Hire a barista for the day — cart included
The barista is the difference between event coffee and a café experience. Ours pull espresso shots to order, pour latte art, and remember that the guy in the blue jacket wanted oat milk.
Every espresso bar catering booking includes the mobile espresso cart, commercial equipment, specialty coffee roasted locally within three weeks, house-made syrups, organic whole milk plus almond and oat, and the cups, lids and cords to run it.
Clients mention our baristas by name in their Google reviews. That's the part we're proudest of.

What clients say after the cart packs up — in their own words.
“One of the best vendors at our wedding. Megan and Chloe did a phenomenal job making coffee and chatting with our guests. Set up and clean up seemed effortless and the coffee was so good. The latte printing is a must and surprised our guests and brought a smile to our guests with each cup. Would definitely hire Flipside again!”
“Flipside Coffee was an absolute hit at my office. Ty was our barista (and also the founder!) and he was AMAZING. He made all of the drinks so quickly and most of the hot drinks had beautiful latte art. All of the drinks, both hot and cold, were delicious! We will definitely be inviting Flipside Coffee back to our office on a regular basis. Highly recommend!”
“Wedding planner here! Flipside Coffee Cart was such a fun addition to our couple’s wedding! Their team was wonderful to work with from the planning side. Everything was smooth, professional, and beautifully presented. We would absolutely love to have Flipside Coffee Cart at another HK wedding!”
“We had a Flipside coffee cart in office for my team and it was such a hit!! Sol and Megan were friendly, professional, and made amazing coffee, chai, and matcha:) The whole process was incredibly easy, they handled all the logistics so I never had to worry if things were running smoothly. I really appreciated how warm and welcoming they were. Highly recommend, and I’m already looking forward to booking with them again!”
“Sol was our barista at a smaller private party in Boulder for about ~16 people & children. Great smile, friendly service, easy going and extremely polite and considerate. We chatted about moving to Boulder (& CO) and shared stories of where we came from. Welcome to CO!!!”
“The Barista Megan is phenomenal energy and makes phenomenal espresso and matcha! If we ever cross her path in Denver, we will each be getting 5 coffees each!”
“I had a great experience with Flipside for a grand opening event. Chloe and Megan were amazing - very accommodating to the tight space we had available and easy to work with. The coffee and pastries tasted great and were major hits with our guests! Would love to work with Flipside again soon.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Flip Side Coffee was an absolute dream to work with for Teacher Appreciation Week—exceptional quality, genuinely lovely baristas, and branding that felt perfectly dialed. Everything ran seamlessly… we loved it so much we’ve already booked them again!”
“This wasn’t our first event with Flipside Coffee, and once again, they did not disappoint. From start to finish, their response times and communication were excellent—clear, prompt, and easy throughout the entire process. Their level of professionalism truly stands out and makes event planning seamless. And it definitely doesn’t hurt that they deliver high energy with a friendly face every time! Flipside consistently brings great coffee, great vibes, and a team you can count on. Highly recommend and looking forward to many more events together. ☕👏”

Questions
Good things to know
Can I hire a barista for just a few hours?
Yes. Service is booked by the window you need — a morning office coffee, a cocktail hour, or a full conference day. Tell us the start and end time in the form and we'll quote it.
How much does a coffee cart cost?
It depends on your service window, guest count, location and any customizations like logo printing or a wrapped cart. Tell us about your event in the form on this page and a real person sends your quote — usually within the hour, always within one business day.
What drinks are included?
Every event gets a full espresso menu, hot or iced: americanos, lattes and cappuccinos with vanilla, chocolate and a seasonal syrup, plus decaf, chai and matcha at no extra cost. Milks are organic whole, almond and oat.
What do you need from the venue?
A dedicated standard 3-prong outlet and a relatively flat 5×5 space. That's it — no kitchen or water source required, and we bring the extension cords.
How much coffee do we need for 50 or 100 guests?
You don't have to do that math. Drinks are unlimited during your service window — no counting cups — and we staff baristas and carts to your guest count, from 20 people to 2,000.
Are you insured?
Yes. We're happy to provide a certificate of insurance (COI) for your venue on request.
