Everything a coffee truck does — from inside your event
A coffee truck needs curb space, a place to park and guests willing to walk outside. Our mobile coffee cart skips all of that: it fits through standard doorways and elevators and sets up right where your guests already are — a lobby, a showroom floor, a living room or a backyard.
Guests still get the coffee truck menu, made to order: single-origin Colombian espresso, lattes, cappuccinos, flat whites and mochas, hot or iced, plus ceremonial-grade matcha, hot chocolate and tea.
Hosting outdoors? The cart works outside too, under a fringed umbrella or in your brand's wrap — like our SSAINT x Credo Beauty cart on a NYC sidewalk. 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.
with love,
the Melu's Cafe team

What hosts, planners and guests say after the cart packs up — in their own words.
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!
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.
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
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!
Easily the best coffee I’ve had in NYC. Great service, too. If only I could get this every day.
Fantastic team from Melu’s coffee cart an amazing highlight of the event at our home. Professional, friendly and delicious coffee! Highly recommend this team for an event!

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.
