Why local is easier

Sarasota is home, so the drive is on us

The cart, up close

A mobile espresso bar that fits where a truck can’t

People search for a coffee truck, a mobile coffee bar or an espresso bar rental. What we bring is a compact espresso cart, so it works indoors and out: offices, ballrooms, living rooms, gallery floors, lawns and pool decks.

When you rent the cart you get a trained barista who pulls every shot to order and dresses for your event. The menu covers lattes, cappuccinos, mochas, espresso, chai, hot chocolate and Smith Tea, hot or iced, with whole and oat milk and syrups made in small batches with organic ingredients. Almond milk and decaf are on request.

Planning by season

When to book a coffee cart in Sarasota

Sarasota’s calendar shapes both availability and the menu. Here is how the year tends to go for event coffee.

  1. Winter and spring

    Peak season, book early

    The busiest stretch for weddings, galas and visiting family. Weekends fill first, so reach out as soon as your date is set.

  2. Summer

    Iced drinks and shade

    Iced lattes, cold brew and sparkling lavender lemonade carry hot afternoons. Outdoor setups need shade or a cover, and an indoor backup spot helps on stormy days.

  3. Fall

    Office mornings and campus events

    Teams settle back in after summer, so fall brings office coffee mornings, client events and school gatherings. A weekday morning is an easy way to try the cart.

  4. Holidays

    Holiday parties fill fast

    November and December are packed with office and family parties. Mochas, chai, hot chocolate and an affogato bar suit the season.

Questions

Sarasota coffee cart rental FAQ

Still deciding? Call (941) 977-2344 or send your date and we will reply within 24 hours.

How much does it cost to rent a coffee cart in Sarasota?

It depends on guest count, hours of service and your menu. Travel is included in Sarasota, so your quote covers the cart, the barista and the drinks. Send your date and headcount and we will send a custom proposal within 24 hours.

Is there a travel fee for Sarasota events?

No. Every package includes up to 60 miles of travel, which covers Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Venice and North Port.

What is the difference between a coffee cart and a coffee truck?

A truck needs a parking spot and serves from a window. Our espresso cart is about 5 by 5 feet, rolls inside and plugs into one standard outlet, so it works in offices, ballrooms and homes as well as outdoors.

How much space and power does the coffee cart need?

About 5 by 5 feet, one dedicated 110V outlet and a cart-friendly path to your spot. The cart carries its own water, and we bring extension cords.

Can the coffee cart set up outside or at a beach house?

Yes. Outdoors we need shade or a cover and a flat, firm spot like a patio, pool deck or lawn. Beach house and backyard setups work well.

How far ahead should I book?

As soon as you have a date. Weekends, holidays and Sarasota’s winter season fill first. We confirm availability within 24 hours.

Do you have drinks for guests who skip coffee?

Yes. Chai, matcha, hot chocolate, Smith Tea and our sparkling lavender lemonade. Decaf and almond milk are available on request.

Can you put our names or logo on the cart and cups?

Yes. Signage, cups and menu cards can carry names, a monogram, party colors or your company logo.
