Our Story

Born from a
Morning Ritual

It all began with a simple daily rhythm. From the time my daughter was born, our mornings were defined by the quiet moments spent making coffee together. As soon as she was old enough to stand on her own, she became a natural at the bar—holding the mug, carefully pouring the milk, and proudly crafting the morning brew.

What started as a small routine quickly grew into our favorite tradition. The name Alongside Coffee is a tribute to those mornings spent side-by-side.

This business is a true labor of love, and we are beyond proud to share that same sense of connection and joy with you at your next event.

What Sets Us Apart

A coffee bar that feels like yours.

Most carts hand you a menu. We hand you a private link — a save-the-date where you shape your bar in the weeks before the day: choose a palette to match your colors, write a welcome to your guests, even craft signature drinks named for the two of you.

Yours to design

Choose a palette, a welcome, and signature drinks ahead of time, so the bar matches your day instead of a vendor's template.

Order from your seat

On the day, guests scan a small card at their table and order from their phone — no line, no crowding the bar.

Always in the know

A live tracker follows each drink from being made to ready, with first names up on the bar and a quiet text when it's done.

A keepsake to keep

Afterward, a private recap — drinks poured, a wall of guest names, the photos and notes they left you — to revisit and share.

All of it runs on Alongside Events — the platform we built ourselves, and the same one we pour our own weddings on. It's the part most coffee carts simply can't offer.

Travel

Serving the PNW

We provide full-service specialty coffee bars across the Greater Seattle Area, including Federal Way, Bellevue, Tacoma, and beyond.

Distance is no obstacle for a great cup of coffee. Inquire for custom travel quotes outside our standard radius.

Common Questions

We pull our shots exclusively on a La Marzocco Linea Mini. It brings the power, temperature stability, and precision of a world-class cafe directly to your event.

We typically arrive 1 to 1.5 hours prior to your event's start time to dial in the espresso, calibrate the grinders, and prepare the bar.

Yes! We provide all necessary premium cups, lids, stirrers, and napkins for your guests.

Yes, to secure your date on our calendar, we require a signed agreement and a 50% non-refundable retainer.

Yes — Alongside is a licensed business and fully insured. We're happy to provide a certificate of insurance (COI) for your venue whenever one is required.

No, our cart is completely self-contained. We bring our own triple-filtered water supply.

We plug into any standard 120V outlet within 50 feet. A dedicated 15 or 20-amp circuit is preferred.

We serve the entire Greater Seattle Area. Travel within 30 miles of Auburn, WA is included.

Not the usual kind. Guests scan a QR code and order right from their phone, then get a text the moment their drink is ready — so there's no crowd standing at the bar. Every drink is still handcrafted individually, so at peak moments there can be a short wait for your cup; for larger events a two-barista setup keeps drinks moving even faster.

Yes — every Alongside event includes QR code mobile ordering. Guests scan a small card, order from their phone, watch a live tracker as their drink moves from being made to ready, and get an SMS text when it's done. Hosts can brand the ordering page and name signature drinks, and afterward receive a private recap of the event — the drinks poured, a wall of guest names, and the notes guests left. It all runs on Alongside Events, the platform we built and run ourselves.
