Coffee catering for events means someone brings a working café to you: a cart, a commercial espresso machine, a grinder, and a barista who makes each drink when it is ordered.
That is what Loomie Coffee does across Washington DC, Northern Virginia and Maryland. We are a husband-and-wife team, we take the bookings ourselves, and both of us are behind the cart on the day.
How it works
You send the details
Date, guest count, venue and what you are celebrating.
We send a quote
One figure covering baristas, drinks, setup and breakdown.
You reserve the date
A signed agreement and a deposit hold it, both agreed in writing first.
We show up and pour
Cart styled, flavors made that week, and both of us behind it.
Poured for teams at
What arrives, and what it needs
The cart rolls in on wheels, fits through a standard commercial doorway and goes up in a freight elevator. Setup takes under an hour and breakdown is quicker. We bring everything: machine, grinder, beans, milk, syrups, cups, lids, napkins and a menu board.
Power is one standard 110V outlet. For a tented lawn, a park pavilion or a garden, we bring a silent inverter generator, which runs quietly enough for a ceremony or a speech.
The espresso bar, and what you can add to it
The booking is an espresso bar: locally roasted single-origin espresso ground and pulled per drink, the standard flavors we make ourselves from organic cane sugar, vanilla cold foam whisked on the cart, and organic oat and almond milk alongside whole dairy.
From there you choose. Organic ceremonial matcha hand-whisked with a bamboo chasen, roasted hojicha, cold brew, decaf espresso, more flavors and more cold foam are all add-ons that come off the same cart and sit inside the same single figure.
The flavor list moves with the season, which is why the menu is the place to read it rather than this page.
What unlimited drinks means
For the hours you book, guests drink as much as they want. Half of what makes a cart work is people coming back for a second and third drink, so we price it that way.
Both of us pour at every event, and we are the owners rather than agency staff. We staff every event to fit your guest count and service window, and we confirm it in your quote.
Coffee cart catering, coffee bar catering: the same cart
These are the same thing, and which one you type depends on who you last heard say it. Caterers and venues tend to write "coffee bar catering" on a run sheet; couples and office managers tend to search for a coffee cart. Mobile coffee catering is the term the trade uses for all of it.
There is one booking behind every one of those words, and it is this one: the cart, both baristas, the whole espresso menu, and unlimited drinks for the hours you choose. If you came here with a different phrase in mind, you are in the right place.
Looking for a coffee cart rental?
We do not rent out the cart. There is no version of this where the equipment arrives and you work out the rest: we come with it, both of us, and we make the drinks.
That is a genuine answer rather than a sales line. An espresso machine is only as good as whoever dialed the grinder in that morning, and the gap between a well-pulled shot and a badly pulled one from the same machine is most of the difference your guests will taste. Someone has to steam the milk, clear the group head between drinks, keep the queue moving and notice when the beans need regrinding.
So what you book is the service, not the hardware — and the practical upside is that nothing on the day is yours to manage. We bring the machine, the grinder, the beans, the milk, the syrups and the cups, we set up in under an hour, and we take all of it away again. Nobody on your team is responsible for a piece of equipment they met that morning.

Coffee catering FAQ
What does "unlimited drinks" mean?
For the hours you book, guests drink as much as they want from the menu you have booked. One figure covers the whole booking, because half of what makes a cart work is people coming back for a second and third drink.
What do you need from the venue?
One standard 110V outlet and a flat route in. That is all. Where a venue has no power, we bring a silent inverter generator.
How long does setup take?
Under an hour, and breakdown is quicker. We bring everything: machine, grinder, beans, milk, flavors, cups, lids, napkins and a menu board.
What is the booking process?
Send us the date, guest count and venue, and we send one all-in quote. A signed agreement and a deposit then hold the date.
Cancel more than 30 days before your event and you get a full refund, and a single-day event can be moved with at least 72 hours’ notice. Our cancellation policy has the full terms.
Can we rent just the espresso machine?
No. We do not rent out equipment, with or without the cart, so there is no setup where the machine arrives and your team runs it.
It is not a policy we are being precious about. A machine makes the drink the person at it makes: the grinder has to be dialed in that morning, the milk has to be steamed per cup, and the group head has to be cleared between drinks. Hiring the machine without that gets you the hardware and none of the result.
If what you actually want is the people, that is still this booking. See barista for hire — the cart and everything on it comes with them.

Samuel Shon November 2026
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! ✨😍✨
Shannon Cooper June 2026
Read more of Shannon Cooper’s reviewFantastic service and quality! We hired Loomie Coffee for a mobile matcha and coffee bar cart event for our team at Capital One. Ozlem and Sezer were an absolute pleasure to work with. The cold foams and homemade organic syrups were incredible! They effortlessly managed serving a high volume of guests. Highly recommend using Loomie for your next event!
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!

Not sure what to call it?
People ask for the same cart under half a dozen names, and several of these are one booking with a different word in front of it. Whichever one you came in with, here is the page that answers it.
