From Hyundai to LUSH: A Look at the Brands We've Catered Coffee For
We've had the chance to serve coffee and matcha at a wide range of events over the past year — executive meetings, brand activations, college campuses, grand openings, and more. Each one is a little different, but they all share the same goal: an elevated experience guests remember.
Here's a roundup of some of our favorite recent events, and what made each one work.
Hyundai — Executive Meeting, Irvine, CA
For a leadership gathering at Hyundai's North American design headquarters, we ran a two-cart, two-barista setup to keep service fast and seamless for a packed executive schedule. No long lines, no disruption to the flow of the meeting — just consistent, high-quality drinks served at the pace executives expect.
GFiber x The Irvine Company — Employee Appreciation, Irvine, CA
Employee appreciation events are one of the simplest ways to show a team they're valued, and coffee catering is a natural fit. For this event, we brought our full menu on-site to give employees a genuine treat in the middle of the workday.
LUSH Cosmetics — Sustainable Matcha Cart, UTC San Diego
For LUSH's activation at UTC San Diego, sustainability was front and center — fitting, given LUSH's own brand values. We built a matcha cart experience that matched their eco-conscious positioning while still delivering the photo-worthy, crowd-drawing moment a brand activation needs.
Fordivine x Shaklee — Custom Collagen Latte Brand Activation
This brand activation called for something nobody else was offering: a custom collagen latte built specifically around the client's product line. It's a good example of how far we can take customization when a brand wants their activation to feel completely unique.
ACI Jet — Corporate Coffee for Pilots, Flight Attendants, and Passengers
Not every event fits the typical office or ballroom mold. For ACI Jet, we brought coffee catering to an aviation environment, caffeinating crew and passengers alike — proof that a well-run coffee cart can adapt to almost any setting.
Tripepi Smith — Corporate Training, Lake Forest, CA
For a corporate training session, we set up a cold brew tap cart to keep the team energized through a full day of sessions. It's a simple addition that makes a long training day feel a little less like a long training day.
The John Stanaland Group — Corona del Mar Open House
Real estate open houses live and die by atmosphere. For this Corona del Mar open house, our setup added a premium touch that matched the property and gave visitors a reason to linger a little longer.
Vanguard University — Preview Days and Conferences
We've partnered with Vanguard University on multiple occasions, from student preview days to the Garden YTH BeFilled conference, using everything from espresso carts to cold brew tap setups depending on the event. It's a good example of how a single venue or organization can use coffee catering differently across different events throughout the year.
What These Events Have in Common
Every one of these events is different — different industries, different goals, different guest counts. But the throughline is the same: a coffee cart that's built around the specific event, not a one-size-fits-all setup dropped in and left alone.
That's the part that's harder to put in a proposal but easy to see once you've booked us once.
