The coffee cart popped up at Sunstone Winery for their Solstice Party. Other vendors were there as well: Neighborhood Tim's BBQ, Kona Ice, and Vallefresh Tacos. It was a hot day with live music, snow cones, good barbeque, and delicious iced coffees!
Funk Zone Solstice Party
Santa Barbara gets very crazy and eventful during Solstice weekend. Thousands of people come from all over to attend the Solstice Parade. We popped up in the Funk Zone to catch that flow of traffic. It was a front yard hang out at an artist's studio called Green House Studios. It also happens to house a coffee roaster in the back, Dart Coffee CO. I was pulling shots of Dart's Peru the whole weekend. Carter from Carter Paul Wines was there pouring wine for guests. We had an awesome time drinking coffee and wine, playing cards, throwing bags, and socializing with all of the folks who came to hang out.
Softball and Iced Vanilla Lattes
Elings had a softball tournament for a bunch of tired parents over the weekend. We showed up just in time to help them out until 10 at night. I remember when I was growing up, the sporting events were always an all day thing; waiting in between games to play, concession stand hot dogs, long hot days. I think the parents appreciated something that they could enjoy. And as soon as the sun went down, there were endless hot chocolates.

Father's Day at The Montecito Country Mart
Pop-up Coffee Shop at the Montecito Country Mart. There were pony rides, a photo booth, live music, face painting, and delicious coffee for all of the parents.
Poolside Wedding Brunch
We popped up poolside in the Santa Barbara Riviera for a pool brunch party for a wedding! The groom, Feelix, works at a popular coffee shop in town called Handlebar. He really wanted the best coffee for his guests. There were many iced vanilla lattes made. Congratulations Feelix and Shelby! You two are the sweetest. We were so honored to be a part of your big day.
Brunch, Beer, and Coffee in the Funk Zone
Brass Bear Brewing, located in the Funk Zone, just started doing Sunday Brunch! We popped up and started making espresso drinks for their customers. Getting the day started with delicious brunch and coffee on a Sunday. What more could you ask for?
June Gloom Festival
We collaborated with Dart Coffee Roasters for the June Gloom Festival at Porch in Carpinteria. There was live music and creative workshops and delicious coffee! I was experimenting all day long on the machine with Dart's coffee; Peru, Mexico, Guatemala, and Ethiopia. The families appreciated having us there, and the kids LOVED the hot chocolates.
Waffles and Coffee for Employees
Continental had a great Friday for their employees, hiring the coffee cart and making waffles and crepes. It was the most delicious gig I've attended so far. Many of the employees are from Europe, having a deep appreciation for espresso. It turned into a social hangout, with everyone enjoying their cappuccinos and crepes.
Coffee After Wine Tasting
Sanguis Winery is a private winery in Santa Barbara. They threw a party for their clients to showcase the new wines they just put out. Pop-Up was the theme. The chefs from Julienne were cooking up flatbreads in the back with a wood-fire pizza. Welcome Coffee Cart was a pick-me-up for the guests heading out after a long day of wine tasting.
