Frequently Asked Questions
- For the cart, we prefer to have at least 3
weeks’ notice. We can occasionally swing a weekday cart rental on
shorter notice, so don’t hesitate to reach out! - For catering orders,
we typically need 24-48 hours’ notice. This varies on the size and
nature of the order. Again, the earlier the better, but we can usually
swing a last minute catering order on a weekday!
- For a coffee cart rental: barista service;
unlimited espresso bar service (coffee and non-coffee drinks), milk
options (whole, oat, almond), and a variety of syrups. For weddings, we
also hand-paint a keepsake sign for the couple! We bring everything we
need to operate as a coffee shop on wheels, but we prefer to get power
from the venue (otherwise we have to use our generator). - For catering orders:
your choice of drip coffee, cold brew, and/or pre-made iced lattes;
cups, lids, sleeves, straws, creamers, sugars, ice, etc.; labels and/or
signage that clearly shows what your guests are about to enjoy :)
If you would like a barista present to serve your catered coffee, we can do that!
Yes! However, we can only make coffee so fast… if you’re looking to pick up 1-2 coffee carafes (aka “boxes”), we can usually turn those around in ~30 minutes. Again, we prefer 24-48 hours notice for coffee carafes when possible, so that we can prepare our team accordingly!
- For the cart, we’ve worked events as early as 6am and as late as midnight — thankfully our product is our fuel ;)
- For catering orders, we typically offer 7am as the earliest pick-up time, but if you need earlier, we can probably make it happen!
- For cart rentals: We need a path we can easily roll our cart on and power — that’s it! If your venue has stairs, we
will need a ramp or an elevator, as we cannot lift our cart. - For catering orders: We recommend having a table set up, so that the coffee, cups, and fixings can all be in one, easily accessible spot.
Yes! Our cafes are open 7 days a week and you are welcome to come in during business hours to give our drinks a try! If you’re looking for a true sampling (e.g. small tastes of several drinks, please shoot an email to calacoffeecart@gmail.com to schedule a time).
Yes! Non-coffee drinks that we offer off the coffee cart and with catering include: hot tea, iced tea, lemonade, matcha, and chai tea lattes (hot or iced).
We’ve worked events all over Birmingham and as far as Huntsville, Tuscaloosa, Auburn, and Talladega.
If you want Cala to be a part of your day, we’ll try to be there!
Yes! Pricing is determined on mileage and time commitment, but is typically $20-40.
Yes!
We have a typical cart catering menu, which includes coffee and non-coffee options, but we’ll work with you to make sure your favorite drinks and syrups are on there!
