Coffee Catering in Framingham, MA
Owner-Operated | No Travel Fee for Framingham Events | 5.0 ★ (50+) on Google | Services Start at $599 | Specialty Coffee from Local MA Roasters
Solarium Coffee is a Framingham business. When you book us for a Framingham event, you are not paying a travel fee, and you are not getting a vendor who drove in from somewhere else. Ben and Halle live here. They know Eastleigh Farm, the Renaissance Hotel Conference Center on Route 9, and the Framingham Technology Park. When logistics come up during the booking process, this city is already familiar territory.
Framingham has a genuinely strong business community, a busy event calendar, and a mix of venues that ranges from historic estates to outdoor green spaces. The city's corporate corridor runs through the Shoppers World area and up and down Route 9, and the community event scene is active year-round. That variety is one reason Framingham is one of the busiest markets Solarium serves.
The coffee itself is sourced through a personal relationship with George Howell Coffee Company, one of Massachusetts' most respected specialty roasters. Single-origin espresso is the foundation of every drink. The syrups, including Halle's Morning and Cinnamon Sugar, are made from scratch. This is not off-the-shelf coffee service.
Services start at $599, with no travel fee for Framingham events. Fill out the booking form for a free, instant quote.
Most Popular Services in Framingham
Here are the most popular event types we book. If you don’t see yours here, check out all our services.
Premium Corporate Coffee Catering
When Framingham businesses choose us, they're keeping it local. Framingham has a genuinely strong business community that we are happy to be a part of. We serve companies up and down Route 9, through the Shoppers World corridor, and across the city's commercial districts. We know what a well-run corporate coffee service looks like because we have done a lot of them.
What corporate clients here tend to care about most:
A vendor who shows up on time, sets up without disrupting the space, and clears out cleanly when service ends
Drinks that are actually good, not just passable
A single point of contact from the initial quote through the end of the event
We arrive before your event, set up without disrupting your space, run clean and efficient service throughout, and clear out completely when we are done. If you want branded cups or a cart wrapped in your company colors, we can handle that too with two weeks of lead time.
Coffee Cart for Weddings and Celebrations
A coffee bar works at nearly every point in a wedding day. During cocktail hour it gives guests something to do while you finish portraits. Late in the reception it keeps energy up for dancing. At a morning ceremony it is the welcome guests did not know they needed.
Ben and Halle serve weddings at Framingham venues including the Estate on the River, Framingham Country Club, Garden in the Woods, and the Renaissance Hotel and Conference Center, as well as private residences and outdoor spaces across the city. Because Solarium is owner-operated, they coordinate directly with your venue, handle all event logistics, and are your single point of contact from the first quote to the last drink of the night. There is no handoff to a staffer you have not spoken to.
Beyond weddings, the same service applies to birthday parties, bridal and baby showers, anniversary celebrations, graduation parties, and holiday gatherings of any size.
Community Events, Pop-Ups, and School Events
If you have seen Solarium at a Market at Eastleigh Farm or another Framingham community event, you already know what the experience looks like. That same setup, the same baristas, and the same drink quality comes directly to your private event or school gathering.
PTO and teacher appreciation events are among the most regularly booked events on the Framingham calendar, and genuinely some of Ben and Halle's favorites. Solarium also serves nonprofit fundraisers, fitness and wellness events, and community pop-ups throughout the city.
For school events: Hot chocolate is available as an add-on for events with younger guests.

What People Are Saying
Solarium Coffee holds a 5.0-star rating on Google. We consistently hear that our clients love both the directness of working with Ben and Halle and that the coffee drinks are of the highest quality.
★★★★★
Ben at Solarium was fantastic and so professional to work with for a corporate event I set up with him. On top of him being a great and quick communicator, the coffee cart set up was impressive and aesthetic, and the drinks themselves were unbelievable. I will be thinking of the coffees I had from Solarium for a very long time and will be setting up future events with Ben so I can get my Solarium coffee fix from him!!
Gillian, Corporate Event Planner
★★★★★
I had the pleasure of trying Solarium Coffee on a commercial video production set, and it was game-changing! Their menu is phenomenal and very unique. I especially fell in love with their honey-bergamot latte. Hire them for your events! Your guests will thank you for it!
Felipe, Production Assistant
★★★★★
We loved having Solarium Coffee join us at Medway Parks and Recreation's annual Trunk or Treat! Their cold brews, lattes, and teas were such a hit with everyone and delicious. Ben and Halle were awesome to work with, super easygoing and quick to respond, which made planning a breeze. We're so glad they were part of the fun and can't wait to team up again in the future!
Marissa, Community Event Organizer
★★★★★
100+ guests attending the recent brunch at our home were delighted with Solarium Coffee! Starting with high quality beans, the owners/baristas offered a variety of delicious beverages and topped them off with creative, fun designs. As the host, I could not have asked for more professional, kind, thorough and attentive interactions with Solarium. They will not disappoint!

How Booking Solarium Coffee Works
Step 1: Get Your Free Quote
Fill out our booking form with your event date, Framingham location, estimated guest count, and service window. Services start at $599, with no travel fee for Framingham events. A price comes back in minutes, not a callback 24 hours later.
Step 2: Talk Through the Details
You will speak directly with Ben or Halle. Walk through any add-ons you are considering and confirm logistics like space and power access. Framingham is familiar territory for us at this point, which makes this step quick. If your event is at a venue we know, we can often confirm logistics without a site visit.
Step 3: Reserve Your Date
Your date is held once a booking agreement is signed and a deposit is received. Spring and fall weekends fill up early, sometimes months in advance. Framingham's spring PTO season and fall corporate calendar are busy stretches worth booking ahead.
Step 4: We Handle the Rest
Ben and Halle arrive before your guests, set up without disrupting your space, run great service throughout your event, and clear out completely when it is over. You will not have to manage us. Your guests will remember the coffee.
Coffee Catering Pricing and Capacity
Our pricing is based on the length of your service window, your estimated guest count, event location, and any add-ons you select.
Services start at $599. Framingham events have no travel fee.
When you fill out our booking form, you get a price in minutes, not a callback 24 hours later. If you want a rough estimate before filling out the form, call or email us and we will give you a ballpark right away.
A few things that shape your Framingham coffee catering quote:
Service duration: We price by the hour. Most events run 2 to 3 hours of active coffee service.
Guest count: Not every guest drinks coffee, and not everyone visits at once. We help you right-size the booking.
Add-ons: Custom branding, cold brew, matcha, chai, and other options are available upon request. Most clients find the base package covers their event well.

As soon as you know your date, reach out. We limit our availability to maintain quality, and popular dates fill up. Two weeks of lead time is typically enough for weekday events and off-peak weekends, but peak season weekends book further out. That said, we always try to accommodate last-minute requests, so don't hesitate to reach out even if your event is close.
-
A booking agreement and deposit are required to hold your date. Once both are received, your date is confirmed and you are done until event day.
