A trade show coffee booth is one of the most effective ways to draw a queue. Attendees walk the hall looking for a reason to stop, a real espresso bar gives them one, and your team gets ninety seconds of conversation while the drink is made.
We run high-volume service at DC conferences and conventions from a compact footprint on a standard power drop, which is usually what the venue cares about most.
How exhibitors use the cart
Booth activation
A working espresso bar that draws a queue into your stand.
Registration and keynote mornings
The first hour, when everyone arrives at once.
Sponsor lounges
A quieter setup, where conversations have time to finish.
Exhibitor breakfasts
Before the hall opens, for the people working it.

Designed around booth traffic
The drink is the hook, and the wait is the opportunity. We set the cart so the queue forms inside your booth, and we keep the menu short so every drink lands quickly.
Branded cups turn every drink into something that walks the hall for the rest of the day. We do custom cups on compostable stock, and for larger stands we can arrange full custom cart branding in your colors.
Convention center logistics
Load-in windows at convention centers are tight and strictly enforced. The cart moves on wheels, fits standard freight elevators and clears normal doorways, so we get in and set up inside a typical slot.
We run on a standard 110V drop, which is what most venues prefer. Where a stand has no power ordered, we bring a silent inverter generator instead. Tell us which when you book and we will size it correctly.
We are fully permitted and insured. Where the hall or the venue asks a vendor for a permit or an approval of its own, we confirm what it needs with you as part of the quote.
Multi-day stands
For a show running more than one day we restock flavors and beans overnight and arrive before the hall opens. Flavors are made in small batches in the week of the event, so day three tastes like day one.
How our service works
Every event gets a custom quote based on guests, hours, location and add-ons. For a stand that means hours on the hall floor, expected footfall, the staffing that needs, and your branding.
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

Conferences & trade shows FAQ
How much space does the cart need on a stand?
The cart needs a 5 ft by 5 ft area. That fits inside a standard booth with room to queue past it, so you can hold the spot on your stand plan before we quote.
Can you work within a convention center load-in window?
Yes. The cart is on wheels, fits a freight elevator and sets up in under an hour, which fits the slots most halls allocate. Send us your move-in time and we will work to it.
Do we need to order power for the stand?
A standard 110V drop is the simplest option and what most venues prefer. Where a stand has no power ordered, we run on a silent inverter generator instead. Tell us which when you book so we size it correctly.
Can the cups carry our branding?
Yes. Custom cups are the cheapest piece of it, and full custom cart branding does the most work for a stand being photographed across a hall. Custom cups and custom cart branding need 14 business days from approved artwork.
Printed cups, for artwork with fine lettering or more than one colour, are quoted on top and sit on the same schedule.
What about multi-day shows?
We restock beans, milk and flavors overnight and arrive before the hall opens. Flavors are made in small batches in the week of the show, so day three tastes like day one.

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! ✨😍✨

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!
