Do you offer custom branding on cups or the cart?

Yes. We offer branded cups with your company name, event hashtag, or wedding monogram. Custom cart wrapping is also available for brand activations and corporate events. Branded coffee experiences are one of our most popular add-ons for corporate clients and brands looking to create a shareable moment at their event.

What drinks do you serve?

Sage's Playground serves a full specialty espresso menu including lattes, cappuccinos, americanos, cortados, and espresso shots, all made with Otus Coffee beans roasted in Winter Garden, FL. We also offer matcha lattes, chai lattes, and seasonal specialty drinks made with house syrups. Hot and iced options available for every drink.

Do you offer anything besides coffee?

Yes. We offer matcha lattes, chai lattes, hot chocolate, and a variety of teas for guests who don't drink coffee. Every Sage's Playground event has options for everyone at your event, not just the coffee drinkers.

How long does setup take?

Sage's Playground typically needs 30 to 45 minutes to set up before your event starts. We always arrive early so everything is ready to go the moment your guests walk in. Just let us know your event start time when you book and we'll coordinate arrival accordingly.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Sage's Playground is fully licensed and insured for events across Tampa Bay. We can provide proof of insurance upon request, which many corporate venues and event coordinators require. Just ask when you reach out and we'll send it over.

Can you do recurring office coffee service?

Yes. Recurring office service is one of our most popular offerings for Tampa Bay companies. Whether it's a weekly team morning, a monthly employee appreciation setup, or a regular client-facing experience, we'll work with you to build a schedule that fits. Reach out and let us know what you have in mind.

What makes Sage's Playground different from other coffee carts in Tampa Bay?

A few things. First, the coffee actually tastes exceptional. Dyllan and Roy spent three years researching roasters before serving a single event, and they landed on Otus Coffee out of Winter Garden, FL for a reason. Second, this is an owner-operated business. Dyllan or her dad Roy shows up to every event personally. Third, Sage's Playground is the official coffee catering partner of the Tampa Bay Rays. That level of trust isn't given to just anyone.

Do you do weddings?

Yes, weddings are one of our favorite events to serve. We can set up during cocktail hour, the reception, or both. Our bar fits seamlessly into any venue aesthetic and our baristas know how to work a room full of guests without disrupting the flow of your day. We also offer custom cup branding with your names or wedding monogram. Reach out early as wedding dates in Tampa Bay book up fast.

Do you work with corporate clients?

Yes, corporate events and brand activations are our primary market. We've served companies including the Tampa Bay Rays, Tecovas, and Outdoor Group Fitness across Tampa Bay. We understand what corporate clients need: professional setup, efficient service, zero disruption to your event flow, and coffee that actually impresses your guests. We also offer branded cups and cart customization for companies looking to create a shareable brand moment.
