Before you ask
Questions we get
If yours is not here, put it in the notes when you enquire and we will answer it properly.
How far in advance should we book?
As early as you can, especially for weekends in spring and autumn. We have one cart, so a date is gone once it is taken. We need at least forty eight hours' notice for anything, and more if you want custom branding.
How many guests can you serve?
One barista gets through roughly forty five drinks an hour. Most guests have one or two across an event, so two hours suits about sixty people and four hours suits around a hundred and twenty. Tell us your guest count and we will tell you honestly what we recommend.
What do you need from us on site?
A level surface for the cart and a standard 110V outlet within reach. Tell us about stairs, a long carry, or a loading dock with a time window when you book and we will plan for it rather than discover it on the day.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are licensed, insured and bonded, and we can send a certificate of insurance to your venue or planner. Most venues ask for one, so tell us who needs it and we will send it over.
Can we customise the drinks or the branding?
Yes. Cup sleeves can carry your name or monogram, and we are happy to talk about a drink named for the couple or the guest of honour. Ask when you enquire and we will tell you what is possible for your date.
Do you serve decaf, or drinks for people who do not drink coffee?
Yes. Ask us when you book and we will make sure there is something for everyone, including the children.
Do you travel outside Los Angeles?
We are in Huntington Park and travel is charged at two dollars a mile, there and back. Put your address into the booking form and it works the cost out for you. For anything a long way out, get in touch and we will talk it through.
What happens if it rains?
Our crew will not work in conditions that are unsafe, and umbrellas come down above twenty miles an hour. If the weather turns we will talk to you about it rather than press on. Somewhere covered is always worth having as a backup.
Does sending an enquiry hold our date?
No, and we would rather be clear about that. There is one cart and it stays available until we have spoken and taken a deposit. We will always tell you straight away if someone else is asking about the same day.
