Seattle Coffee Catering FAQs
How far in advance should I book?
Peak dates (May–Oct, holiday season) fill 4–8 weeks ahead. We can sometimes accommodate rush event requests.
Do you provide supplies for drop-off orders?
Yes. All drop-off catering includes a "Service Kit" with eco-friendly cups, stirrers, napkins, and a variety of sweeteners and creamers. You won’t need to provide a thing.
Can you do dairy-free?
Absolutely by request. Oat, almond, soy, coconut.
Can you operate outdoors?
For outdoor events, we recommend tent coverage or a venue-provided canopy in case of rain (common in Seattle!).
Do you travel outside Seattle?
Yes. We serve the greater Puget Sound area, including Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Tacoma, and all of Snohomish County (Everett, Marysville, Snohomish, etc.). Travel fees apply for locations outside of our immediate Seattle/Bellevue radius.
