Frequently Asked Questions

Nood Coffee is the passion project of founders Mohannad and Hanadi, whose childhood nicknames — 'Hanood' and 'Hanooda' — inspired the name. Blend them together, and you get something short, sweet, and entirely theirs: Nood. It's also the color of coffee.

With 2,500+ events served and 10+ years of coffee experience, we're Chicago's fastest coffee cart — and we never cut corners on quality. Premium ingredients, expert baristas, zero compromises. That's the Nood standard for every single order.

We serve any type of event — weddings, corporate events, conferences, brand activations, private parties, office pop-ups, product launches, and everything in between across Chicago and the suburbs. If you're bringing people together, we'll bring the coffee.

With our experience and quality, we're the most competitively priced coffee cart in Chicago. Pricing depends on your guest count and hours of service. Reach out and we'll send you an instant quote.

Everything from A to Z. We bring the full coffee experience directly to you — all we need is a standard electrical outlet. That means a commercial-grade espresso machine, our cart, a professional barista, all supplies and equipment, full setup and teardown, and a handcrafted drink menu. You don't need to lift a finger.

We've served events with 20,000+ attendees — and our smallest was an intimate gathering of just 6 people. Whatever your headcount, we scale our team and equipment to match. We can pour 1,000+ drinks per hour, so no one waits long for their cup.

Just one hour. We're flexible — whether you need us for a quick pop-up or an all-day event, we'll make it work. If you want to extend on the day of your event, we'll adjust the invoice on-site.

All of Chicago and beyond — the Loop, River North, West Loop, Wicker Park, Lincoln Park, the Gold Coast, Evanston, Oak Park, Naperville, Schaumburg, and everywhere in between. We cover the full Chicagoland area and will travel further for the right event.

We've got everyone covered. Alongside our espresso drinks, we offer matcha (lavender, vanilla, strawberry), hot chocolate, and teas. Just let us know what you need when you book.

Our core menu features espresso, americano, cappuccino, and hot/iced lattes. You'll choose 3 flavors from our extensive specialty menu — fan favorites include our pistachio cream latte and tiramisu latte. We also offer oat milk, almond milk, and other alternative milks, plus the option to build a fully custom menu around your event theme.

Absolutely — and we love doing it. Whether you're a bride or a brand, we offer a full range of customizations: custom-printed cups with your name or logo, a cart wrapped in your brand colors or artwork, edible ink latte printing, signature drinks named after your event, custom acrylic drink menus, and personalized cup sleeves. Every detail is an opportunity to make the experience entirely yours.

Yes — and it's one of our favorite things to do. Our edible ink machine prints any image, logo, or design directly onto latte foam. It's a huge hit at brand activations, corporate events, and weddings. No other Chicago coffee cart offers this.

Absolutely. Have a theme, a brand color palette, or a favorite flavor? We'll build a signature drink around it — name and all. We've created custom drinks for companies and weddings that ended up permanently on our menu.

Yes, with one requirement: power. Most outdoor venues have a power source we can tap into. If not, let us know early and we'll bring a generator — Chicago weather won't stop us.

Yes. We've served events with 20,000+ attendees, major conferences, corporate headquarters, and large-scale brand activations across Chicago. We scale our team and equipment accordingly — and we've never cancelled on a client. Not once.

We require a deposit to secure your date. If something comes up on your end, we work with you directly on rescheduling. We've never cancelled on a client — our zero-cancellation track record means you can book with total confidence.
