Catering & Events

coffee that gives back.

We are proud to do business differently. We work with a local small batch coffee roaster, ensure our coffee is ethically sourced on women-owned fair trade farms, create all house-made syrups, and give back to our community at every step of the way.

10% gives back! All hot beverages give back to Orale Long Beach, and all iced beverages give back to Black Emotional and Mental Health Collective.

Bring specialty coffee to your next gathering with Are & Be Coffee's mobile catering service.

We serve organic, single-origin coffee from women-owned farms with fair trade practices. Every beverage supports mental health nonprofits, making your event meaningful and delicious.

We believe in doing business with purpose. Our partnerships with local roasters, ethical sourcing practices, and handcrafted syrups reflect our commitment to quality and community impact at every step.
