This award-winning coffee cart defines the standard for elite coffee catering in Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego.
In eternal pursuit of a transcendent experience and a peerless beverage, we proudly offer our one-of-a-kind
Coffee Cart x Conscious Bean
The Coffee cart
We designed our coffee cart to be beautiful, eco-conscious, and highly functional. This Coffee Cart x Conscious Bean comes complete, offering a “plug-and-play” coffee catering event. This means all we need from you is a power source we can plug into. We provide everything else!
Each drink is bespoke to each guest’s palette as we custom tailor over 30 drink combinations of espresso, tea, and caffeine-free to each guest, with unlimited beverage service during our visit. With one highly skilled barista crafting about 75 drinks per hour from this one mobile espresso bar!
Our innovative menu allows us to move the line 165% faster than classic ordering processes while ensuring each guest gets exactly what their taste buds want- even if there is a miss in cultural translation (certain cultures call any espresso drink with milk a latte- though a classic latte is a specific volumetric drink.) With over a decade of coffee catering, we’ve leveraged that intelligence, creating this innovative menu especially for events. The intuitive process personalizes the drink, tells the story of the offerings to paint the picture of enjoyment to come, and speeds up the coffee catering line simultaneously.
Our bar is our theater, like a mobile art installation. Against this clean, shimmering steel bar, everything action pops. The roll of the steam from the wand. The silver whisks strike. The barista’s deft hands craft bespoke delicacies. The purple petals of lavender from the homemade flavorings. The deep, dark richness of the raw cacao. The velvety white grass-fed, organic dairy shimmering from the fire-engine red steaming pitcher into the sustainably sourced carte blanche cup. To us, each finished cup we offer is a one-of-a-kind piece of art created just for you.

Consciously Curated Ingredients
Grass-fed, Local, organic Dairy
Cow’s milk is the main ingredient in most American coffee drinks. How the cow is raised and what they are fed will make a massive difference in the texture, quality, and taste of the dairy.
Straus’ Creamery has been an organic, non-GMO, and sustainable dairy farm since 1994. They have such advanced sustainability practices, their farm is actually a closed-loop biome fully capable of sustaining itself! The farm is set right on the California coastline. The Pacific marine layer gives a unique flavor to the grass, and in turn, the grass-fed cows deliver a special, one-of-a-kind, rich and delicious milk. We order this exceptional dairy fresh from the farm for each event.
Non-Dairy: For those desiring an alternative to cow’s milk, we also provide a rotating selection of organic, non-GMO non-dairy options, specifically selected to pair with the ingredients prepared for your event.
Handcrafted Coffee Syrups/Sauces
For your event, we craft seasonal flavors, from-scratch, with only superior ingredients. Our freshly made syrups are slowly steeped for at least 36 hours and well beyond. Resulting in conscious coffee syrups with a clean, rich, and only lightly sweet flavor.
“The lavender coffee syrup changed my life. I never knew it could taste like that. Truly Incredible!”
Hand-Ground Masala Milk Chai
We join organic Indian Assam tea with hand-picked and hand-ground spices of fancy green cardamom, ginger, two types of cinnamon, fresh ground pepper, and pink Himalayan sea salt for a robust, complex, and smooth flavor.

It’s very floral, For our coffee catering, we pair this incredible raw cacao with the least refined sugar on the planet - Rapadura cane.

Resonant Water
Water is the majority of our bodies, earth, and your cup of coffee,
Far too important to be overlooked as any imperfection will affect the taste of your beverage.
Our water goes through a seven-phase, reverse-osmosis filtration system for absolute purity. Then we replace in exacting proportions, the specific minerals that boost and brighten the espresso. Finally, we take time and actively infuse it with elements that can only come from the heart for an exceptional extraction you can taste and feel.

Answer: Our bars are optimized to run on a regular 110 circuit (unless we specify otherwise) just like you would plug your tv or a toaster into. All we require from you is one *dedicated three-prong outlet within 25 feet of where you would like us set up. That’s it, that’s all we require from you!
If you’re looking for specifics; the plug type is a NEMA 5/15.
*Dedicated means nothing else is plugged into the same circuit. One circuit can be used for multiple outlets. Often, all the outlets on a wall will be connected to the same circuit. Our bar requires exactly 20 amps to function properly, which is the exact maximum amount your circuit can safely provide! It’s a beautiful thing.
If you don’t have an available outlet/circuit available within the requested 25 feet. With proper notice, we can provide up to an additional 50 ft of an extension cord.

Answer: Our bars are optimized to run at full pace with one skilled barista. We can pump out 75 drinks an hour with just one, (this is the important word) skilled barista. Other services will supply multiple people at near minimum wage and know that error will be offset by the additional hands. One skilled barista can do the work of two less experienced staff with ease and grace, tailoring each drink and creating a personal connection for each guest. We only utilize highly skilled staff, top-of-the-line equipment, and specific practices that maximize output while not sacrificing quality or experience. We would be happy to provide additional staff at a rate of 80$ an hour if you are concerned but trust us, we have done thousands of events and have a solid sense of what works. It’s our name too so trust us, we won’t lead you astray. With that said, on certain occasions of very high volume, interstate travel, or other unique circumstances we will directly let you know if and why we feel it’s important to have more hands. Maybe the metaphor here is; Regardless of how many we bring, we promise you’re in good hands.
-
Answer: We arrive 2 hours before our start time for load-in and set-up. This gives us ample time to resolve all of the unknowns and location-based circumstances that always pop up, to make sure we start on time and in good spirits. Please contact us with special set up requirements. catering@consciousbean.com
