The Occasions
When a Hot Cocoa Bar Is the Right Call
Coffee is the default at most events. Hot chocolate is the one that gets a reaction — from kids, from executives, from shoppers who weren’t planning to stop. These are the Miami events that book it most.
Holiday parties
Office holiday celebrations, client appreciation nights, and end-of-year gatherings where a warm cup does the work a cocktail bar usually does.
Retail & boutique activations
Department stores and luxury boutiques use a hot chocolate cart to slow shoppers down, hold them at the display, and send them home with a branded cup.
Employee appreciation
All-hands days, milestone celebrations, and thank-you events — including the large-format ones, with double-cart setups for 500+ staff.
Family & community days
School events, neighborhood festivals, and brand family days where an all-ages drink matters. Fully caffeine-free, so nobody is left out.
Winter brand moments
Seasonal campaigns, pop-ups, and launch events that want a cozy, photographable centerpiece in a city that doesn’t get one naturally.
Conferences & evening sessions
An afternoon or after-hours alternative to the espresso bar, or a second station alongside it, for programs in the holiday window.
Case Studies
Hot Chocolate Catering We’ve Run in Miami
We’ve poured hot chocolate everywhere from office lobbies to festival grounds. Here are three that show the range — a department store floor, a luxury watch boutique, and an airport hangar.
In-Store Activation
Macy’s
Macy’s brought our hot chocolate cart onto the sales floor for an in-store activation. The goal was simple: give shoppers a reason to stop, and give the store team a natural way to start a conversation. Our baristas kept the line moving with drinks made to order while customers browsed with a cup in hand.
Thank you for the amazing service during our in-store activation. Your team’s patience and professionalism made the experience seamless and memorable for both our team and our customers.Julinkscia Walkins, Event Coordinator · Macy’s
Boutique Activation · Aventura Mall
Longines
A luxury boutique can’t hand a guest a paper cup from a thermos. For Longines at Aventura Mall, the hot chocolate bar had to match the store: a clean, compact setup that fit inside the boutique footprint, drinks finished and presented one at a time, and baristas who treated every shopper like a client, not a transaction.
The cart gave the sales team something valuable — a few unhurried minutes with each guest while the drink was made.

Employee Appreciation · Airport Hangar
AAR Corp
AAR hosted a holiday appreciation event for 500 employees inside an airport hangar. We ran a double-cart setup so two lines moved at once, and printed the AAR logo onto every drink — a detail that turned a hot cocoa break into the photo of the day.

Make It Yours
Put Your Brand on the Hot Chocolate Cart
Hot chocolate takes a printed logo beautifully — the surface is smooth, the colors pop, and guests photograph it before they drink it. Choose one element or all four; every piece is confirmed before event day.
Logo printing on the drink
Your logo, artwork, or holiday message printed in edible ink directly on every cup of hot chocolate.
Branded cups & sleeves
Hot cups and sleeves printed with your mark, so the branding walks out of the event with your guests.
Cart wrap
A full wrap in your colors or campaign art, visible from across the sales floor or hangar.
Custom hot chocolate
A signature flavor or color built around your brand or theme. See what’s possible on our custom drinks page.

Two Ways to Book
Hot Cocoa Bar Alone, or Alongside the Espresso Bar
Book hot chocolate on its own, or add it to our full coffee program — same cart, same baristas, no second setup.
- Standalone hot chocolate service starting at $895 — ideal for family days, school events, and all-ages celebrations.
- Hot chocolate + espresso bar for mixed crowds: cocoa for the kids and the non-coffee drinkers, lattes and cappuccinos for everyone else.
- Same hospitality standard either way — SCA Certified baristas, made-to-order drinks, and a line that keeps moving.
- One quote, one contact. Add or remove the coffee side before you book; the price updates instantly.

FAQ
Hot Chocolate Cart Questions, Answered
How much does hot chocolate catering cost in Miami?
Hot chocolate service starts at $895. The final price depends on guest count, hours of service, and add-ons like logo printing, branded cups, or adding the espresso bar. Enter your event details to see your exact quote in seconds.
Is the hot chocolate made to order?
Yes. Every drink is prepared by a barista when it’s ordered, not poured from a pre-made urn, so it’s hot, consistent, and finished the way each guest wants it.
Can you print our logo on hot chocolate?
Yes — hot chocolate is one of the best surfaces for it. Your logo, artwork, or a holiday message is printed in edible ink directly on each drink.
Is this a good fit for kids and non-coffee drinkers?
It’s the best fit we offer. Hot chocolate is caffeine-free and all-ages, which is why schools, family days, and community events book it. For mixed crowds, pair it with the espresso bar on the same cart.
How many guests can a hot chocolate cart serve?
We staff to your headcount rather than sending a fixed team. For large events we run multiple carts — AAR’s 500-employee event ran on a double-cart setup.
