Answer a Few Questions About Your Event

Hiring a barista from The Coffee Haus includes the full espresso bar and our unlimited drink package.

  • Takes about a minute
  • No obligation — you approve the quote before anything is booked

When you hire a barista from The Coffee Haus for your Cincinnati event, you get the whole coffee bar, not just a person. Our baristas arrive with the mobile espresso cart, a commercial machine and grinder, cold brew, teas, milks and syrups — and they make unlimited handcrafted drinks for your guests for as long as you've booked.

It's the difference between 'someone to run the coffee' and a genuine café experience. Our baristas are skilled, friendly and dedicated to exceptional service — they learn names, remember orders and keep the line moving at a corporate break or a wedding cocktail hour.

The cart the barista arrives with is described on the mobile coffee cart page, and the full service under coffee cart catering in Cincinnati.

Great coffee and amazing customer service! Everyone was super nice and the drinks were top quality. Highly recommend!

What's Included

What you get when you hire a barista from The Coffee Haus

This is a full-service event barista hire — the professional, the equipment and the drinks in one booking, quoted for your hours.

Professional, friendly baristas

We’re a team of skilled baristas dedicated to providing exceptional service and great coffee. We staff to your guest count so a large corporate expo and a 40-person shower both get the right number of hands.

The espresso bar comes with the barista

No separate equipment rental. The mobile cart, commercial espresso machine, grinder, cold brew, tea service, cups, lids, milks and syrups all arrive with the barista.

Unlimited drinks for your guests

Barista hire is booked by the hour, and for those hours guests can order as many lattes, cappuccinos, cold brews and matchas as they desire. There's no per-drink charge.

Setup, service and teardown

Our baristas arrive early, set up in about a 6’x5’ space with one standard outlet, serve, and leave the space as they found it. Indoor and outdoor events are both fine.

Hire for a few hours or several days

If we're available, you can book as many days as needed. Multi-day conferences and expos are a regular booking for our baristas.

Custom menus and branded cups

Give the barista a signature drink to make, print a tailor-made menu, or add your logo to the cups and the cart. Custom options are quoted alongside the base booking.

  • The Coffee Haus Cincy was amazing to work with! They were a part of an event I had recently that started very early in the morning and I could not have asked for a better experience. Guests enjoyed having access to their coffee needs and everyone discussed the coffee, etc was really good. I look forward to hopefully working with them again in the future.

FAQs

Barista hire questions

How much is it to hire a barista?

Every event is quoted individually. The cost of hiring a barista from The Coffee Haus depends on the hours, your guest count, travel to the venue and any custom add-ons — and it includes the espresso bar, all the equipment and our unlimited drink package, not just the barista's time. Fill out the form and we'll send your quote.

Is this a barista staffing agency or a job listing?

Neither. The Coffee Haus is an event coffee service: you hire our baristas together with our mobile espresso bar for a corporate event, wedding or party. We don't place baristas at cafés and we aren't a job board.

Do I need to provide an espresso machine or supplies?

No. The barista arrives with the full mobile espresso bar — machine, grinder, cold brew, teas, milks, syrups, cups and lids. All you provide is a 6’x5’ space and one standard outlet.

How many baristas do I need for my event?

We staff to your guest count and the length of service. Tell us the headcount and hours in the quote form and we'll plan the right number of baristas so the line keeps moving.

Are you able to operate indoors and outdoors?

We’re fully equipped to serve both indoor and outdoor events. We’ll work with you to plan the ideal setup for your space and event style.

Do you provide alternative milks and decaf?

Every event includes whole milk and Oatly oat milk, and we can provide decaf drip or espresso upon request. Extra shots are available for the highly caffeinated folks.

How far do you travel?

We’re based in Cincinnati and happily serve surrounding areas — Northern Kentucky included. We love bringing The Coffee Haus experience to new places, so if you're unsure whether the cart reaches your venue, just ask in the form.

How many days can I book the cart?

If we're available, you can book as many days as needed — multi-day expos and conferences are a regular booking for us.
