Coffee cart service, start to last pour

Coffee cart catering from Melu's Cafe is full service. We plan the menu with you, arrive on time, set up the cart, and our baristas make every drink to order until the last pour — warm smiles and polished professionalism the whole way.

The cart pours single-origin Colombian espresso drinks and hand-whisked ceremonial-grade matcha, hot or iced. Signature drinks, syrups and milk options are tailored to your event, and cups and menus can carry your names, theme or logo.

Hosts tell us we were communicative before the event, on time to set up, and that guests lined up for drinks all night. 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.

Evening event
I cannot say enough good things about Melu’s cart and the service provided at our event. They were communicative before and came right on time to set up before our event. The actual drinks at our event were amazing and the lines were so long as every guest lined up for drinks throughout the night. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to make sure their event is memorable and give a unique experience

We had Melu’s Mobile Cafe at our event staff event and they were absolutely fantastic. They were incredibly accommodating with last-minute changes, showed up right on time, and were so personable and easy to work with throughout the entire process. The coffees and matchas were delicious, our guests couldn’t stop talking about them! Everything ran smoothly, and they truly helped elevate the experience of our event. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be booking them again!

Wedding
We couldn’t have asked for a better coffee station for our wedding! From start to finish, Melissa was absolutely amazing — incredibly responsible, professional, and so warm and friendly. She did everything with a genuine smile and made sure every detail was taken care of. But the coffee itself was truly the star! Our guests could not stop talking about how delicious the coffee was. We heard so many compliments throughout the evening, and everyone was raving about the incredible taste and quality of the drinks. Melissa brought such a wonderful energy to our wedding, and her service was just as impressive as the coffee. She went above and beyond to make everything perfect, and we are so grateful. If you’re looking for a coffee station for your wedding or special event, we highly, highly recommend Melissa! Amazing coffee, amazing service, and an amazing person. She was a beautiful addition to our special day! ❤️☕️

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! ☕✨

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.
