When a company brings Motivāt into their office or event, coffee stops being a checkbox and becomes the moment of the day. Our corporate coffee catering puts a full espresso bar and professional baristas wherever your people are — the lobby, the conference floor, the rooftop offsite.
We've served teams at Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft, Meta, SiriusXM, Genentech, HP, Logitech, Cisco, Atlassian, and TriplePoint Capital, along with property teams at Greystar, Bozzuto, Equity Residential, and Saarman, hotel programs with Rosewood Hotel Group and the Omni San Francisco, public agencies like AC Transit, and organizations like the IETF. From a 20-person board meeting to a 2,000-person tech conference, the standard doesn't change.

Cart, commercial machine, and baristas — scaled with additional machines and staff for big crowds.

Barista standby hours keep the bar available across a full conference agenda.
Full drink menu
Espresso drinks, drip coffee, cold brew, matcha, pour over, and iced beverages.

Fast, responsive booking
Real people, quick quotes, and last-minute booking when plans move.
Office coffee catering that people actually line up for
Employee appreciation days, new-office launches, weekly barista pop-ups, investor days, recruiting events — a staffed espresso bar draws people out of their desks and into the room in a way pastry boxes never will. It's the difference between catering that gets consumed and catering that gets remembered.
For workplaces, we run clean and self-sufficient: our cart, our equipment, our serviceware. You book the window; we handle everything else.
Conference and event coffee service at scale
Serving coffee to a conference is a throughput problem, and we've solved it at 2,000-person scale. Additional espresso machines and baristas keep waits short; drip coffee service (about 75 servings per batch) absorbs the morning rush; cold brew and iced drinks cover afternoon sessions. Tell us the agenda and headcount, and we'll spec machines, staff, and batches to match.

Real reviews from real guests and event hosts.
“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.”
