A branded coffee cart turns a free drink into something people photograph. For a launch, a pop-up or an influencer event, the cup is the thing that ends up on camera, so it is worth getting right.
We work with brand and experiential teams across the DMV to put a real espresso bar inside an activation, with the cart, the cups and the menu built to your campaign.
Where activations use us
Product launches
The drink people hold while they look at the thing you made.
Retail pop-ups
A reason to come in, and a reason to stay long enough to look.
Press and influencer days
A cup that photographs in your colors.
Experiential marketing
A working bar inside the build, serving real drinks.

How far the branding goes
At the simplest level we put your mark onto compostable cups. Beyond that, we can brand the cart itself, write a custom menu board in your wording, and name drinks after the thing you are launching.
The coffee carries as much weight as the branding. The bar is locally roasted single-origin espresso with flavors we make ourselves, and matcha and hojicha come off the same cart as an add-on, so the cup people photograph is one they want to finish.
Color, menu and the shot list
Send us the palette and we will build drinks that photograph in it. A fruit matcha layers colour under green in a clear cup, a citrus tonic sits bright and clear, and cold foam takes a dusting of cacao cleanly. The flavors available move with the season, and a custom one made for the campaign is an add-on.
If you have a photographer on site, tell us the shot list and we will time the builds so each drink is at its best when the camera is on it.
Working with agencies
We are used to running as one line item inside a larger production. We are fully permitted and insured. We carry commercial general liability insurance and provide a certificate for the venue, we work to a call sheet, and we flag early if a space is too tight for the cart.
Custom cups and custom cart branding need 14 business days from approved artwork. On an activation that usually means artwork signed off three weeks before the date, so bring us in while the creative is still being approved rather than after.
How our service works
Every event gets a custom quote based on guests, hours, location and add-ons. For an activation the branding, the hours and the expected volume do most of the work.
Always included
Both of us behind the cart · Unlimited espresso drinks · Our standard house-made flavors · Vanilla cold foam · Black, green and herbal tea · Organic oat and almond milk · Compostable cups · Full setup and breakdown · Fully permitted and insured, with a COI for your venue
Where we serve
From Capitol Hill to Baltimore, we bring the cart to you. Pick your city for local venues and setup details. Not on the list? We travel beyond the DMV too, just ask.
Brand activations FAQ
How far in advance do you need artwork?
Custom cups and custom cart branding need 14 business days from approved artwork. So the artwork needs to be signed off about three weeks before the activation, and earlier than that if the brief is still moving.
Tell us at enquiry if branding matters and we will work backwards from your date to a sign-off deadline you can hold your agency to.
Can you build drinks to match our palette?
Yes, and they taste as good as they look. A fruit matcha layers colour under green in a clear cup, a citrus tonic reads bright and clear, and cacao foam gives you a deep brown. The flavors available move with the season, and a custom one made for the campaign is an add-on.
Do you work to a call sheet with an agency?
Regularly. We run as one line item inside a larger production, we work to the schedule you give us, and we flag early if a space is too tight for the cart.
What does the venue need from you?
Usually a certificate of insurance, which we provide from our commercial general liability cover, and one standard outlet. We are fully permitted and insured. Where the site asks a vendor for a permit of its own, we confirm what it needs with you while we quote.

Read more of Samuel Shon’s reviewLoomie coffee was catering for an event and the owner was working the coffee bar himself. They did a fantastic job providing drinks to a group of 50+ guests, not to mention the variety of drinks they offered. Their syrups and flavorings are made in house and taste exceptional. Highly recommend!

Read more of Marcus H’s reviewI encountered the entourage of Loomie Coffee at a wedding I was doing video for, and they are very talented at their barista arts. Highly recommend booking them for your wedding! Your guests will thank you and the lines will be long. Don't underestimate the ability to give your wedding guests a tasty boost! They'll remember it forever!
Alexis Belmonte October 2026
Read more of Alexis Belmonte’s reviewGreat coffee with fun seasonal flavors. Having southern cobbler flavors is crazy to me. They are phenomenal. I believe they are Turkish and they use their rich culture to influence their flavors. All syrups are made in-house, and they only use organic ingredients. If you have questions they will explain their flavors to you and you might even get some samples of their delicious syrups and cold foam. This is my favorite coffee in the area and I make sure to visit them whenever they are at a nearby farmers market.

Nafisa Nowshin Ahmed June 2026
Read more of Nafisa Nowshin Ahmed’s reviewIncredible coffee, made by two of the warmest people you will meet! The flavor pairings are unique and work beautifully with the coffee roast. We tried the Banana Bread Cap Hazelnut Latte and the Hojicha Latte, which was easily the best we have ever had. The founders could not have been kinder, making us feel truly welcomed. Can’t wait to visit our local caffeine dealer and see the Loomie duo in full bloom! ✨😍✨

Olivia Shamy May 2026
Read more of Olivia Shamy’s reviewLoomie Coffee is the BEST! Sezer and Ozlem created such an amazing experience for our event. They prepared handcrafted matcha drinks with thoughtfully crafted flavors — the strawberry matcha was incredible. Beyond the drinks themselves, they brought such a warm, welcoming energy and made everything feel elevated and special. Could not recommend them more for events!
