We bring the ritual to your event
Mobile espresso bar for festivals, weddings, corporate mornings and brand activations across Brisbane and SE Queensland.
Coffee Cart Hire Brisbane
Most events treat coffee as an afterthought. We don't. Wherever you're hosting, we bring the full service to you. Specialty coffee, skilled hands, and the kind of energy that makes people actually stop and stay a while.
The Setup
We show up with everything needed for a proper coffee service — all we need from you is power and a bump-in window. Whether it's a corporate floor or a festival paddock, we fit into the space and leave your guests with something worth coming back for.
Signature drinks
Specialty espresso, cold brew, matcha, and alt-milk everything. We dial it in to suit the crowd — or work with you to build a signature drink around your event if that's the vibe.
Nibbles
Good coffee deserves something alongside it. Ask us about adding house bakes and sweets to your service — the kind of things that disappear fast.
The vibe
The Mourning Roast crew don't just show up and press buttons. We're passionate about what we do, and it shows — in the cup, in the conversation, and in the kind of service your guests actually notice. This is what we're built for.
Event Packages
-
Corporate fuel-up
from $850
This one's for the morning briefings, the busy business brunch, the gym floor at 6am, the tradie crew that shows up before the sun does. We set up, dial in, and keep the coffee moving — so you can focus on running the thing. Strong, fast, and actually good.
-
Private functions & weddings
from $1,500
Your guests are dressed up, the vibe is high, and everyone’s thirsty. We come in as the coffee moment — the thing people didn't know they needed until they're standing at the bar at 10pm asking for a double. Built for weddings, engagement parties, and the kind of private functions where the details matter.
-
Brand activations & festivals
Custom quote
Big crowds, long days, and no room for a coffee service that can't keep up. We're built for the chaos — festivals, rodeos, cultural events, artist hospitality, brand activations where the coffee needs to be as considered as everything else on the floor. Every event gets scoped properly. Get in touch.
