More Than a Coffee Cart—A Branded Experience

A branded coffee cart gives guests a natural reason to stop, interact with your team and spend longer in your space.

It works especially well at exhibitions and brand activations, where attracting attention and creating genuine conversations are essential. Your branding can appear throughout the experience—from the front of the cart to the cup guests carry around the venue.

Our branded coffee carts are suitable for:

  • Exhibitions and trade shows
  • Brand and product launches
  • Retail and in-store activations
  • Corporate events and conferences
  • Property and show-home launches
  • PR events and press days
  • Employee engagement campaigns
  • Multi-location tours and roadshows

Our Coffee Cart Branding Options

Your activation can be kept sleek and minimal or transformed into a completely branded experience.

Branded Coffee Cart Panels

We can apply your logo, campaign artwork, brand colours or promotional messaging to the visible panels of the cart.

Options include:

  • Branded front panel
  • Side-panel branding
  • Full three-sided cart branding
  • Campaign messaging and QR codes
  • Bespoke menus and tabletop signage

A digital mock-up is created for approval before the artwork goes into production.

Custom-Branded Coffee Cups

Branded cups keep your logo visible long after guests leave the cart.

We can provide:

  • Branded hot coffee cups
  • Branded clear cups for iced coffee and matcha
  • Printed cup sleeves
  • Logo stickers for shorter lead times
  • Branded lids and accessories where available

Custom-printed cups normally require approximately 10–15 working days. Branded stickers can usually be arranged more quickly, depending on artwork approval and availability.

Logo Printing on Coffee

Add your logo, campaign message, QR code or selected design directly onto the top of suitable coffee drinks.

Our coffee printer creates an engaging and highly shareable finish that works particularly well for product launches, exhibitions and social-media-led activations.

Logo coffee printing is available as an optional addition to selected packages.

Branded Menus and Signage

We can create coordinated menus and signage that match the cart and cup branding.

Available options include:

  • Branded A4 or A5 menus
  • Tabletop signage
  • Freestanding display boards
  • QR-code signs
  • Campaign-specific drink names
  • Allergen and milk-option information

Branded Barista Aprons

Complete the presentation with aprons displaying your logo or campaign artwork.

This is particularly effective when the baristas are representing your company at an exhibition stand, press event or customer-facing activation.


A Simple Branding Process

1. Send Us Your Brief

Tell us the date, location, estimated guest numbers, serving time and the type of event you are planning.

If the activation is being organised by an experiential or PR agency, we can work directly from the client’s brand guidelines and event brief.

2. Supply Your Artwork

PDF or vector artwork normally produces the best printing results. High-resolution SVG, EPS or AI files may also be suitable.

If you do not have artwork prepared to the required dimensions, we can provide a template for the cart panels.

3. Approve Your Mock-Up

We create a digital visual showing how the branding will appear on the cart, cups or other selected materials.

Nothing goes into production until the artwork has been approved.

4. Production and Event Preparation

Once approved, the branding is produced and checked before the event. We also organise the equipment, coffee, milk, cups and other consumables required for your service.

5. Delivery, Setup and Service

Our team arrives approximately 60–90 minutes before the service begins, allowing time to unload, assemble the cart, test the equipment and prepare the station.

The coffee service is then delivered by experienced event baristas who understand presentation, guest interaction and high-volume service.

Built for Busy Events and Exhibition Stands

A beautiful cart is important, but it also needs to perform properly when the event becomes busy.

A streamlined setup can serve approximately 80–150 drinks per hour, depending on the menu, order flow and number of baristas. For higher-volume events, we can recommend additional baristas or multiple coffee stations to reduce queues.

Our equipment is selected for professional event service and includes:

  • Commercial espresso machine
  • Professional coffee grinder
  • Fresh and waste-water system
  • Milk refrigeration and storage
  • Barista equipment
  • Cups, lids and consumables
  • Dairy and oat milk
  • Teas, hot chocolate and decaffeinated coffee where requested

We can also provide iced coffee and matcha as part of a suitable menu.

For larger events, see our dedicated corporate coffee cart hire and conference coffee service pages.


Fully Self-Contained Coffee Cart Setup

Our coffee carts do not normally need to be connected to the venue’s mains-water supply.

We bring fresh water and collect the wastewater within the setup, which makes the service suitable for exhibition stands, retail units, offices and temporary activation spaces.

The usual requirements are:

  • A level indoor or covered service area
  • Approximately 1.2 metres of operating space for the cart
  • Working space for the barista
  • Access to a standard 13A electrical socket
  • Two separate 13A sockets for certain larger setups
  • Suitable loading and unloading access

We provide our own extension leads and will confirm the exact electrical requirements before the event.

For venue-specific planning, visit our pages for coffee cart hire at ExCeL London and coffee cart hire at Olympia London.

Venue organisers should also check the official ExCeL London visitor and access information or Olympia London visitor information when planning deliveries and access.


Coffee Made Fresh by Professional Baristas

Our coffee is prepared freshly rather than served from an automatic or self-service machine.

The menu can include:

  • Espresso
  • Americano
  • Flat white
  • Cappuccino
  • Latte
  • Iced latte
  • Hot chocolate
  • English breakfast and herbal teas
  • Decaffeinated coffee
  • Oat and dairy milk

A focused menu can be created for high-volume activations, while longer events can offer a wider selection.

For guests with allergies or dietary requirements, our team follows the agreed service plan and provides the relevant ingredient information. Event organisers can also review the Food Standards Agency’s allergen guidance.


Coffee With a Positive Impact

For every cup served, we make a contribution towards charitable projects connected to coffee-growing communities.

We also aim to support a more responsible event service through carefully planned stock levels, appropriate waste management and recyclable service items where available. A dedicated recycling bin can be supplied upon request.

This allows your guests to enjoy a premium branded experience while supporting a wider purpose behind every cup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you brand both the coffee cart and the cups?

Yes. We can coordinate the cart panels, cups, menus, aprons and signage so the entire setup follows the same campaign artwork and brand colours.

How much does branded coffee cart hire cost?

The price depends on the number of drinks, service hours, staffing, event location and branding selected. We provide tailored packages rather than a one-size-fits-all service. You can view our coffee cart hire pricing guide before requesting a detailed quotation.

How long does the branding take?

We recommend allowing approximately 10–15 working days for custom-printed cups and cart branding. More complex campaigns may require additional time for artwork approval and production. Sticker branding may be available for events with shorter lead times.

What artwork format do you need?

A high-resolution PDF or vector file is normally best. SVG, EPS and AI files may also be accepted. We create a digital mock-up for your approval before production begins.

Do you provide a branding template?

Yes. Our carts are bespoke, so we can provide the relevant panel dimensions or artwork template. Our standard hot cups are generally 12oz, although the cup specification may vary according to the selected service.

Can you print our logo directly onto the coffee?

Yes. Our coffee printer can reproduce suitable logos, QR codes and campaign designs on the surface of selected milk-based drinks. This is available as an additional option.

Do you need access to water?

We do not normally require a connection to the venue’s mains-water supply. Our carts carry fresh water and collect wastewater internally.

What power supply is required?

Most setups require access to a standard 13A electrical socket. Two separate sockets may be recommended depending on the equipment and menu. We confirm the exact requirements before the event.

How many drinks can you serve per hour?

A streamlined setup can usually produce around 80–150 drinks per hour. The achievable volume depends on the menu, number of baristas and order flow. We recommend extra staff or additional stations for high-volume serving periods.

Do you work with marketing and experiential agencies?

Yes. We regularly work with agencies, event organisers and production teams. We can follow supplied brand guidelines, coordinate artwork approval and operate as part of a wider event-production schedule.

How early do you arrive?

We normally arrive 60–90 minutes before service begins. This gives us enough time to unload, install the branding, test the equipment and prepare the coffee station.

Do you provide branded coffee carts outside London?

Yes. We work throughout the UK and can support selected European events and multi-location activation tours. Travel and accommodation requirements are included separately where applicable.


Make Your Brand Part of Every Cup

Whether you need subtle logo placement or a completely transformed coffee cart, we can create a setup that looks professional, operates efficiently and gives guests a memorable reason to engage with your brand.

Tell us your event date, venue, estimated guest numbers, service time and preferred branding options, and we will prepare a tailored proposal.
