Funky Rooster Coffee Bar

Carrier Coffee is a mobile espresso cart based in Louisville, Kentucky, which calls itself a specialty coffee cart in the bluegrass. Every booking includes an unlimited drink package from their espresso bar, with espressos, cappuccinos, cortados, lattes and more. Guests who don't drink coffee have other options, and the cart also offers milk alternatives and classic syrups made in-house. Hosts can add seasonal or personalized drinks, and baristas staff the cart. The team works corporate events such as conferences, seminars and multi-day expos. They also do retail activations like grand openings and staff or customer appreciation days, plus private events including wedding receptions, cocktail hours, engagement parties, galas and fundraisers. They serve the Louisville–Lexington area and say they are willing to take the cart further afield.
