Tracy & San Joaquin County
Eight23 Craft & Brew is a specialty mobile espresso bar. We bring the cart, the commercial equipment, and a trained barista who turns up early and leaves the place as they found it. Hot and iced, non-dairy milks included as standard, on every booking. Based in Manteca, and Tracy is inside our no travel fee area.

What We Serve
A lot of entertaining at home, and a growing corporate base on the 205.
Vineyard venues west of town or a reception closer in. The after dinner slot is the one to book.
Newer neighborhoods, wide side gates, flat driveways. Some of the easiest setups we do.
Shift change on the 205 corridor. Coffee at an hour most caterers will not touch.
If your event needs a barista before sunrise, that is a normal ask here, not a strange one.
Indoors or in the backyard. Either way the cart is where people gather.
Fundraisers and Sunday mornings across Tracy and Mountain House.
Before You Book
Most Tracy events are at home. These are worth walking your own yard for.
Common Questions
No. Tracy sits inside our no travel fee area, so no travel charge is added to your event.
Yes, and we do it often in Tracy. We need a flat, step free route in, a gate or path wide enough for the cart, and a standard outlet within reach. A driveway or patio works well. Grass is harder on the castors, so a hard surface is always the better choice.
Yes. Every booking includes a trained barista working the cart, so hiring a mobile barista and booking the coffee cart are the same thing with us. We do not hire out a barista without the equipment, because the espresso quality depends on both.
Weekend dates in spring and fall book the furthest out, and December fills quickly with holiday parties. If you have a date in mind, checking early costs you nothing and holds your place in the conversation.
Yes, and we do it often. Shade makes a real difference for the equipment and for your guests, so we will talk through placement with you. A cold brew or iced service is usually the stronger choice for a hot afternoon.
The cart cannot go up or down stairs, so we need a step free route from where we park to where we set up. This is worth raising as early as possible. In most cases there is an alternative entrance, and in some cases an additional fee may apply for a more involved workaround.
That depends on your guest count and how long you want the bar open, which is exactly what we work out together when you inquire. Tell us the headcount and the window you have in mind and we will size the service to match.
Yes. We are based in Manteca and serve the wider Central Valley, including Manteca, Lathrop, Stockton, Ripon, Mountain House, and Modesto, and beyond.
