrations and unified commerce for producers and retailers.
8. Pluro — London Shopify Plus Studio For Hawkstone And DrinkWell
Pluro is a London Shopify Plus agency focused on high-growth ecommerce businesses. It publishes a food and beverage vertical alongside fashion and lifestyle and health and wellness.
Its case studies name several drinks and food brands. Hawkstone, the beer and cider brand founded by Jeremy Clarkson, is a Pluro client, as are the better-for-you alcohol brand DrinkWell and the plant-based milk makers Numilk and Milky Plant. The agency also lists Kollo Health, a liquid collagen brand, which sits close to the functional drinks category.
Pluro runs projects through audits and discovery, custom builds that typically take 8 to 16 weeks, and growth retainers after launch. That structure suits a UK drinks brand that wants a clear build phase followed by ongoing conversion and feature work.
The mix of alcohol, plant-based milk and supplement brands in its portfolio also means Pluro is used to the different regulatory and messaging needs of each category, from age confirmation on beer and cider to careful product claims on functional drinks.
Services and expertise: Shopify Plus builds, ecommerce audits, website discovery, custom development and growth retainers for DTC food and drink brands.
9. EcomExperts — Montreal Speed Specialists For Happy Coffee And Prevail Jerky
EcomExperts is a Montreal Shopify development team best known for performance work, though it also handles design, development, conversion optimization and multi-store Shopify Plus setups. It says it has shipped more than 100 Shopify brands and reports a 43-month average client retention.
Its case studies include a run of food and drink stores: Happy Coffee, Priya’s Teas, Prevail Jerky and Little Seed Farm, alongside Supergut. On Happy Coffee, the team traced slowdowns to app scripts, inlined critical CSS, preloaded styles, deferred off-screen images and removed three unused apps out of fifteen. Mobile PageSpeed went from 16 to 93 and desktop from 34 to 96, with the optimization finished in under a day.
Speed matters more for food brands than most owners expect, because subscription widgets, reviews, bundles and upsell apps all add scripts to product pages. EcomExperts is a good choice when a store already works but has become heavy.
Services and expertise: Shopify speed and Core Web Vitals optimization, conversion rate optimization, custom Shopify builds and theme development, Shopify Plus multi-store work.
10. Dynamic Dreamz — Surat Shopify Platinum Partner Behind Nekter Juice Bar’s Pickup Flow
Dynamic Dreamz is a development company with offices in Surat and Ahmedabad, India. It describes itself as a Shopify Platinum Partner, runs a dedicated food and beverage Shopify Plus page, and says it has more than 20 years in business, a team of 150+ and over 5,000 projects delivered.
Its featured food case study is Nekter Juice Bar, where the team delivered a Shopify redesign with streamlined ordering and multi-location store pickup. That is a specific and useful capability for restaurant groups, juice bars and cafés that want online orders collected in store rather than shipped.
Dynamic Dreamz also sells blocks of Shopify development hours for fixes and ongoing work, which suits brands that need a dependable development bench after launch without committing to a large retainer. It is a BigCommerce Partner too.
Services and expertise: Shopify and Shopify Plus development, redesigns, multi-location ordering and pickup, SEO-ready builds and flexible development hours.
How To Choose A Shopify Agency For Food And Beverage Brands
Have they built subscriptions for consumables before?
Ask to see live stores where customers can skip, swap and pause deliveries, and ask which app each one runs on. A good Shopify agency will have an opinion on Recharge, Skio, Loop or Shopify’s native options and will explain the tradeoffs for your order frequency and catalog. If you sell coffee, tea, snacks or supplements, subscription experience should be a hard requirement, not a nice-to-have.
Can they handle B2B and wholesale next to DTC?
Many food brands sell to cafés, grocers and distributors as well as consumers. Check whether the agency has set up customer groups, wholesale pricing, minimum order rules and net terms on Shopify or Shopify Plus. Our list of top Shopify agencies for B2B and wholesale e-commerce is a useful companion if wholesale is a big part of your revenue.
Do they understand shipping, freshness and compliance?
Perishables need shipping rules by zone, cutoff days and cold-chain messaging. Alcohol needs age gates and state or country restrictions. Ask how the agency has solved these for past clients, and whether they plan the setup of taxes, delivery zones and local pickup as part of the build rather than leaving it to you.
Will the store stay fast as you add apps?
Food and beverage ecommerce stores collect apps quickly: subscriptions, reviews, bundles, loyalty and upsells. Ask how the agency tests page speed before and after launch and who owns performance once the store is live. An agency that can point to measured improvements is worth more than one that simply promises a fast theme.
Is Shopify Plus necessary for your stage?
Plus unlocks custom checkouts, B2B features and ERP integrations, but not every brand needs it on day one. A smaller roaster or bakery can grow well on standard Shopify, while a multi-channel producer may need Plus sooner. For a deeper look at the enterprise tier, see our roundup of Shopify Plus agencies for high-volume merchants.
Conclusion
The right Shopify agency for food and beverage brands depends on how you sell. If recurring orders drive your business, favor partners with proven subscription builds and a clear view on which Shopify subscription apps fit your catalog. If you sell wholesale as well as direct, look for B2B experience on Shopify Plus. And if your store already exists but feels slow, a performance specialist may deliver more than a rebuild.
Realm leads this list because it combines Shopify-only focus since 2012 with real food and drink work, from SYLTBAR’s subscription wine store to Crust Busters’ B2B memberships, and because it publishes its pricing up front. The other agencies here each bring verified food and beverage ecommerce experience at different scales. If you sell gifts, home goods or packaged products beyond food, our companion list of Shopify agencies for consumer goods and gift brands covers that side of the market.
