Enhancements
Custom details that make the experience entirely yours.
Branded cups. Custom cart wraps. Ceremonial matcha. These are the enhancements that guests notice — the ones that make a coffee bar feel like an intentional part of the event, not a vendor rental. Every element below is available to add to any Fez booking.
Kleiner Perkins Annual Partner Summit
Every element — cart, cups, latte art — carried the Kleiner Perkins mark. This is what fully cohesive coffee catering looks like.
Latte Printing
Your logo or artwork printed directly onto each drink's foam using a Ripples printer.

Event Production Team
Staffing, equipment, timing, logistics, and any custom elements — confirmed and coordinated before event day. You receive a clear service plan, not a checklist to manage.

Client Stories
What Chicago event planners say about Fez.
The bar ran seamlessly from setup to the last pour. Guests were moving, the line never stalled, and every drink came out consistent. A week later, people were still asking who did the coffee.
Event Lead
Tech Company — Series C
500-Person Corporate Conference
It was the detail guests remembered. The ceremonial matcha drew a crowd all evening, and the espresso bar felt like it belonged at the venue. We've already booked them for our next Chicago event.
Bride & Groom
Chicago Wedding
200-Guest Wedding Reception
They came prepared with questions we hadn't thought to ask. The branded cups, the custom drink, the way the bar was positioned — it all connected back to the campaign. Nothing was incidental.

Chicago Coffee Catering — Frequently Asked Questions
Every event is quoted individually based on guest count, service hours, number of carts, and any custom branding. Most Chicago events run in a predictable range per guest — send your date and details, and we'll reply instantly with a full proposal.
3–4 weeks is ideal for single-day events. Recurring programs and multi-day conferences need 6–8 weeks. Shorter lead times are sometimes possible — reach out and we'll let you know what's open on the calendar.

Yes. We run recurring barista programs for Chicago offices on weekly, biweekly, or custom schedules. Same team every visit, full espresso and matcha menu, month-to-month — no long-term contract, no equipment installation.
A single Fez cart — three baristas, one La Marzocco — serves 150+ drinks per hour. Most competitors run 1–2 baristas and cap out at 50–150/hr. Across our full fleet of 15 carts and 50+ baristas, we can sustain 2,000+ drinks per hour — enough for a McCormick Place-scale conference with no lines and no guests who walked away empty-handed.
A 6×8 foot footprint near where guests gather. The cart is fully self-contained — standard outlet is all we need, no water hookup, no dedicated circuit. Loading dock access helps; most Chicago office buildings and event venues have one.
Yes — full cart vinyl wrap, custom-printed cups and sleeves, printed signage, signature drinks built around the event, and latte art printing of logos or artwork. Send your brand guide during planning and we'll propose a spec.
All of the city proper — the Loop, Fulton Market, West Loop, River North, Streeterville, Wicker Park, Lincoln Park, South Loop, and the near-north neighborhoods. We also cover the broader Chicagoland metro including Evanston, Oak Park, Naperville, Schaumburg, the North Shore, and the extended metro.
Both. Ceremonial-grade matcha — powered by Matcha Minka — is available as a premium add-on to any Fez booking. Standalone matcha bar or alongside the espresso program. Hand-prepared to order. Not culinary-grade.
