Coffee Catering for Teacher Appreciation & PTO Events

Teachers give everything to their students so a great cup of coffee is the least we can do. Solarium Coffee works with PTOs, parent groups, and school administrators to bring a premium espresso bar experience to teacher appreciation events, staff luncheons, end-of-year celebrations, and school fundraisers.

We handle everything. You show up, your teachers walk up to a beautifully presented mobile coffee cart staffed by warm, professional baristas, and they leave with a drink that feels like a real treat…not a boring old K-cup.

What we bring to your teacher appreciation event:

  • Unlimited coffee service — every teacher and staff member gets served as many drinks as they'd like during your event window

  • A menu that impresses — lattes, cappuccinos, americanos, and crowd-favorite signature drinks like Halle's Morning (a smooth oat milk vanilla latte) and Cinnamon Sugar (brown sugar cinnamon syrup, steamed milk, dusted with cinnamon sugar)

  • House-made syrups — because your teachers deserve scratch-made, not store-bought

  • Seasonal specials — ask us about our rotating seasonal menu to add a little surprise to the day

  • Whole milk and oat milk — we accommodate dietary preferences without making it complicated

  • Optional custom cup branding — add the school name or a "Thank You" message to every cup for a personalized touch

Our mobile cart is self-contained and flexible, fitting naturally into school lobbies, staff lounges, gymnasiums, and outdoor courtyards. We bring the equipment, the coffee, and the good vibes. You take the credit.

Pricing starts at $650 for up to 2 hours of service with one barista, serving an estimated 80 drinks. For larger staff or longer events, we scale up accordingly. Optional add-ons like specialty drip coffee and chai lattes are perfect for teachers who prefer something other than espresso.

Give your educators a moment that says we see you. Book Solarium Coffee for your next PTO or teacher appreciation event.
