who are we?

Ethos Coffee is born out of one belief; Community is what keeps us alive.

For owner, Brandon Given, coffee has been an integral centerpiece of building community
with friends, family, and strangers.

The mission of Ethos Coffee is to  cultivate a sense of community by bringing high quality coffee to every event. The average guest at a corporate event, conference, or wedding expects the coffee to be an afterthought... stale drip coffee that's probably burned and been sitting for hours.  We help you make coffee a staple focus piece and conversation point well after they leave.

When you book Ethos, you can expect top quality specialty coffee that can stand toe to toe with
the best coffee shops in the area. With our green mentality, you can sleep soundly knowing that you partnered with a brand that prioritizes ethical and sustainable business practices; from our choice of beans to homemade syrups; reducing emmissions and increasing the flavor in your cup.

Who we’re made for

Four kinds of events, each with its own rhythm. We staff and pace the bar differently for every one of them.

Corporate events

Employee appreciation, holiday parties, conferences, client meetings and office openings across Philadelphia.

Brand activations

Grand openings, retail pop-ups, trade shows and product launches — with your logo on the cart and printed in the foam.

Weddings

Cocktail hour, the late-night reset when the dance floor thins, or the morning-after brunch nobody plans for.

What makes Ethos different

Most guests walk into an event expecting the coffee to be an afterthought. Three things make sure it isn’t.

Purpose-Built for Mobile

Ethos is a mobile operation from the ground up. We are not a café that wheels a cart out on weekends — events are the entire business, and it shows in how fast we set up and how cleanly we work around your timeline.

Coffee worth asking about

Single-origin Guatamalan beans, ethically sourced, ground to order. Sourcing is the reason the business is called Ethos — and at nearly every event, somebody asks where the coffee came from.

Your brand, in the cup

Custom cart signage, branded cup designs, and your logo or monogram printed directly into the latte foam by our Ripple printer. It becomes the most photographed corner of the room.
