Frequently Asked Questions
What is Franklin Coffee Cart?
Franklin Coffee Cart is the mobile espresso bar of North Arrow Coffee Company, the veteran-owned specialty coffee company in Downtown Franklin, TN. A trained barista brings a commercial espresso machine to your venue and serves handcrafted drinks for your guests.
What drinks do you serve?
The cart is a full espresso bar: double espresso, cortado, cappuccino, hot latte, and iced latte, with vanilla, mocha, and a rotating seasonal flavor, plus whole and alternative milks (oat and more). Need drip or iced drip coffee for a crowd? We offer that as a separate drop-off coffee service alongside the cart.
How many guests can the coffee cart serve?
From intimate gatherings up to 200+ guests. We scale baristas, machines, and service hours to your headcount, and add a second cart for large crowds.
Is there a travel fee?
There is no separate travel fee inside our standard service zone — about a 30-minute drive from downtown Franklin, which covers Nashville, Brentwood, Cool Springs, Nolensville, Spring Hill, Thompson’s Station, and all of Williamson County. Service to your venue is built into your quote. Outside the zone, tell us about your event and we’ll confirm.
What does coffee cart catering cost?
Every event is custom-quoted to your headcount, service hours, and venue. Tell us about your event and we’ll send pricing and a recommended package, usually the same day.
How far in advance should I book?
The earlier the better — popular dates fill up. A 25% deposit holds your date on our calendar, and the balance is due 10 days before your event.
What do you need from the venue?
A ground-floor setup spot (or elevator access) and about an hour before service starts — our barista arrives early, sets up the full bar, and breaks it down afterward so you never lift a finger.
