Bringing an Elevated Coffee and Hospitality Experience to Every Event with Blake Ottomeyer of Bean Sprout Coffee Co.
Description
When you think of coffee at an event, you might picture a standard catering setup—functional, but forgettable. Bean Sprout Coffee Co. is changing that.
Founded by Blake Ottomeyer, Bean Sprout Coffee isn’t just about serving espresso; it’s about crafting a hospitality-driven experience that leaves a lasting impression. What started as a pivot from a brick-and-mortar café idea has now become a growing mobile coffee business that partners with local roasters and prioritizes guest engagement over transactions.
In this episode, we dive into:
✅ How Blake turned a café dream into a mobile business with multiple carts
✅ Why customer experience—not just coffee quality—defines success in event services
✅ How Bean Sprout Coffee thrives on referrals and word-of-mouth marketing
✅ The biggest logistical challenges of mobile coffee service (and how they solve them)
✅ What it takes to build a team that shares a passion for service and hospitality
