We’re Year-Round at the Columbia City Market

If you’ve grabbed a latte from our cart in the neighborhood recently, you already know the vibe: Columbia City shows up. Rain or shine, this community knows how to support local makers, small businesses, and good coffee.

We’re excited to share that Filter & Shot Coffee is now vending year-round at the Columbia City Market—which means more chances to catch us, more seasonal drink specials, and more consistency for your weekend (or weekday) routine.

Whether you’re a black coffee regular, an iced latte loyalist, or someone who likes trying whatever “special” we’re pouring that month, we’ll see you at the market.

What to Expect at Our Cart

We built Filter & Shot around one simple idea: fast, friendly service + café-quality drinks anywhere. At the Columbia City Market, that means you can swing by for a quick grab-and-go coffee or take a moment to hang out and sip something fun.

Our core menu usually includes:

• Espresso + Americanos

• Lattes + cappuccinos (hot or iced)

• Mocha + flavored lattes

• Cold brew / iced coffee (when available)

• Hot cocoa (seasonally)

• Matcha + chai (depending on the market day setup)

• Italian soda (seasonally)

• Lemonade (seasonally)

  
  

We also rotate seasonal specials—think cozy winter flavors, spring refreshers, and limited-time menu drops that are designed for market mornings.

Tip: We post our upcoming market days and any special menu items on our social channels so you can plan your stop.

Why Columbia City

Columbia City has that rare mix of:

• People who genuinely love supporting local.

• Families and regulars who keep the energy steady.

• A neighborhood feel that makes vending actually feel like community (not just selling).

  
  

We’ve had some of our best conversations here—quick hellos that turn into “see you next week,” friendly regulars who bring friends, and marketgoers who come back later to try something new.

If you’re new to the area, the market is also a perfect way to discover the neighborhood: local vendors, great food, and a good reason to treat yourself to a coffee.

Coffee Catering While You’re Here

A lot of people meet us at markets first and then book us for a wedding, office event, school night, birthday party, or community gathering later.

If you’ve been thinking:

• “This cart would be perfect at our event,” or

• “We need something fun for our staff,” or

• “Can you do this for 50–200+ guests?”

  
  

Yep—we do that.

Filter & Shot is a mobile espresso catering company, and the market is one of the best places to see our setup, speed, and quality in real life.

We’ll keep the espresso flowing. See you at the Columbia City Market.

The Importance of Community Support

Community support is vital for small businesses like ours. It creates a thriving environment where everyone benefits. When you choose to shop local, you help keep our economy strong. You also contribute to the unique character of Columbia City.

Our presence at the market is more than just selling coffee. It’s about building relationships. We love hearing your stories and sharing our passion for coffee. Each cup we serve is made with care and dedication.

Seasonal Offerings and Events

As the seasons change, so do our offerings. We embrace the flavors of each season. In winter, we serve warm, comforting drinks. Spring brings fresh, vibrant flavors. Summer is all about refreshing iced beverages. Fall introduces cozy spices that warm the soul.

We also participate in local events. These gatherings allow us to connect with the community. We love being part of celebrations, whether they are weddings, corporate events, or community festivals. Our goal is to make every occasion special with our delicious espresso and professional service.

In conclusion, we are thrilled to be part of the Columbia City Market year-round. We look forward to serving you delicious coffee and creating memorable experiences. Thank you for supporting local businesses. Together, we can make every event special.
