This is why we post the brand of coffee roaster’s that we work with so you know that we only offer the best. We also has been operating as a catering company for 8 years now and the owner of our company has been in the Specialty Coffee Industry for over 18 years. During those 18 years, he has been a Barista, Shift Lead, Quality Control, and manager at Portola Coffee in Costa Mesa, California, he has also helped open other Specialty Coffee shops in Orange County California. After his coffee shop days, he worked as a coffee educator for a Specialty Coffee Corporate Company where he traveled the nation teaching Michelin Star Chef’s, Restaurants, and resorts how to make excellent coffee, so you can say that he knows a thing or two about coffee science and on how to make coffee taste delicious. Not only did he do all of that for his career, but he also placed 17th in the nation in the 2018 National Brewer’s Cup championship for the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA).

ICE CREAM CATERING

Rugged Coffee is a specialty coffee catering company, but we don’t just stop at specialty coffee. We also provide specialty ice cream catering and ice cream coffee mixes. The ice cream that we provide is made from scratch with no artificial ingredients and they are even made with our Signature Flavored syrups. Our ice creams on our ice cream cart come in several different flavor options, such as, Vanilla, Chocolate, Cookies and Cream, Lavender Honey, Chocolate Cookies and Cream, Matcha, and Caramel.

Our ice cream can be combined with any coffee drink to create a float. You can try a Mocha Float, Matcha Float, Chai Latte Float, Vanilla Latte Float, Caramel Latte Float, or the fan favorite the Affogato. Not only can you combine coffee drinks with ice cream, but you can also just add your favorite flavored syrup onto the ice cream to give it that extra delicious flavor. Flavors like Samoa, Big Red, Vanilla, Caramel, Chocolate, Gingerbread, Lavender Honey, Maple Spice, Cinnamint, and the list goes on.

Consolidating your caterers is not only cost effective, but it also makes your planning easier. We offer you customizable options and quality with the ease of planning because you will only need to allocate 1 area for our serving space, instead of 2 different spaces, and you will only need to worry about 1 vendors electricity requirements, instead of 2. Because this is an upgrade, we offer this quality service for a lower price than most other ice cream caterers and, at the same time, this upgrade gives your guests access to a much larger menu than any other ice cream caterer. Ice cream and coffee, sounds like a match made in heaven to us. Inquire today to find out how we can best serve your event or check out our “Packages” page on our website to see more info.

SOCAL SPECIALTY COFFEE

Specialty Coffee in Southern California is an industry that is booming and so no wonder why people want that Specialty Coffee at their event or wedding, but the Specialty Coffee industry was not always booming out here, though. There was the intro to it back in 2011 with Portola Coffee who were all about the quality of the coffee and not so much care for the customer service or experience, then after a few more specialty coffee shops opened, the turn to customer service was starting to be top priority again. Now most specialty coffee shops only care about that and not so much about creating a great coffee beverage or coffee experience anymore. We believe that you don’t have to have a tradeoff of the two, that those two aspects of coffee can work harmoniously together and we showcase that at each event that we serve at. We cater small events to catering very large events, there is no event size too big or small for us.

Being a Southern California catering company has its benefits, such as, the weather is usually pretty great so indoor or outdoor events are pretty much always available to happen, but because of that, the competition is fierce. That is why we make sure that we are on the top of our game and that we are providing the best quality and service in the industry. We provide Specialty Espresso and Coffee Catering all over the Southern California area, from Los Angeles to Orange County to the Inland Empire (or Riverside County) to San Diego County and we even travel to Las Vegas for our catering. Basically anywhere you need coffee in Southern California, we can bring that coffee catering to your event or conference or convention and even weddings. Reach out today and see how we can elevate your event by providing the best coffee and the best service around.

WEDDING CATERER

Having the right people at your wedding can make or break a wedding, but having the right specialty caterers can equally cause the wedding to be stress free or chaotic. That’s why we take our role in every event or wedding that we serve at very seriously because we want to help make your wedding special in a way that you don’t have to worry about anything, because you shouldn’t have to. Southern California Caterers that know what they are doing in a way where they plan for every situation that may occur and therefore ask the wedding coordinator all the right questions beforehand so they can properly prepare.

We have been to many weddings where the SoCal caterers were scrambling, not prepared for any variation in the plans, but that is not us. We make sure that we are ready for every outcome. Checking the weather beforehand, especially if the wedding is outdoors to prepare for rain or other severe weather. Making sure to bring long extension cords in case the electricity supply is far away, and bringing more than enough supplies to ensure that we do our best to not run out of our coffee catering supplies while serving your guests. We do our best to make your experience with us the easiest experience with a coffee caterer ever.

Things to know about us, we will arrive to the Southern California or Las Vegas wedding at least 1 hour and 30 minutes prior to our serving so that we give ourselves enough time to get in the space and setup properly for our coffee bar and espresso catering. We will also take around 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes to close our bar and exit the venue. We take our service very serious and we guarantee that you wont find better quality in a Specialty Southern California Caterer elsewhere.
