Half of every Bay Area crowd orders their coffee cold. Our cold brew catering covers them properly: smooth cold brew made from coffee we roasted in-house, plus a full iced beverage service — iced espresso drinks, iced matcha, and more.
Cold service is where events most often under-plan, and it shows by 2pm. Adding cold brew to your coffee bar keeps the afternoon line as happy as the morning one.

Built for warm days and afternoon agendas
Summer weddings, outdoor brand activations, afternoon conference sessions, office patios — anywhere the sun is out or the agenda runs past lunch, cold brew is the drink your guests actually want. We serve it the same way we serve espresso: with real baristas, real hospitality, and coffee from our own Oakland roastery.
Most clients add cold service to a full coffee bar; some warm-weather events run entirely on cold brew and iced drinks. Either way, one booking covers it.

“Motivat did the barista services for a private event I attended. The coffee was delicious, full bodied with tons of flavor. Later on I had a Chai Latte, creamy and very flavorful. Customer service was top notch, friendly and efficient. Really impressed with how professional this company is. Highly recommend this business!”
“Motivat has been catering coffee for our apartment building and it's been wonderful every time. Really friendly people and great coffee.”
“It was a school event, and the staff did an amazing job serving and making coffee. They really listened to our preferences and offered great recommendations. If you're looking for a vendor for your event, I would definitely recommend them!”
“Motivat often hosts pop ups at our apartment building and they're amazing! Love their lattes and seasonal syrups.”
“Love this little shop! So convenient and they always have fun seasonal flavors like basil syrup. I normally do some sort of matcha and theirs is one of the best in the area. Made properly and with customizable sweetness. The baristas here are always super friendly and quick as well!”
“They serve ice cream from a local creamery which is really good and the affogato made from it is delicious. The espresso is high quality!”
“Amazing lattes. Smallest hint of brightness rounds out a beautifully mellow sweetness. About as good as a latte gets. Limited seating”
“Love Motivāt—such great coffee, and am always so excited to try their seasonal specials, too! The pastries are perfect. Everyone who works there is lovely. So lucky to have this place close to work.”
“A cute coffee window with great coffee of all kinds- drip, cold brew, and espresso drinks. The staff is friendly and a nice parklet if you don't want to take your beverage to go.”
