Frequently asked questions

Common questions about hiring a barista in DC.

Can I hire a barista without the full cart setup?
Yes. If you have existing espresso equipment we can provide staffing only — a trained barista who operates your machines. Or book our full mobile setup including equipment, beans, and supplies.
What areas do you cover for barista hire?
We cover Washington DC, Northern Virginia (Arlington, Alexandria, Tysons, Reston, Fairfax), and Maryland (Bethesda, Silver Spring, Rockville, Hyattsville). Travel up to 100 miles for a flat fee.
Can the barista develop a signature drink for our event?
Yes. We can create a custom signature drink — named for your brand, event, or occasion — using our Ethiopian beans and your choice of flavor profile. Available on Medium and Large packages.
How long can the barista stay?
There is no maximum. Minimum booking is 1 hour. Typical events run 3–4 hours. We support recurring weekly or monthly office bookings as well.
What is the booking process?
