The Dapper Bean

Quarter Note Coffee started as a specialty espresso cart serving the Raleigh-Durham area, and it still takes bookings for catering and events. Since January 2024 the business has also run a coffee shop near Crabtree Mall in Raleigh. Their coffee comes from Porch Culture Coffee Roasters of Tyler, Texas, and the two have worked together since Quarter Note began. The team makes its syrups and chai by hand, and the shop also sells baked goods from Blue Ox Bakery. Event planners can book the cart through the Quarter Note website.

Reform Cafe

Brew LaLa is a mobile coffee bar based in Waxhaw, North Carolina, serving the greater Charlotte area. They also roast their own coffee, and in June 2023 they took over Sospeso Coffee Roasters. Their espresso menu covers drip coffee, Americanos, cappuccinos, café lattes, vanilla and caramel lattes, mochas, white chocolate mochas, caramel macchiatos and chai tea lattes. They also make steamers and hot cocoa. The centrepiece of their setup is a converted horse trailer. Clients can book it as a staffed coffee bar or rent it bare for their own event. Brew LaLa also has a rolling bar cart built for coffee and a second rolling bar made for drinks served from a keg, which gives planners a few ways to fit them into an event.
