Specialty Coffee for the East Bay's Most Discerning Crowd
Book Your Berkeley Event →Berkeley has one of the most sophisticated coffee cultures in the country — it's the city where the specialty coffee movement took root, and where Peet's was founded in 1966 on Vine Street. The people at Berkeley events have opinions about coffee. They notice the machine, the technique, the origin of the beans. A consumer-grade espresso setup or a hotel-catering drip station reads immediately as an afterthought. UC Berkeley programs, David Brower Center events, Berkeley Rep galas, and corporate functions at Elmwood and Fourth Street all carry a guest profile that expects quality.
Fez covers Berkeley as part of its Bay Area service area — no separate team, no different pricing. The same La Marzocco commercial equipment, locally roasted specialty beans, house-made syrups, and trained baristas that serve San Francisco's most demanding corporate events. For Berkeley, that means a bar that fits the room without needing to announce itself.
Berkeley Events We Cater
Corporate & Professional Events in Berkeley
Berkeley's professional event market spans Fourth Street office buildings, Elmwood and Northside corporate spaces, and tech company gatherings for firms that chose Berkeley for the talent ecosystem rather than the Peninsula commute. Fez provides mobile coffee catering for all-hands meetings, client events, product launches, and offsite retreats. COI available on request for all Berkeley venues.
UC Berkeley & University Events
Alumni gatherings, faculty events, symposia, department celebrations, and conference programs at UC Berkeley require a vendor who can work within campus requirements. Fez coordinates with UC Berkeley's events and facilities teams, carries full insurance and food handler certifications, and scales for Haas School of Business programs, Alumni House events, and multi-building conference setups.
East Bay Weddings — Claremont, Berkeley Hills & Beyond
The Claremont Club & Spa is Berkeley's anchor wedding venue — a Craftsman-style resort in the Berkeley Hills with views across the Bay. Fez has served estate weddings in the Berkeley Hills, garden receptions in Elmwood, and private estate gatherings across Rockridge. Every wedding booking includes a custom signature drink, full espresso bar, and ceremonial matcha add-on option.
Private Gatherings Across Berkeley's Neighborhoods
Birthday parties, graduation celebrations, baby showers, and private dinners across Elmwood, Rockridge, Northside, and the Berkeley Hills. Berkeley's residential event culture skews toward thoughtful, quality-first hosting — Fez's fully self-contained setup fits into garden spaces, indoor dining rooms, and backyard events without requiring venue infrastructure.
Brand Events & Activations in Berkeley
Fourth Street, Telegraph Avenue, and the Berkeley waterfront draw retail events, brand activations, and pop-up installations. Fez provides branded coffee bars for retail activations, grand openings, and brand events — custom cart wraps, printed cups, and latte art printing available for any Berkeley activation.

Three roles. One standard. No hand-offs.
Concierge Team
Your named concierge contact manages the inquiry, shapes the right setup for your event, and stays on the thread. Questions get answered before you think to ask them.
Event Production Team
Staffing, equipment, timing, logistics, and any custom branding — confirmed and coordinated before event day. You receive a clear service plan, not a checklist to manage.
Service
The cart is set. The team is briefed. Service runs cleanly and quietly in the room — exactly the way a well-run event should feel.
Berkeley Events, In Their Words
"We host our annual Haas alumni gathering at the Berkeley City Club and the bar is always the first thing people mention. Fez arrived knowing the venue, positioned the cart in exactly the right place, and the espresso quality matched the event. I've stopped thinking about the coffee service — it just works."
"Berkeley guests are picky about coffee in a way that's specific to this city — they've been to Chez Panisse, they know Blue Bottle, they have an opinion. Fez was the first coffee bar at one of our events that nobody complained about. That's the bar and they cleared it."
"The Claremont is a venue where everything has to look intentional. The Fez cart looked like it belonged there — the setup, the baristas, the way they presented the signature drink. Guests gathered at the bar like it was part of the room design."
