Mobile Espresso, Wherever Your Event Is

Alongside Coffee is a women-owned mobile espresso bar based in Auburn, WA — right in the heart of the South Sound. We serve Tacoma, Bellevue, Federal Way, and every city in between. Wherever the event lands, the cart shows up the same: a La Marzocco Linea Mini, organic Canyon Coffee beans, and premium syrups.

Being based in Auburn means we're closer to South Sound venues than most Seattle-based carts. Less travel time, more flexibility for your schedule, and no surprise travel fees for cities within our 30-mile radius.

Why choose an Auburn-based coffee cart over a Seattle one?

Being based in Auburn puts us closer to South Sound venues than most Seattle carts — less travel time, more flexibility for your schedule, and no surprise travel fees for cities within our 30-mile radius.

Can you set up in parks and outdoor venues around Tacoma and Bellevue?

Yes. The cart is fully self-contained — we bring our own triple-filtered water, cups, and supplies, and need only a standard 120V outlet within 50 feet. It works indoors and outdoors, rain or shine.
