A coffee bar rental that comes with the baristas

Our coffee bar rental puts a real café bar inside your event: a cart with a La Marzocco espresso machine and grinder, single-origin Colombian coffee, ceremonial-grade matcha, and our baristas making every drink to order.

It's a favorite for baby and bridal showers, birthdays and brunches — hosts love that it matches the theme, and guests love the strawberry and mango matcha, Biscoff latte and ube latte. Every drink comes hot or iced, with whole, oat or almond milk.

The bar sets up in a 6' x 5' space on one 120V outlet, with no water hookup, in a home, a backyard, an office or a venue. We're based in Forest Hills, Queens, minutes from the Nassau County line.

our story

Colombian coffee, served with the warmth of home

Melu's Cafe was started by barista Melissa Sanchez from a love for Colombian specialty coffee — and the belief that a beautiful cup, served from a mobile coffee bar, can brighten any moment.

As a Colombian-owned business, we focus on intentional brewing, meticulous quality and sustainable choices. Every drink is soft, simple and elevated, made to give you and your guests a gentle pause in the day.

Bridal shower
We had Melu’s Café at my sister’s bridal shower, and it was such a great experience! She was incredibly sweet, so easy to work with, and made the whole process stress-free from start to finish. The drinks were delicious, the setup was beautiful, and everything matched our theme perfectly. Our guests loved it and kept asking for her information. I would highly recommend her for any special event! ☕✨

50th birthday
I had a chance to have Melissa at my 50th birthday party. She is amazing and she did an amazing job at my personal cups for both hot and cold beverages. I will highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to have a coffee station at their event. Reach out to her or me and I will be happy to connect you.

Bridal shower
Melu's coffee and matcha cart were part of my daughter's "She's Off the Market" Bridal Shower! The cart fit in perfectly to our Bridal Marketplace theme. Melu's baristas - Hoa and Noah - were punctual and professional, and both had great personalities. The coffee or matcha chosen was offered hot or over ice. All the choices made a huge hit with our guests - it worked out so well, I'm booking them again for our Wedding Farewell Brunch which is in 2 months!

Biscoff latte
Love their Biscoff latte!! The service is excellent, they’re very attentive and kind. The cart itself is also super cute, clean, and well organized. They also have a nice mix of classic and specialty drinks to choose from. Would definitely order from them again!

Baby shower
Melisa and her crew were nothing short of amazing for my baby shower. Despite the heavy rain and cold, they seamlessly set up and treated our guests with their amazing coffee drinks! The coffee was fresh, flavorful, and made perfectly. The staff was super friendly and the whole setup was adorable and welcoming. Highly recommend and will definitely be recommending to family and friends for future events!

questions?

Good things to know

Is it a rental or full-service catering?

Full service. The cart never shows up on its own — our baristas set it up, make every drink and serve your guests through the last pour.

How much does a coffee cart cost on Long Island?

Every event is quoted on its own — pricing depends on your guest count, how long you want service, your menu and any custom branding. Share your date, location and guest count in the form on this page and we'll send your custom pricing.

What drinks are on the menu?

Our base menu has espresso, flat whites, cappuccinos, americanos, vanilla, caramel and mocha lattes, hot chocolate and tea — every drink hot or iced. Specialty drinks include the matcha latte, Biscoff latte, strawberry, mango, raspberry, ube and jasmine tea matcha, matcha coconut cloud and ube latte.

Can you customize the menu?

Yes. We tailor syrups, milk options and signature drinks to your event, so the menu can match your theme, your brand or the two of you.

What do you need from the venue?

One dedicated standard 120V outlet, a smooth flat surface and a space of at least 6' x 5' for the cart and barista. We don't need onsite water for espresso service, and the cart fits through standard doorways and elevators.

Do you serve Long Island?

Yes. We're based in Forest Hills, Queens, minutes from the Nassau County line. We bring the cart to Great Neck, Manhasset, Port Washington, Garden City and Mineola and everywhere else in Nassau County, and we also travel across all five boroughs, Long Island, New Jersey, Upstate New York and Stamford, CT.
