The coffee truck experience, inside your event

Hiring a coffee truck for an event means finding a place to park it and sending guests outside. Our coffee cart brings the same experience inside: it rolls through standard doorways and elevators and sets up next to your guests.

Our baristas make every drink to order — single-origin Colombian espresso drinks and ceremonial-grade matcha, hot or iced — and we can brand the cart, cups and menu for your event.

We've set up at weddings, showers, company events, retail stores and a NY Fashion Week showroom, indoors and out. We're based in Forest Hills, Queens, minutes from the Nassau County line.

    La Marzocco espresso and ceremonial-grade matcha, made to order.

  • Expert baristas

    Punctual, personable service from setup to the last pour.

  • Branded cart & cups

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.

What hosts, planners and guests say after the cart packs up — in their own words.

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

Staff event
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!

Company event
We hired Melu's Cafe for a company event at Harvest Moon Farm & Orchard and everyone loved the fresh handmade coffee and matcha on site. Strawberry matcha was my personal favorite. The whole team was a pleasure to work with. A must have addition if you want a coffee bar at your event.
Euphemia Tse
NY Fashion Week showroom
We had an exceptional experience working with Melissa, who set up a matcha and coffee station in our showroom for NY Fashion week it truly elevated everything. From 8 AM to 5 PM each day, she created a welcoming, high-energy environment with premium matcha, espresso, and coffee offerings that our buyers absolutely loved. The setup was beautifully done, professional, and added a level of hospitality that made a real difference in how people experienced our space. Beyond just great drinks, Melissa brought an energy that uplifted the entire room. Buyers stayed longer, engaged more, and we genuinely saw a lift in both mood and momentum throughout the week. Having that kind of thoughtful touch especially during long, busy days was invaluable. If you’re looking to enhance your showroom, event, or client experience, I highly recommend Melissa. She delivered above and beyond, and we look forward to working with her again.

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!

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

Do you have a coffee truck?

No — we bring a mobile coffee cart. It serves everything a coffee truck would (espresso drinks and matcha made to order by a barista), and it rolls through doorways and elevators into lobbies, showrooms, homes and venues where a truck can't park.

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 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.

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 brand the cart and the cups?

Yes. We create custom cups, menus and full cart wraps to match your logo, theme or brand identity. We've wrapped carts for Steve Madden, Credo Beauty, Brooks x FP Movement and Pelé Soccer x adidas. Share your date early so there's time to produce everything.

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.
