Hot chocolate catering that warms up the room
Our hot cocoa cart brings hot chocolate catering to holiday parties, office celebrations, showers and winter events across Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, with baristas making every cup to order.
Want coffee too? The coffee & hot cocoa cart serves both: hot chocolate for the cocoa crowd, and single-origin Colombian espresso drinks — lattes, cappuccinos, mochas — for everyone else. Ceremonial-grade matcha and tea round out the menu.
Brand the cups and the cart for a holiday party or a winter activation, and we'll build a seasonal signature drink around your event. We're based in Forest Hills, Queens.

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

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!
Melu’s Cafe was one of the highlights of my baby shower! They were so sweet and everyone enjoyed the custom drinks. I highly recommend them for any event!
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.
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!
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!
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!

questions?
Good things to know
Do you serve hot chocolate?
Yes. Hot chocolate is on our base menu, and we offer a dedicated hot cocoa cart or a coffee & hot cocoa cart, so the cocoa crowd and the coffee crowd are both covered.
How much does a coffee cart cost in NYC?
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 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.
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.
