FAQ
Coffee Catering in Princeton: FAQ
Yes. Our Princeton-area coverage includes Princeton Junction, West Windsor, Lawrenceville, Hopewell, Plainsboro and nearby communities. Send the event's actual address rather than only the town name when you request service. That helps us discuss travel from Philadelphia and the setup, whether your guests are meeting in an office, a private home or a reception venue.
Campus-area receptions and university-related gatherings can include our mobile espresso service. We bring the LUCCA A53 setup, baristas and supplies, and need a flat 6' × 5' area with a dedicated 15-amp or 20-amp circuit. Include building access instructions and your event schedule.
For an outdoor wedding, identify a level serving area and power access within 50 feet of the cart. We can set up on grass and bring our own tent for shade. Our wedding booking guidance is 3–6 months ahead. Share the ceremony and reception schedule so we can discuss when coffee will fit best.
Yes. Alongside espresso drinks, our menu includes cold brew, matcha and chai with house-made syrups. We bring cups and the other service supplies. For an office gathering along the Route 1 corridor, share the guest count and meeting agenda so we can discuss a service window that suits arrivals, a scheduled break or a reception.
Send the date, location, expected guest count and preferred service duration, plus any branding requests. Pricing is provided in a custom proposal, with transparent travel pricing for events beyond 30 miles from Philadelphia. A 50% non-refundable retainer secures the date, and the remaining balance is due 14 days before your celebration.
