What is Mobile Coffee Catering?
Mobile coffee catering brings a fully equipped espresso bar and barista directly to your event. Instead of a back-corner drip pot, your guests order handcrafted lattes, cappuccinos, cold brew, and specialty drinks made to order, the same way they would at a high-end café. Browse our coffee catering menu to see every drink we pour.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question we didn't cover? Ask it in your quote request. We respond to every inquiry within 24 hours.
How much does coffee catering cost?
Pricing depends on guest count, event length, your drink menu, and location. Get a fast custom quote here.
How far in advance should we book?
We recommend booking 4–6 weeks out, and earlier for peak wedding and holiday dates. That said, reach out even for last-minute events. We'll always tell you honestly whether we can make it work.
What's included in coffee catering?
Everything: the cart, the espresso equipment, our small-batch roasted coffee, milk and alternatives, cups, flavors, and a trained barista (or team) to run it. We handle full setup and breakdown.
What's your service area, and do you charge for travel?
We serve Albany and the greater Capital Region, including Saratoga Springs, Schenectady, Troy, Ballston Spa, and Clifton Park. Travel within our core area is included; events farther out may include a modest travel fee, always quoted upfront.
What drinks can you offer, and can you accommodate dietary needs?
Espresso, lattes, cappuccinos, cold brew, drip, tea, and seasonal specialty drinks. We offer oat, almond, and other milk alternatives, and can build a menu around your guests' preferences. See the full menu and packages here.
What space and power do you need?
A flat space roughly 8x8 feet and access to a standard outlet covers most setups. For venues without power, we can come fully self-contained. Just let us know during planning.
Do you require a deposit, and what's your cancellation policy?
A 50% deposit reserves your date, with the balance due before the event; we'll walk you through the full terms in your quote.

OODA Max is an outstanding coffee. Another one in our rotation that we will be ordering again.
My new favorite coffee. Gates of Valor hits just right. Will be ordering more.
These beans are amazing. They grind really well, when pulling the shot they drew very smoothly with perfect coloring. The taste of this coffee is so smooth. Most definitely would be looking forward to getting another bag.

My wife and I love a robust dark roast cup of coffee anytime of day and this does not disappoint! You must try for yourself, its a win in my book!
Whether you’re kickstarting your morning or taking a mid-day break, this coffee offers a flavorful and enjoyable experience that coffee lovers will appreciate.

My mother was pleased with these filters for her Melitta pour over, as they are a perfect fit.
Surprisingly smooth for an espresso blend. What I thought would be used for an occassional espresso shot has become a daily drinker!
