Frequently Asked Questions Bay Area Residents Ask Before Saying "Yes!" to Unforgettable Coffee Cart Catering
Where in San Francisco do you serve?
Our coffee cart catering covers the entire Bay Area. From the bustling streets of Downtown to the tech campuses of Silicon Valley, from Hayes Valley to the vibrant Mission District, we're there for your event. We serve San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, San Jose, Palo Alto, and everywhere in between.
We also offer our top-tier coffee cart catering, breakfast catering, and brunch catering services throughout the Bay Area, including San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties.
What do you need in terms of setup?
We're experts at mobile coffee catering in San Francisco, adapting to various venues from outdoor venues like Golden Gate Park to high-rise offices in the Financial District.
Here's all we need:
A 5x5-foot space for each coffee cart rental (about the size of a small San Francisco parking spot)
One dedicated circuit of power for each mobile coffee cart
A wheelchair-accessible location
A point of contact at the event to guide our baristas
Our mobile espresso bars come fully equipped, even with their own sinks - perfect for those locations where water access might be tricky!
Do you cater outdoor events in San Francisco?
Absolutely! From rooftop parties in SoMa to weddings at the Presidio, we love bringing our mobile espresso bars to outdoor events. However, in case of inclement weather, we might need to reschedule or move indoors.
For outdoor events in San Francisco, we require:
A covering or awning for shade and weather protection (essential for those foggy Bay Area days)
When temperatures drop below 60°F (which happens often in San Francisco!), we may need additional heating arrangements
What's included in your San Francisco coffee cart catering service?
We provide everything needed for a premium coffee experience: a team of skilled San Francisco based baristas, a fully-stocked coffee cart with freshly-roasted beans, a variety of milks (including favorites like oat and almond), and flavor syrups to create the perfect cup.
Your quote includes unlimited drinks for your guests during the event, travel within the Bay Area, full mobile coffee cart setup, and breakdown. Any add-ons like custom branding with your company's logo or San Francisco-themed latte art will be clearly priced upfront.
How much does it cost to rent a coffee cart in San Francisco?
Pricing depends on several factors, including guest count, service hours, menu selection, staffing, setup logistics, and travel. Optional add-ons—like custom branding, specialty flavors, non-dairy milks, or extended service—can also affect the final cost.
On average, most San Francisco events fall between $500 and $2,000 total, which typically works out to about $5–$11 per guest, depending on the package and duration.
For an exact, itemized quote based on your event date, guest count, and location, you can use our Instant Price Quote tool, which also shows live availability.
Is it better to rent or buy coffee catering equipment?
Whether it’s better to rent or buy coffee catering equipment depends on your needs. Renting is ideal for one-time or occasional events since it provides café-quality drinks, trained baristas, and full setup without ongoing costs—usually about $500–$2,000 per event ($5–$11 per guest). Buying makes sense for frequent use but requires a $5,000–$20,000+ upfront investment, staff training, storage, power, and maintenance.
Rent if:
You’re planning a one-time or occasional event (weddings, conferences, brand activations).
You need reliable, café-quality drinks without managing equipment, supplies, or staffing.
Your venue has standard power and limited space—our carts fit in about a 5x5 ft area and only need a standard outlet.
You want turnkey setup/breakdown, insurance, and trained baristas who can serve 50–100 drinks per hour per barista.
Buy if:
You’ll host frequent, recurring events and have trained staff to operate and maintain the gear.
You can support the logistics: power requirements (often dedicated 15–20A circuits), water filtration, storage, transport, and ongoing maintenance.
You’re prepared for additional needs like grinders on separate circuits, alternative milks, syrups, and backup equipment.
What types of coffee are best for catering?
For catering, the best options are a mix of espresso drinks (lattes, cappuccinos, americanos, mochas), cold brew or iced coffee, freshly brewed drip, and alternatives like chai, matcha, or hot chocolate. Seasonal or signature drinks can match your event theme, and offering dairy-free milk ensures everyone’s included.
The best catering menus strike a balance between variety and efficiency. Popular options include:
Espresso-based drinks: Lattes, cappuccinos, americanos, mochas, and cortados for a full café experience. These can be customized with flavors and alternative milks.
Cold brew & iced coffee: Perfect for outdoor or warm-weather events. Cold brew is smooth and less acidic, while iced espresso drinks are crowd favorites.
Drip coffee: Freshly brewed regular and decaf for quick service and classic coffee drinkers.
Teas & specialty alternatives: Chai, matcha, hot chocolate, and artisanal teas to include non-coffee drinkers and kids.
Seasonal or signature drinks: Event-themed creations like lavender lattes in spring, maple pecan in fall, peppermint mochas in winter, or a branded “signature latte.”
Pro tips:
Always offer at least one dairy-free milk (oat and almond are most popular).
For all-day events, mix hot and cold options.
Keep menus to 4–6 drinks for fast service while still giving guests variety.
How far in advance should I book coffee catering in San Francisco?
We recommend booking 2–4 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and finalize logistics. For peak times—like weekday mornings, Thursdays and Fridays, and the holiday season—4–6 weeks ahead is best.
We can often handle last-minute requests if our schedule allows, but the earlier you book, the better for staffing and custom options.
