A real espresso bar, not a coffee station

Our mobile espresso bar is built around a La Marzocco espresso machine and a grinder, not airpots. Baristas pull single-origin Colombian espresso for every drink and steam milk to order, the way a specialty café does.

That means espresso, flat whites, cappuccinos, americanos, vanilla, caramel and mocha lattes, hot or iced — plus hot chocolate, tea and hand-whisked ceremonial-grade matcha for guests who skip coffee.

The espresso cart sets up in a 6' x 5' space on one 120V outlet and needs no water hookup, so it works in an office, a showroom, a loft or a ballroom. 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.

Espresso
The people behind Melu's Cafe are very knowledgeable about espresso and so pleasant to deal with! They really care about the material they use and went out of their way to accommodate us. Literally couldn't have asked for a better experience. Such great value for the price they charge!
Dave Chen
Easily the best coffee I’ve had in NYC. Great service, too. If only I could get this every day.
Angel Millar
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.

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!

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!

questions?

Good things to know

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.

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.

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.

Do you have dairy-free options?

Yes. We offer oat and almond milk alongside whole milk, plus caramel, vanilla and salted caramel syrups.

Can you serve all day or across several days?
