Weddings & receptions
The cart becomes the spot guests keep coming back to. Late-night lattes after dinner, an espresso bar during cocktail hour, or a matcha moment at a Dallas–Fort Worth brunch reception.

what's included
What comes with coffee cart catering in Dallas–Fort Worth
One booking covers the cart, the equipment, the baristas and the drinks. We arrive early, serve your guests, and pack out without you having to think about it.
The cart, delivered and set up
We roll in ahead of schedule, set up the mobile espresso bar, and handle the breakdown afterwards. You do not lift a thing.
Handcrafted espresso, coffee and matcha
Lattes, cappuccinos, americanos, cold brew, drip and ceremonial-grade matcha — every drink made to order, one guest at a time.
Professional baristas who talk to your guests
Our baristas are the reason the cart becomes the gathering spot rather than a station people pass once. They keep the line moving without rushing anyone through what should be a memorable part of the day.
A custom menu board
Printed with your names, your logo, your event — signage that ties the cart to the rest of your styling. Guests read their own name at the top of the coffee menu.
House-made syrups
Vanilla, honey, hazelnut, lavender and caramel, made from scratch — plus seasonal specialty drinks we build for the event.
Branded cups
Every drink leaves the cart on-brand and photographs beautifully in every guest's hand all night.
the drink menu
A specialty coffee menu your guests will actually talk about
Our beans are imported from farms around the world and roasted fresh before each event — not pulled off a shelf. Syrups are made from scratch, and the matcha is ceremonial grade. We build the final menu with you, so a Dallas–Fort Worth wedding and a Monday-morning office pop-up never get the same list.

who you're hiring
Aziel and Bri — and one very well-loved coffee cart
Encounter Coffee started in October 2025 with, honestly, nothing but passion and drive. Bri and I wanted to build something where people could encounter great coffee, encounter each other, and encounter the love and service of Jesus — one cup at a time.
That is still the whole thesis. We import our beans from farms around the world and roast them fresh before each event. We make our syrups from scratch. We use ceremonial-grade matcha because the powdered stuff tastes like the powdered stuff. And we stay behind the cart all night talking to your guests, because that is the part we actually love.
We're a husband-and-wife, Hispanic-owned small business serving Dallas–Fort Worth and the rest of North Texas. When you book us, we are the ones who show up.

before you book
Frequently asked questions
The questions we get asked most before a booking. If yours is not here, ask it on the quote form — we answer every one.
What is coffee cart catering?
Coffee cart catering means a full mobile espresso bar is brought to your venue — cart, equipment, baristas and supplies included — and your guests order handcrafted drinks in person, made to order, for as long as you book us. Encounter Coffee brings the cart, sets it up, serves espresso, specialty coffee and ceremonial matcha, then breaks it all down and packs out.
It is different from drop-off catering: nothing sits in an urn getting bitter. Every latte, cappuccino, americano and matcha is pulled and poured in front of the guest who ordered it.
Which areas of Dallas–Fort Worth do you serve?
We cater events across the whole Metroplex and the rest of North Texas — Fort Worth, Dallas, Arlington, Southlake, Grapevine, Keller, Colleyville, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Irving, Denton and everywhere in between. If your venue is outside that list, tell us where it is on the quote form and we'll confirm travel.
How much does coffee cart catering cost in DFW?
Pricing depends on your guest count, how many hours of service you want and the drink menu you choose, so we quote every event individually rather than publishing a flat rate that would be wrong for most people. Send us your date, venue and rough head count and we'll come back with a real number and a proposed menu — no obligation.
What drinks do you serve?
Lattes, cappuccinos, americanos, straight espresso, cold brew, drip coffee, pour-over and iced coffee, plus ceremonial-grade matcha lattes. Syrups — vanilla, honey, hazelnut, lavender and caramel — are made from scratch, and we can add seasonal specialty drinks or a signature drink built for your event. Oat and almond milk are always available, and decaf on request.
Do you provide the baristas and all the supplies?
Yes. Cups, lids, milk, beans, syrups, matcha, ice and the espresso equipment all come with the cart, and Aziel and Bri are the baristas behind it. You do not need to supply anything on the coffee side.
Can you put our names or our company logo on the cart?
Yes — that is one of our favorite parts. We print a custom menu board for your event with your names or your company on it, and every drink goes out in a branded cup. It photographs beautifully, which matters more than people expect.
How far in advance should we book?
We are booking 2026 and 2027 dates now. Peak wedding weekends in spring and fall go first, so if you have a date in mind it is worth asking early — even if the rest of your details are still up in the air.
Can you serve indoors and outdoors?
Both. We have served indoor venues, covered patios and open-air receptions under string lights across North Texas. Tell us where the cart will live on the quote form — indoors, under a tent, or out on the lawn — and we'll confirm what the setup needs at that specific venue.
