Catering Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to some of the most asked questions about 58 Hester Coffee's catering services.
What cities do you serve?
We serve the majority of Riverside County, including all of Coachella Valley. Find us catering events in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, La Quinta, Indian Wells, Temecula, Riverside, Beaumont, Moreno Valley, Irvine and more. We are willing to travel if your location is farther!
What do you need to setup?
All we need is level ground, a 5x5-foot area, a power outlet on a dedicated circuit, a space accessible by wheels so we can get our cart in place, and a day-of point of contact to show us where to set up. We can bring our own power at an additional cost.
Can you setup outside?
Absolutely. Depending on your event needs, we can even bring a generator so we can power the cart without an outlet.
What drinks do you offer?
Our cart is a cafe on wheels, so we'll serve up cafe classics like espresso, cappuccinos, lattes, loose leaf teas, and matcha, along with our house-made syrups like Vanilla Date, Caramel Cardamom and Mocha.
What types of events do you cater?
We cater weddings, corporate events, private gatherings, and festivals throughout Riverside County including all of the Coachella Valley.
Can we customize the menu?
Absolutely! We offer a variety of coffee and tea drinks and can adapt the menu to fit your event’s theme. If you know our menu and have something specific to request, send it in your booking note so we can prepare to bring necessary ingredients.
How do you price your packages?
Your event price is based on:
Service Length
Guest Count
Travel Distance
Flexible Budgeting:
Our adaptable pricing fits various budgets for different event sizes.
All of our packages are fully inclusive of the cost of our baristas, equipment, travel fees, and supplies, including coffee, cups and lids, regular and alternative milks (oat milk), and our housemade syrups.
If there are additional requests, such as custom branding, we're happy to accommodate and will include that in a custom quote.
