The Good Brew is a full-service mobile coffee cart based in Sacramento that travels across Northern California to serve handcrafted espresso drinks, RedBull infusions, seasonal beverages, and sodas at weddings, corporate events, and private parties. We’re not just here to hand out coffee—we’re here to create a moment, to add to the experience, and to make sure that from the first cup to the last, your guests feel cared for. Every drink is made by professional baristas, and every booking includes unlimited drinks per guest during your service window.

Yes! We offer two service tiers: The Standard Package includes a full espresso bar (lattes, cappuccinos, americanos), flavored sodas, flavored RedBull drinks, and rotating seasonal drink options like lavender lemonade or caramel cider. The Elevated Package includes everything in the Standard, plus premium options like matcha lattes and specialty drinks like Dalgona whipped coffee. You can choose to serve all drink categories or just a curated selection based on your event vibe. We also include oat milk as a dairy alternative, and homemade honey syrup as a sugar-free sweetener. Some of our seasonal and soda-based drinks can be made caffeine-free for guests who request it.

Our cart itself is 2ft wide by 6.5ft long, but for full service we require a space that’s approximately 6ft by 12ft. This allows us room for baristas, supplies, and guest flow. The setup is clean, minimal, and designed to blend with any venue—whether it’s a vineyard in Napa, a church courtyard, or an urban rooftop in San Francisco. We’ll need access to two separate power outlets on two separate breakers to operate efficiently. That’s it! Everything else—from cups to cords—is brought by us and handled by our team.

On average, our baristas can make up to 3 handcrafted espresso drinks per minute and up to 6 sodas or RedBull infusions per minute. On warmer days, when most guests are ordering cold drinks, this makes for one of the fastest coffee cart service speeds in the industry. Our sweet spot is around 200 guests, but we regularly serve events with up to 400 guests. For larger events, we include extra service time in your quote to ensure smooth flow. And when you book our Elevated Package, we bring a third barista dedicated to taking orders and serving guests, which makes the entire experience feel like your own pop-up café.

We aim to create an experience that feels like stepping up to your favorite local coffee shop—but with a little more energy and joy. Our baristas are professionally trained, friendly, and love engaging with your guests. Small talk, customization, and welcoming vibes are all part of the service. Whether it’s someone ordering their third RedBull infusion or your grandma trying oat milk for the first time, we’re here to make sure every guest feels cared for and gets a drink they love.

Yes! While tipping is never required, we do have a tip jar available at the cart and an online tipping option for hosts or guests who want to show appreciation for our team. We’re proud of the service we provide, and our baristas love going the extra mile—tipping helps recognize that, but no pressure ever.

Absolutely. Our cart comes styled to look clean and polished at every event, but we always encourage couples or planners to coordinate with their florists or decorators to add personal touches. With our Elevated Package, we also include custom cup stickers with your names, wedding date, logo, or a custom design—something guests always notice and love.

Yes—we serve everywhere from ballrooms to barns. If your venue has limited access, like grass, gravel, hills, or stairs, just let us know in advance and we’ll prepare accordingly. We do require on-site electricity (two outlets on separate breakers), so if your location doesn’t have access to power, let us know and we’ll work on a solution together.

Not at all. Our pricing is per guest, not per cup, which means every guest gets unlimited drinks during your booked service window. No one has to pull out their wallet or worry about what’s included—it’s all covered. Your guests will just walk up, order what they want, and enjoy.

We’re a lot more than just drinks. With The Good Brew, you get: Unlimited handcrafted drinks made fast and fresh A beautiful, customizable cart setup Professional baristas who care deeply about your guests A service that’s built into the flow of your event—not a distraction from it A client-first approach where we’re here to make things easier, not more complicated We’re not here to just show up—we’re here to bring the energy, the quality, and the seamless service that makes your event unforgettable.

To get started, just fill out our Inquiry Form here: thegoodbrewcart.com/get-a-quote. Once we receive your form, a member of our team will personally reach out to you within 24–48 hours to go over your event details, answer any questions you have, and make sure we’re the perfect fit for your day. We don’t just book events—we build an experience that fits your vision, and that starts with a real conversation.

Yes! We want you to book confidently. Your $100 deposit is refundable for up to 7 days after it’s paid. After that, it becomes non-refundable, since your date is officially locked and we begin reserving staff and inventory for your event.

Your final payment is due 7 days before your event date. We accept online payments (a 5% processing fee applies) or cash (no fee). We’ll remind you in advance to make the process smooth and stress-free. If we don’t receive payment on time, we may have to cancel your booking—so be sure to stay in touch.

Cancellations made after the final payment is due are handled on a case-by-case basis, but our standard policy is that no refunds are given, as your event is already fully staffed, prepped, and blocked off from other bookings. That said, we’re always open to a conversation if something unexpected comes up—we genuinely want to work with you.

Yes! You can increase your guest count anytime—even the day of your event—as long as the difference is paid. You can also decrease your guest count, but this needs to be done before your final payment is made. Once we hit that payment deadline, your guest count is considered locked.

Nope. Our pricing is for active service time only. Setup and takedown are included in every quote. We arrive 45 minutes early to set up, and handle cleanup immediately after. You don’t need to worry about scheduling or extra costs for our prep time—we’ve got it covered.

We include travel within 15 miles of Antelope, CA in every booking. For venues beyond that, we charge $2 per mile (roundtrip). For events over 300 miles away, we may include a small fee for overnight accommodations. We’ll always quote this clearly—there are no surprise charges.

We’re flexible! If you’d like to extend your service time during the event, you can add extra time for $200/hour, paid in cash at the time of change. We do not offer post-event invoicing for extensions, so plan ahead or have the cash ready if you think you’ll want to keep the drinks flowing longer.

No worries—we don’t charge late fees on deposits. However, your date isn’t secured until the deposit is paid, and we can’t hold your spot if another client books first. It’s always first come, first booked.

Absolutely. We love working with planners, day-of coordinators, and vendors. If you’re working with a team, we’re happy to loop them into communication to make sure everything runs smoothly. Just send us their contact info and we’ll take it from there.
