our story
“Nothing but passion and drive”
My wife, Bri, and I started Encounter Coffee in October 2025 with nothing but passion and drive. We had an idea about what a coffee cart could be if you refused to cut the corners everyone else cuts, and we went and found out.
Our beans are imported from various farms around the world and roasted fresh before each event. We make our syrups from scratch. We serve ceremonial matcha. And our desire is that with each cup served, you may encounter great coffee, encounter one another, and encounter the love and service of Jesus.
That is where the name comes from, and it is the reason we do this the way we do. The coffee has to be excellent — that part is non-negotiable. But the part we actually love is standing behind the cart at 10pm at a wedding reception, talking to a guest who came back for their third latte, and getting to be a small good part of somebody's best day.

how we make it
Four things we refuse to cut corners on
Beans imported and roasted fresh
Our beans come from farms around the world and are roasted fresh before each event — not sitting in a warehouse waiting for a booking. It is the single biggest reason people tell us the coffee tasted like it came from a high-end coffee shop.
Syrups made from scratch
Vanilla, honey, hazelnut, lavender and caramel, all made in-house. No pump bottles of neon syrup on our cart.
Ceremonial-grade matcha
Real ceremonial matcha, whisked properly. It costs more than the sweetened powder most carts use, and everyone who drinks matcha can tell within one sip.
We are the baristas
When you book Encounter Coffee, you get us. Aziel and Bri are the ones behind the cart on your event day, which is why our reviews keep mentioning conversations rather than just drinks.
