Matcha has earned its place at the modern event bar. Our matcha cart service brings café-quality matcha drinks to weddings, offices, and parties across the Bay Area — prepared properly by baristas who serve matcha every day at our Oakland café.
Book matcha as its own dedicated cart experience, or add matcha service to a full coffee bar so the espresso crowd and the matcha crowd are both covered at one station.
What's Included
Everything your event needs

Scalable staffing

Matcha catering for weddings, launches, and offices
A matcha bar photographs beautifully and gives non-coffee drinkers a premium option of their own — which is why couples add it to wedding coffee service and why brands pick it for launches and activations. In office settings, an afternoon matcha service is the break people actually show up for.
Like everything we serve, matcha gets the specialty treatment: proper preparation, real care, and baristas who engage your guests rather than just handing over a cup.

“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.”
