The Carry On promise

Founded by Army veteran Josh Freeman, Carry On Coffee Company is built on service, craftsmanship, and respect for the people beside us.

We’re creating a place where veterans can learn a craft, find meaningful paid work, and grow with the business. Good coffee gives us a way to keep contributing—and a reason to bring people together.

That’s the purpose behind Carry On. Everyone is welcome at our coffee bar.

A few good questions

Before
we brew.

How much does coffee catering cost?

Your quote depends on guest count, service duration, menu, travel, and venue requirements. Launch packages are being finalized. You’ll receive the full scope and price before you book.

What does the venue need to provide?

We review setup space, access, utilities, indoor or outdoor conditions, and timing with you before confirming service. Requirements depend on the final cart setup and your event.

Can you accommodate non-coffee drinkers?

Our planned menu includes chai, matcha, and tea alongside espresso and brewed coffee. Share your group’s preferences and dietary needs so we can discuss available options.

Does an inquiry reserve my date?

No. An inquiry starts the conversation. Your event is booked only after availability is confirmed and the written agreement and payment requirements are met.

Are you accepting events yet?

We’re preparing to launch and welcome inquiries for future events. We’ll confirm readiness and availability directly before accepting a booking.

Good things start with a conversation
