We're based in New Jersey — with cafes in Summit and Westfield — and we bring the same specialty coffee we serve every morning to events across the state and into New York City. Whether you're planning a corporate event in Manhattan, a brand activation in Jersey City, a conference in Morristown, or a private gathering in Hoboken, we handle everything from setup to last call.

Our Coffee Catering Setup
Premium Coffee Catering for your Event
Every Boxwood catering package starts with our mobile espresso cart, a full espresso machine, and a skilled barista — everything you need to serve café-quality coffee at your event. From there, you can add cold brew, matcha, iced drinks, and custom branded elements to match your event exactly.
Mobile Espresso Bar
Our signature setup: a premium mobile cart, commercial espresso machine, and an experienced barista pulling shots from the first guest to the last. Espresso, lattes, cappuccinos, and teas are all on by default.
Cold Brew, Matcha & Iced Drinks
Round out your menu with cold brew coffee, matcha, and iced espresso drinks — a favorite at warm-weather events, outdoor activations, and any gathering where the line for cold drinks gets long fast.
Custom Menus & Signature Drinks
Build a drink menu around your event. We’ll create a custom latte or brand one of ours — like our Honey Cinnamon Latte for Mike’s Hot Honey — perfect for launches and activations where the drink is part of the experience.

Custom Branded Coffee Experiences
For brand activations, product launches, and corporate events where the coffee bar is part of the story — not just a service — we can build a setup that's entirely yours.
What can be customized:
Branded Cart — Cart wraps and signage in your brand colors, turning the espresso station into a visual asset.
Custom Cups & Packaging — Put your logo, event name, or sponsor mark on every cup that leaves the bar.
Signature Drink Creation — We'll develop a drink (or a full menu) that fits your event, your brand, or your product. If you're launching a new product, we've done collaborations that put that product in the drink.
Custom Latte Art — Request a logo, shape, or pattern on every drink. Guests photograph it. It travels.
Personalized Menus — Your event gets its own drink names. Guests feel it. It's a small detail that makes a big impression.
How It Works
From the First Message to the Last Drink, We Keep It Moving
Once you reach out, we help you figure out what makes sense for your event — the right cart setup, the right menu, and the right flow based on your guest count, space, and location across NJ or NYC. The goal is to make sure it feels thought through, not thrown together at the last minute.
After that, we take care of everything behind the scenes. We coordinate staffing, equipment, timing, setup logistics, and any custom touches that need to be worked in. There is a lot that goes into making event service feel easy, and this is the part where we make sure it does.
On the day of the event, our job is to show up ready and make it all feel natural in the room. We want the service to look polished, feel welcoming, and leave people talking about how good the coffee and matcha actually were.
Cities We Serve in New Jersey
New York
We also serve parts of PA, including the Philadelphia area.
Do you travel to New York City?
Yes. We regularly cater events in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the broader NYC metro area. NYC events may include a travel fee depending on location and event size — we'll include this in your quote. Reach out and we'll tell you exactly what to expect.
What areas of New Jersey do you serve?
We serve all of New Jersey, with a home base in Summit and Westfield. We've done events throughout Morris County, Union County, Hudson County, Middlesex County, and beyond. If you're in NJ, we'll be there.
What do you need to setup?
All we need is level ground, a 5x5-foot area, a power outlet on a dedicated circuit, a space accessible by wheels so we can get our cart in place, and a day-of point of contact to show us where to set up.
Can you setup outside?
Absolutely. Depending on your event needs, we can even bring a generator so we can power the cart without an outlet.
How do you price your packages?
We charge by the hour, and all of our packages are fully inclusive of the cost of our baristas, equipment, travel fees, and supplies, including coffee, cups and lids, regular and alternative milks (oat milk), and our housemade syrups.
What drinks do you offer?
Our carts are coffee shops on wheels. We serve café classics like espresso, cappuccinos, lattes, drip coffee, loose leaf teas, and matcha, along with our house-made syrups (Lavender Vanilla, Caramel Cardamom, Mocha). We also offer our signature Honey Cinnamon Latte and can create a custom signature drink for your event. Cold brew and iced drinks available as add-ons.
Can you create a custom drink menu for our event?
Absolutely. We've built full custom drink menus for corporate events, brand activations, and private parties — including branded drinks tied to a sponsor or product launch. Tell us what you're thinking and we'll make it work.
How far in advance should I book?
For most events, 2–4 weeks advance notice is ideal. For larger conferences or events with custom branding, more lead time is helpful. We can often accommodate shorter timelines — reach out and we'll let you know what's possible.
