Turlock & Stanislaus 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 Turlock is inside our no travel fee area.

What We Serve
A university, an agricultural base, and the largest family gatherings we serve.
Multigenerational and genuinely large. Tell us the real number, not the polite one.
Faculty receptions and graduation gatherings, usually on a fixed load in window.
Dairy, processing, and grower events. Shift work and a coffee cart get along well.
Two hundred guests is a normal Saturday here. We staff for it, not around it.
A strong church calendar, and coffee that turns up on time for it.
The cart holds a room together while the photos are happening elsewhere.
Before You Book
Turlock events run big, which changes what matters.
Common Questions
No. Turlock sits inside our no travel fee area, so no travel charge is added to your event.
Yes, and Turlock is where we are asked most often. Past a certain headcount a second barista is added automatically so the line keeps moving, and that is quoted up front rather than added later. Tell us the real number and we will size the service honestly.
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 Modesto, Ceres, Denair, Hilmar, Manteca, and Ripon, and beyond.
