Before you ask
Good questions
What does the cart need for power?
One dedicated 110V outlet (15–20 amp) within about 25 feet of our setup spot — dedicated meaning not shared with the DJ, lighting, or the photo booth. That’s it. If your venue or backyard doesn’t have power nearby, just tell us; we can bring a quiet generator.
Do you need a water hookup?
No — the cart is fully self-contained. We arrive with everything we need, water included, so we can set up in the middle of a lawn as easily as in a catering kitchen.
How much space does the cart take up?
Plan on roughly 6 by 6 feet for the cart and barista to work comfortably; the cart itself runs about 8 by 4. It looks best set against a wall, hedge, or backdrop, but we’ve made a happy home in plenty of corners.
Can you set up indoors? What about weather?
Both, gladly. The cart rolls through standard doorways and sets up indoors or out. Outdoors, we pour rain or shine with a covered setup — and if severe weather cancels your event outright, we reschedule in good faith rather than leave you stuck.
How long do setup and breakdown take?
About 45 minutes to set up and 30 to break down — and neither is ever counted against your service hours. If you book two hours of coffee, you get two full hours of coffee.
Are you insured?
Yes — we carry general liability insurance, and we’re glad to send a certificate of insurance directly to your venue on request. Most coordinators ask; we’re ready.
How does booking work? Is there a deposit?
A deposit holds your date, with the balance due about a week before the event. We recommend reaching out 4 to 8 weeks ahead, though last-minute gatherings are welcome whenever the calendar allows.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included across Los Angeles and surrounding areas. Beyond that, a modest travel fee may apply — always disclosed upfront in your proposal, never a surprise.
Is there a guest minimum?
None. We’ve poured for intimate open houses and 300-cup receptions with equal care. Tell us the shape of your day and we’ll size the cart to fit.
