Venues we serve in National Harbor
The venues here are mostly hotels, and large ones. The Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center hosts national conferences in its exhibit halls and ballrooms. MGM National Harbor has its own event spaces up the hill. The Westin Washington National Harbor and the AC Hotel National Harbor host smaller meetings and receptions on the waterfront.
Hotel venues usually control food and beverage, so the first question is always theirs: will they allow an outside coffee vendor, and on what terms. Ask your event manager, and we send whatever they need from us.

Hotel rules come first
Most convention hotels have an exclusive catering contract. Many still approve an outside specialty vendor for an exhibitor booth or a sponsored break, and some charge a fee for it. That decision is the hotel’s, and it is worth asking before anything else.
Once the venue says yes, the rest is routine: a certificate of insurance naming the hotel, a load-in time at the dock, and an outlet at the booth or the break station.
We are fully permitted and insured.
Booths, breaks and sponsor moments
At a big conference a coffee cart is a sponsor’s best tool. A branded cup, a menu in your colours and a line at your booth during the morning break do more than a banner. Custom cups and cart branding need 14 business days from approved artwork, so start early.
For a meeting break the brief is speed: the room empties at once and everyone wants a drink in the same ten minutes. We staff every event to fit your guest count and service window, and we confirm it in your quote.
The waterfront and the Plaza
Outside the hotels, the waterfront and the Plaza suit brand activations and sampling days. Public and common areas have their own rules from the property, and we confirm what the site needs with you while we quote.
Power outdoors comes from our silent inverter generator, so the cart can stand by the water rather than by a wall socket.
National Harbor, MD coffee catering FAQ
Will the Gaylord or another hotel let you serve?
That is the hotel’s decision, so ask your event manager first. Many approve an outside specialty vendor for a booth or sponsored break, sometimes for a fee. We provide insurance and anything else they require.
Can you brand the cart and cups for our booth?
Yes. Custom cups and cart branding need 14 business days from approved artwork, and branding is quoted along with the rest of the event.
Can you serve outdoors on the waterfront?
Yes, with the property’s approval. The generator runs the cart, and we confirm the site’s requirements 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.

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.

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! ✨😍✨

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!
