PRIVATE EVENT RATES
every experience is unique
from the venue — to the occasion — to the people
2nd Rule’s coffee cart can fit almost anywhere, indoor and outdoor. Specialty coffee is an experience for both the barista and guest, so we find inspiration in crafting a cup at every gathering. The private rates are a simple presentation of 2nd Rule’s offerings, however every package is uniquely catered in consideration to the vision of the event, whether that means bigger or lesser cart presence. We’re here to make exceptional coffee and elevate the occasion just right.
commitment to pure ingredients
With 2nd Rule, the beans are roasted fresh just for each event. We are proud to be the only all-organic mobile espresso bar in New Jersey— from the beans and milks to the sugars and tea leaves. We believe in craft coffee that is whole, real, and natural. We select locally whenever possible, like our Stiles Honey.
The 2nd Rule Coffee cart is now accepting 2024 event inquiries.
We’re excited to hear what you have in mind!
