Coffee Menu & Catering in Long Island City, NY

Long Island City sits on the Queens waterfront directly across the East River from Midtown Manhattan, a neighborhood of office towers, converted warehouses, waterfront parks, galleries and studios. Zerno Coffee Cart is based in Philadelphia and travels in to bring a full specialty espresso bar to Long Island City office events, product launches, brand activations, weddings and private celebrations.

Our compact LUCCA A53 setup fits office floors, lobbies, rooftops, galleries, studios and other indoor-friendly venues. Our baristas pull single-origin espresso and make lattes, cold brew, matcha and chai with house-made syrups, serving up to 60 specialty drinks an hour. All supplies come with us, and custom branded cups, cart wraps and menus are available for corporate events and brand activations.

Long Island City is part of Queens. For events elsewhere in the borough, see our New York City coffee catering page. We also serve Staten Island, and our New York City coffee catering page covers the wider area.

“Danylo is an absolute treasure and a master of his craft. He joined us for a corporate client meet and greet and the group we hosted was excited to see Zerno Coffee Cart because they had him previously work an event they were part of.”

FAQ

Long Island City Coffee Catering FAQ

Yes, provided the space has a flat 6' × 5' area and a dedicated 15-amp or 20-amp circuit. An office floor or lobby can work for a staffed espresso bar. Include the building address and ask your venue contact about loading access and elevators so we can discuss how the cart will reach the service area.

An outdoor setup needs a flat area and power within 50 feet of the cart on a dedicated 15-amp or 20-amp circuit. We bring extension cords and can provide a shade tent. Check your venue's access and placement requirements before booking and tell us where guests will gather for coffee.

We offer custom cart wraps, printed cups, menus and logo latte art for brand activations and launch events. Share the visual direction and the studio or gallery address when requesting a quote. Branded cups are available for an additional fee. The cart's footprint and power requirements still apply, even when its appearance is customized.

Our baristas serve single-origin espresso drinks alongside cold brew, matcha and chai, with house-made syrups. We bring the LUCCA A53 setup, cups, lids, stirrers and napkins. For a team gathering, tell us when the group will break for coffee so the planned service window fits the office agenda rather than interrupting a presentation.

For corporate events, 2–4 weeks is typically sufficient, with earlier booking recommended for May, June, September and December. If your launch includes branded cups or a cart wrap, share those plans in the initial inquiry. Include the date, address and guest count so the proposal covers the event and its customization requests together.
