FAQ
Q: What's the difference between Catering and Pay-Per-Cup?
A: Catering means unlimited drinks for your guests—you pay upfront and they enjoy as many as they like. Pay-Per-Cup means we set up at your location and sell drinks individually to visitors. Great for public events, festivals, or office activations where not everyone may want coffee.
Q: How does travel pricing work?
A: The first 5 miles from our base in Silver Spring, MD are free. After that, we charge $1.50 per mile round-trip. We’ll calculate this for you when you request a quote.
Q: How much would additional baristas be?
A: Each additional barista is $25/hour. We automatically add at least 1 barista if the guest count exceeds 200 to ensure smooth service flow.
