Livermore & the Tri-Valley

A mobile espresso bar for Livermore events.

Eight23 Craft & Brew is a specialty mobile espresso bar. We bring the cart, the commercial equipment, and a trained barista who turns up early and leaves the place as they found it. Hot and iced, non-dairy milks included as standard, on every booking. Based in Manteca, and out to Livermore regularly.

What We Serve

The events we show up for in Livermore

Wine country on one side, labs and tech on the other.

Winery weddings

Dozens of venues out here, and all of them go quiet after dinner. That is our cue.

Tech & research

Campus events and all-hands mornings. Print the logo on the foam and it earns its budget line.

Product launches

A cart is a centerpiece that people queue at. Queues photograph better than signage.

Staff appreciation

Early morning lab and office teams, where a real barista is not what they expected.

Private parties

Anniversaries, graduations, and backyards across the Tri-Valley.

Downtown events

Livermore keeps a busy downtown calendar and we are on it more than you would think.

Common Questions

Livermore event FAQ

Do you serve Livermore from Manteca?

Yes, regularly. Livermore sits outside our standard local area, so travel is worked out as part of your quote rather than assumed. Tell us the venue and the figure comes back with everything else.

Can you do a corporate campus or lab event?

Yes. These usually come with badging, a specific load in door, and a fixed access window. None of that is a problem as long as we know in advance, so send us the site rules when you inquire.

Do you offer mobile barista services in Livermore?

Yes. Every booking includes a trained barista working the cart, so hiring a mobile barista and booking the coffee cart are the same thing with us. We do not hire out a barista without the equipment, because the espresso quality depends on both.

How far in advance should I book?

Weekend dates in spring and fall book the furthest out, and December fills quickly with holiday parties. If you have a date in mind, checking early costs you nothing and holds your place in the conversation.

Can you serve outdoors in the summer heat?

Yes, and we do it often. Shade makes a real difference for the equipment and for your guests, so we will talk through placement with you. A cold brew or iced service is usually the stronger choice for a hot afternoon.

What if my venue has stairs?

The cart cannot go up or down stairs, so we need a step free route from where we park to where we set up. This is worth raising as early as possible. In most cases there is an alternative entrance, and in some cases an additional fee may apply for a more involved workaround.

How many guests can you serve?

That depends on your guest count and how long you want the bar open, which is exactly what we work out together when you inquire. Tell us the headcount and the window you have in mind and we will size the service to match.

Do you serve anywhere else nearby?

Yes. We are based in Manteca and serve Pleasanton, Dublin, San Ramon, Tracy, Mountain House, and the wider Tri-Valley, and beyond.
