Cars & Coffee and Automative Event Coffee Catering

Great cars deserve great coffee. Ben and Halle bring Solarium Coffee's mobile espresso bar to Cars & Coffee gatherings, dealership events, showroom activations, and enthusiast meetups. Our setup is built for early mornings, outdoor venues, and crowds that care about craft. Single-origin espresso from George Howell Coffee Company, house-made syrups, and a cart that looks as intentional as the machines parked beside it.

Coffee That Matches the Attention to Detail

Cars & Coffee culture is about people who notice craft. The beans are single-origin, not commodity. The syrups are house-made, not pumped from a commercial bottle. The latte art is pulled by hand. This is not a Keurig station with a folding table. It is the same level of care your attendees put into their builds.

Our cart is self-contained and outdoor-capable. We carry a generator for lots without accessible power and a 12x12 ft tent for weather coverage. We can set up as early as your event needs, including pre-dawn for early-morning meetups.

Events We Serve in the Automotive Space

Cars & Coffee meetups. The Saturday morning classic. We serve the crowd while they walk the lot.

Dealership events and customer appreciation. An espresso bar in the showroom or on the lot elevates the customer experience beyond free donuts.

Concours and car show events. Specialty coffee service that complements a premium event atmosphere.

Private car club gatherings. Members-only events at private venues or estates.

Showroom activations and product launches. New model reveals, brand partnerships, and VIP events.

Cars & Coffee Event FAQ

  • Yes. We carry a generator for lots without accessible power and a 12x12 ft tent for sun or weather coverage.

  • As early as your event requires. For 7am Cars & Coffee events, we arrive well before the first attendees to be fully dialed in.

  • Yes. Custom cup branding is available with two weeks notice.

  • One barista serves approximately 50 guests per hour. For larger events, two baristas double that. Cars & Coffee events tend to have a steady flow rather than a rush, which means our per-hour capacity covers more attendees than the number suggests.

  • Solarium Coffee is owned and run by Ben and Halle, and we are personally involved in planning every event we book. Most of the time, one or both of us is the barista on site. For larger events or when our schedule requires it, we are joined by a trained team member who has been brought up directly by us. Whoever is at your event is held to the same standard of service that we are.
