None taken! We understand that your event means a lot to you and coffee catering can make or break your guests’ experience.
This small business was started by an ex-barista who missed making coffee so much, she went back to the hospitality scene in 2023. Hopefully we can assure you that her experience since 2017 and our past client’s positive feedback guarantees a delicious cup of coffee – the first time every time.
No, we do not charge by cups!
Our business model is to offer our clients and their event guests the freeflow experience. The hire rate will be determined by your event size, duration, menu of choice, and additional requests.
Tldr: We quote by the hour, not cups.
We require a deposit that is 50% of your expected quote (for over $1,000) or $299 (for under $1,000).
Deposit payment is required to lock in your booking with us and to unlock any special rates.

The exception is an inconvenience fee or late fee. If changes are made about your event that might have been unreported to us, with regards to our Terms of Service.
We usually require four weeks notice and deposit settlement to cater for an event.
However, we are possibly able to do late bookings if a team is available.
No, we are not a coffee van. We are more than happy to refer you to trusted coffee van caterers on request.
Our coffee cart service is for indoor private events.
We are not a coffee van and usually turn down outdoor events. This is to protect our electrical equipment from the elements (and ensures your coffee doesn’t have surprising ‘additions’ flying into it).
However, for the Coldbrew Bar and Pourover Bar hire – we could potentially do outdoor events that are i) adequately undercover and ii) powered.
Coldbrew coffee is not made by an espresso machine, but by a slower and cold water process to extract coffee from a coarser coffee ground. Our coldbrew bar offers pre-catered coldbrew to your guests to savour with ice, four milk range, and sweet condiments. For non-coffee drinkers, you can add-on flavours like chocolate, chai, and matcha to make iced drinks instead.
Pourover coffee is also not extracted by a machine, but is hand-poured with a precise temperature kettle that has a smaller spout to control a slower water pour (this is called a gooseneck kettle). This is accompanied by our pourover cone (glass or ceramic) and coffee filters. Our Pourover Bar experience is complimented with a range of milks and sweet condiments.
For Espresso Bar Bookings, you can choose from three menus – basic (4 milks), full (5 milks), and everythin’ (6 milks):
- basic, full, everythin’ – hot beverages (e.g. flat white, cappuccino, lattes)
- full and everythin’ – iced drinks (e.g. iced latte, iced chai, iced chocolate)
- everythin’ – ice cream drinks (e.g. affogato, iced chocolate with ice cream, iced coffee)
- everythin’ – 2L complimentary coldbrew (upon request in summer)
For Coldbrew Bar Bookings, you can choose from two menus on 4 milk range – coldbrew and full flavours:
- coldbrew (per 5L pre-catered)
- flavours – iced chocolates & iced chai (on full cream, oat, almond, or soy)
For Pourover Bar Bookings, you can choose from two menus on 4 milk range – coffee lover and full set:
- coffee lover – two pourover coffee grounds
- full set – two pourover coffee grounds, black & green tea options
