What every booking includes

Whatever the occasion, the shot is the same: 18 grams in, 36 out, pulled by someone who cares whether you like it.

  • Career baristas Not temp staff. People who talk coffee as well as they make it.
  • Everything made to order No urns, no self-serve. Every drink handed across the counter.
  • Homemade syrups Lavender, brown sugar, cardamom and seasonal flavors, made in-house.
  • Setup to breakdown We arrive early and leave nothing behind but empty cups.

Corporate

The break room, upgraded for a day.

A real espresso bar changes the texture of a workday. People linger, teams mix, clients remember the visit. We’ve served in-office appreciation weeks, all-hands mornings, conferences and expos — keeping lines short and conversations going.

Ideal for
Employee appreciation, client open houses, conferences, expos, campus events, holiday gatherings
Setup
The indoor cart rolls through standard doors and elevators; the kei truck parks outside for campus-style days
Good to know
Multi-day and recurring bookings welcome. Each bar serves around fifty drinks an hour, and we scale to headcount.

Wedding

A warm cup between “I do” and the dance floor.

Coffee at a wedding is a small kindness to your guests — something to hold during cocktail hour, a lift before the dancing, a nightcap alongside the cake. We make it feel like part of the day, not an add-on.

  • Morning-of for the wedding party getting ready
  • Cocktail hour iced lattes and espresso alongside the bar
  • With dessert cortados and cappuccinos next to the cake
  • Signature drinks named after the two of you, or your dog

Ballroom on the third floor? The cart fits. Barn or garden? The kei truck makes a charming backdrop for photos.

Brand Activation

Your brand, served through the hatch.

A converted Japanese kei truck draws a crowd on its own. Put your name on it and it becomes a stage — a reason for people to stop, sip and share. We build the drink experience around your launch, not the other way around.
