Wedding coffee bar + coffee cart catering that feels like a real café

Nine Tenths Coffee is a family-run coffee cart service based in Boone, North Carolina. It’s Reed and Mariah, a cart, a killer espresso setup, and a big heart for people. We donate 10% of profits, because giving back is part of why we started in the first place.

Reed learned coffee behind the counter at Stickboy Bakery from 2019 to 2022, then kept the dream on the back burner until the right moment. Christmas 2024, Mariah’s parents surprised us with a Rocket Appartamento espresso machine and Eureka grinder. A few months later, we sent a simple message to a friend who runs a wedding venue (The Mill at Rock Creek) and that little idea turned into our first wedding booking on September 13th, 2025. We built the cart with help from friends and neighbors, got it painted and plumbed, and we’ve been pouring ever since.

If you’re planning a wedding, corporate gathering, birthday party, or special occasion, we bring coffee for events in a way that’s warm, aesthetic, homemade, and clean. Think open-bar style service, but with lattes.

Coffee service for events, served like an open bar

Most coffee options at events are… a carafe on a table. We’re not that. We show up with a full espresso bar and a friendly team, set everything up, serve your guests quickly, and clean it all up after.

When it comes to coffee cart catering, the difference is simple: your guests get handcrafted drinks made to order, and you don’t have to manage a thing — we’ve got it.

Reviews

  • "Nine Tenths Coffee was a dream to have at our wedding venue! As a venue, the vendors who show up on a wedding day matter immensely. We want vendors who are on time, professional, fun, and—in this case—TASTY! Reed and Mariah bring exactly those qualities to a wedding day. We would love to have them back at any time. Highly recommend booking them if you are a bride or groom on the hunt for a local coffee cart."

  • "Such a cute spot! This coffee stand has the perfect modern farmhouse vibe—clean, cozy, and so inviting. The couple who runs it is absolutely amazing: warm, welcoming, and they truly make you feel like a regular from the moment you pull up. The drinks are delicious, and the whole experience just has a personal touch you don’t get everywhere. Highly recommend stopping by! 🤎☕️✨"
