Mobile Coffee Cart & Catering in Nashville & Clarksville

A self-contained espresso bar on wheels · Nashville & Clarksville, TN

The Roaring Bean mobile coffee cart set up and ready to serve at an event

A mobile coffee cart brings a full espresso bar — equipment, specialty coffee, and professional baristas — directly to your event. In Nashville and Clarksville, TN, The Roaring Bean's mobile coffee cart starts at $9 per guest with a 50-guest minimum. Our vintage 1920s-inspired cart is fully self-contained: it needs only a standard outlet and a level spot, sets up before your guests arrive, and serves made-to-order drinks all event long. Across the 4,500+ drinks we've poured at events, the most-requested drink is a latte and one in three orders is iced — the kind of variety a drip urn simply can't match.

How It Works

How a Mobile Coffee Cart Works at Your Event

Self-contained, turnkey, and stress-free from arrival to breakdown

We Arrive Early

Fully Self-Contained

The cart rolls in ahead of your guests and sets up in about 30 minutes. All we need is a standard electrical outlet and a level spot — no plumbing, no kitchen access, indoors or out. Your venue and coordinator have nothing to manage.

Baristas Serve to Order

Made Fresh, Drink by Drink

Professional baristas craft each drink to order — lattes, cappuccinos, cold brew, americanos, and more — staffed at roughly one barista per 70 guests so lines stay short and the energy stays high.

A Custom Menu

Built Around Your Event

We design a drink menu for your gathering, complete with a personalized display board. Add a custom signature drink named for the couple, company, or occasion — a detail guests remember.

We Leave No Trace

Full Breakdown Included

When service wraps, we break down, pack out, and leave your space exactly as we found it. Setup and breakdown are always included in the per-guest rate — never an add-on.
