The experience

Why book us?

  • Professional equipment & barista

    A commercial dual-boiler LUCCA A53 Pro and a Mahlkönig E65 grinder, both NSF-approved. Every shot is dialed in on site before your first guest arrives.

  • Specialty syrups & quality beans

    Freshly roasted specialty beans from a local roaster, flavored syrups, tea bags, and matcha.

  • Fully self-contained setup

    Our own water, waste containment, and plumbing, so we can serve in a parking lot, gym, or backyard without hookups.

  • Custom branded cups & menu boards

    À la carte add-ons: logo-branded cups, custom cart branding, and a personalized menu board.

Three ways to serve. All of them adjustable.

Every event is quoted individually. These are a starting point for the conversation, not a fixed menu.

The practical details

How much space, power, and water do you need?

Ideally, we need a 10 × 10 ft footprint on a flat surface, though a 6 × 6 ft space can work for smaller setups. We also need one dedicated standard 15–20 amp circuit within approximately 25 feet of the cart. We bring our own water and manage our own waste, so no plumbing connection is required.

What are your rates?

We don’t have a single set rate because every event is customized around your needs. Our packages are a helpful starting point, while final pricing is based on the details of your event. Choose the package that feels closest to what you have in mind, then fill out our quote form and we’ll create a clear, personalized estimate.

Are you insured and certified?

Yes. Slowleaf Coffee & Tea is fully insured, and our team holds current food handler certifications. We follow applicable food-safety practices and are happy to provide documentation for venues, planners, or corporate event requirements upon request.

How far in advance should we book?

Four to eight weeks is a comfortable planning window, and popular weekend dates in the spring and fall may book sooner. If your event is only a few days or weeks away, reach out anyway. If we’re available, we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

Can you serve indoors as well as outdoors?

Yes. Indoor events need a doorway wide enough for the cart and a clear path for load-in. Outdoor events require a level, dry surface and shade or a tent during hot weather. Service may be limited or postponed if conditions are too hot, cold, wet, or windy. See our Terms & Conditions for additional details.

How many drinks can you make per hour?

One barista can comfortably serve approximately 50 to 60 handcrafted drinks per hour, depending on the menu and the mix of hot and iced drinks. For larger events, we may add a second barista to help keep service moving.

What about deposits and cancellations?

A deposit reserves your date and is applied to the final balance. Your balance is due 7 days before your event. Cancellation terms and weather contingencies are included in your agreement before you sign. See our Cancellation Policy for more details.

Can you brand the cups, cart, and menu for our event?

Yes. We can add custom logo stickers to paper and plastic cups, as well as a vinyl logo or event design to the front of the cart. Branded cups and cart details require additional lead time, so please mention them in your quote request.

Do you offer decaf and non-dairy options?

Decaf coffee is available as an add-on. Lactose-free, oat, and almond milk can also be requested as add-ons. Please tell us about any allergies or dietary needs when requesting your quote.
