The Baristas: We love our barista family! All of our baristas go through intensive training in the art of manual espresso pulling and milk steaming, and are all capable of professionally handling high-capacity events. On top of being able to make excellent coffee, our baristas are also friendly and professional, happy to walk you through drink options, teach you about espresso, and help in any way possible!
The Process: We recommend booking an event about 2 weeks in advance - 4 weeks for holidays or any events in December. Just request a quote and we'll walk you through the rest of the booking process, from the invoice, to payment, to an event confirmation two days in advance. Our event planning team prides itself on a quick response time during business hours (within 6 hours) and works hard to make things as easy as possible for you!
