Do you need power at the venue?

Yes. Our espresso equipment needs a standard dedicated 110v household outlet within reach of where the cart sets up. If your space cannot provide one, tell us when you inquire and we will work out an alternative before the event.

Do you need a water hookup?

No. We arrive fully self contained with our own water, so no plumbing or hose access is required.

Can the cart handle stairs?

No. The cart cannot go up or down stairs. We need a flat, step free path from where we park to where the cart sets up. If the only route involves stairs, tell us early and we will find a workaround together.

How early do you arrive?

We arrive well ahead of your service start time to unload and set up, so please make sure the venue or space is open and accessible to us in advance.

Before You Book

What your Pleasanton space needs

Corporate venues bring their own particular set of rules.

A dedicated 110v outlet, near where the cart sits. Ordinary household power is fine. Sharing a circuit with the kitchen is not. Older halls and outdoor spaces are the ones to double check.
No water hookup needed. We bring our own. Nothing to plumb, no hose to hunt for.
A flat, step free route from the van to the cart. This is the one that catches people out. The cart does not do stairs. If steps are the only way in, tell us early and we will solve it before the day rather than on it.
About ten by ten feet. Room for the cart and a barista behind it, ideally out of the main walkway.
Shade, if we are outside in summer. The inland East Bay gets genuinely hot from June through September. A shaded corner or a tent makes a real difference, and iced drinks tend to outsell hot ones.
Let us in before the guests. We arrive well ahead to set up. Make sure the venue knows we are coming and when, so nobody is standing outside a locked door.

Common Questions

Pleasanton event FAQ

Do you serve Pleasanton from Manteca?

Yes. Pleasanton sits outside our standard local area, so travel is calculated as part of your quote rather than assumed. Send us the venue and it comes back with the rest of the numbers.

Do you invoice for corporate bookings?

Yes. A company event should not have to go on someone personal card and get expensed later. Tell us what your finance team needs and we will match it.

Do you offer mobile barista services in Pleasanton?

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 Dublin, Livermore, San Ramon, Danville, Tracy, and the wider Tri-Valley, and beyond.
