I recently hosted a networking event that featured the Black Fodder coffee cart. It was a HUGE hit with all of the attendees. The setup looked beautiful and very professional. The team arrived bright and early to set up and had everything ready to go before the event started. The drink selection was varied and there was something for everyone (even non-coffee drinkers). There was never much of a wait for drinks as a few baristas were working at once. Overall, I would highly recommend Black Fodder and will likely use them for another event in the future. Thanks to Maciej for being easy to coordinate with and friendly.

Booked Black Fodder to provide coffee for a TV production. Even with only a couple days' notice, owner Maciej was responsive, accommodating, and beat the competition's pricing handily. This was a totally painless booking process. Better yet, the coffee was top-tier! Our cast and crew were absolutely thrilled. Can't recommend Black Fodder enough for whatever event you're planning.

Maciej x Black Fodder are the BEST Baristas in Chicago! We always look forward to having them on-site, hosting Coffee Happy Hours at our property! Their great customer service, and DELICIOUS coffee selections are what our tenants love the most! Everyone here is always asking when they are coming back. Keep up the amazing work! You all are amazing :)

Wonderful espresso, and were able to work with us on the fly to make a huge wedding crowd of over 400 happy! Highly recommend.

Incredible coffee and even better service. the team is extremely knowledgable, they take their coffee seriously.

Amazing for corporate events. Kind, accommodating, professional staff. Coffee is always delicious, and their variety of offerings will please the whole office. We'll definitely be inviting them back soon.

The team came into our office place and were super friendly and coffee was outstanding!

Would highly recommend! Great people, responsive, phenomenal customer service, and all in all a great product. Thank you to Black Fodder Coffee!

This coffee service is AMAZING. My company has been using them for over 4 years and it has NEVER disappointed. The baristas are friendly, professional, timely, and very knowledgeable about coffee. This is a great corporate experience but could see the use at a wedding, or any gathering. I will continue to have them come to the office for special events.

We recently held a new brand launch event for our employees and really enjoyed the coffee and drink bar that Black Fodder brought to our Chicagoland office. The feedback from all who enjoyed it was positive and everyone appreciated coming by for a coffee/drink break throughout the day.

Black Fodder customized everything for us to reinforce our new brand, worked with us to serve an additional branded drink that corresponds with our new brand identity, and were super easy to communicate back and forth with and work with.

I would highly recommend using Black Fodder for your corporate events or otherwise!

We've had Maciej and his team back to our office numerous times because of the incredible service/experience we have with them. Amazing coffee selection and service!! Our team absolutely loves them. Maciej was extremely easy to work with and made sure the experience was great. Will definitely continue booking with Black Fodder for any future events we have. 10/10 all around!

We hired Blackfodder Coffee to cater our brunch wedding. AND IT WAS AMAZING!!! Our guests loved the coffees and cold brew teas they prepared and we received such happy responses that it was so delicious and they kept coming back. Maciej was such a great help in arranging the service for the venue that we never had to worry. We highly recommend Blackfodder for anytime you a coffee catering you can trust to be fantastic!!!

Black Fodder Coffee is amazing! Their coffee is wonderful and they are a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend them!

Awesome coffee!

Black Fodder brought craft coffee to our wedding last weekend and it was the rave review of the night. Their coffee/espresso was fantastic, and they quickly powered through the long line of our friends and family who immediately rushed over to them once they opened for the evening.

I cannot speak highly enough of Maciej and Black Fodder Coffee. He provided a coffee cart at our daughter's wedding on Oct 21st. It was chilly and he had to set up outside the heated tent. He did not complain once and served our delighted costumers with a smile and a delicious cup of coffee, latte, cappuccino and espresso. Our guests raved about the coffee all night long!

The best latte I have ever had in my life. I'm 59. I would love to drink this coffee daily! It was Amazing!!! It was at a stand at the artisan market. No branding on the cup or at the stand. The only branding was the symbol of a man with a beard. No sign or name or anything letting me know how to have this experience again. I continued my search. I found the name from one of my photos and just searched it. The website is mostly about philosophy and broad ideology about craft coffee. I just want to give you money and have another amazing latte. You are making it very hard..... But I think I found your location and will make the trek from gold coast one day to have your wonderful product despite your efforts to keep your brand secret.

Thanks for your response. It's a good problem to have , right! Let me know where you will open your shop and I will be a regular. Absolutely love your coffee!! I love the logo as well. If you sold T shirts I would be several.

I almost think you may have something by not displaying the name overtly. Like a speakeasy coffee brand. I will find you wherever you Open!!

Great staff, great service, great coffee.

The Cafe is deeply hidden somewhere. Me and my partner tried finding this 5 star rated cafe after a HECTIC day but FAILED.

It is almost similar to the harry potter’s Chamber of secrets which is Hidden behind a Wall in London. Only difference here is that, this Cafe is UNREAL while harry’s chamber was REAL!!

We recently hired Black Fodder Coffee for the second time to serve our company wide event and we couldn't be more pleased. His setup, coffee, and personalizations always wow, and he and his partner did an amazing job with our event!

We worked with Black Fodder on a client's multi-day event. They were top-notch in service and quality of beverages. The staff was efficient and friendly. The coffee and espresso in many different iterations was all delicious. And the iced tea was out of this world! I cannot wait to work with Black Fodder again!

Excellent addition to our wedding. I highly recommend Maciej for any event.

Couldn't recommend Black Fodder Coffee enough. Everything between the booking process, communication, and day off coordination was seamless and well run by MacieJ and her team. Our store LOVED having them for our grand opening weekend!

We booked Black Fodder for a wedding weekend farewell brunch at the Drake Hotel. I wanted to create a “coffee shop” experience for our large group of hotel guests. It was absolute perfection! Everyone loved the quality of the coffee and enjoyed the choices of coffee beverages. I was nervous that our guests would have to wait in a long line, but he assured me that it would be smooth and he was absolutely right. Our guests were served quickly and we were all super happy. Thank you Maciej!!

I highly recommend Black Fodder Coffee. Maciej response to my request was swift and accommodating. The set-up was professional looking and the coffee was exceptional. I have not come across a business so unique and profession in all aspects for set-up to take down and everything in between. The barista was skilled and experienced. Highly recommend the logo stencil, very nice touch. I plan to use Black Fodder Coffee for other events.

Excellent espresso and customer service! Our conference attendees loved it. Would hire again!

Black Fodder Coffee is amazing to work with. We had them cater an event for Employee Appreciation Week and everyone was so impressed! From their set up to the drinks, everything was wonderful. I can not say enough good things about them. We already have staff asking when they can come back!

We brought in Black Fodder's espresso cart for our employee recognition event in the office and everyone loved it! Maciej was wonderful to work with, he was very easy to communicate from the sales process through being on-site for set-up. He and his team made the entire on-site process seamless, we will definitely be using him again in the future!

Amazing addition to our event! We had them come into our trade show in Chicago and nothing but rave reviews from our customers! I would highly recommend!

Maciej is a wonderful person. Thanks to him I got into specialty coffee. I discovered various coffee flavours and different ways of brewing. Our journey has been going happily ever since.

Amazing experience and super friendly team

NAIOP, a commercial real estate development association, recently had Black Fodder Coffee at our annual conference for three days in Chicago. It could not have been a better experience. Our attendees were thrilled with the quality of the coffee and teas. Maciej and his staff were friendly, polite, reliable and just a joy to have as part of our experience. We had 1,600 attendees and all great comments. If we are back in Chicago, Black Fodder will be who we call.

I cant say enough on how great Black Fodder Coffee was for our clients wedding. The set up was great and the guests just loved having custom coffee station for after dinner. Maciej was wonderful coming in for an early set up before the wedding began and the long distance to the set up. I would highly recommend Black Fodder coffee your any private event. They are 5 star!

Have used Black Fodder Coffee for multiple corporate events and Maciej and the Black Fodder Team has provided excellent service every time! Response time is excellent and the Black Fodder team flawlessly executes every event! My clients have nothing but rave reviews. I highly recommend proceeding with Black Fodder Coffee for any of your upcoming needs!

I had Black Fodder Coffee come in and serve coffee for my staff and families at my daycare center for our 10 year anniversary. It was a huge hit! The coffee was delicious and the set up was beautiful! It really transformed my lobby to a real little cozy coffee shop! Maciej was so responsive and thorough when booking-he made the process so easy. The whole experience was magical! I can't wait to work with Black Fodder Coffee Again!

As a Chicago area Wedding Planner it is so hard to find an amazing and reliable coffee vendor. This is totally not the case with Black Fodder Coffee. They did an amazing job supplying a top notch coffee bar in September of 2021 for my couples brunch wedding. It was all the rave. From the custom latte menu to incorporating the couples dog guests couldn't get enough. If you are looking to add a unique touch to your wedding reach out to the right away. I can't wait to use them for my own personal birthday soon!

We used Black Fodder for a corporate event and they are simply the best! Coffee quality is excellent as well as the service. I love how knowledgeable they are about the coffee as well. Would highly, highly recommend!!

We worked with Black Fodder for our wedding and they did an incredible job! Our guests absolutely loved the unique experience they helped us create. The coffee is just incredible! They're incredibly easy to work with and helped create an awesome customized menu - we couldn't recommend them more.

Black Fodder provided iced coffee and espresso drinks for our function. Maciej and his fellow barista did a great job. The drinks were excellent and numerous guests stated that they enjoyed the Black Fodder experience. I highly recommend their service and hope that I am able to use them again in the future.

We had the pleasure of having the Black Fodder Coffee crew come into our office for a private event. Our members absolutely raved about their personal experience and some even asked if they could go to a location to grab some coffee and tea outside of the office. This event was a hit and we loved how everything turned out!

Maciej and the Black Fodder Coffee team did an amazing job at our event. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great experience. On top of everything, their drink offerings were AMAZING! In the future, I'll certainly be requesting Black Fodder's services again.

Black fodder was an amazing caterer to my intimate event. At first I was worried it would be “too much” but they really are good at fitting their station to the vibe and the physical space. The coffee was delicious and my guests loved the tea blends they served. Everything they had was beautifully made (from the coffee carafes and china, to the succulents on the table and even their uniform) and most of all Maciej and his colleague were so good at hosting people.

They also communicated clearly before the event and went above and beyond to help me make the most of the small space by rearranging furniture and helping set up decor. The guests were treated like royalty and yet the atmosphere remained relaxed and welcoming.

Maciej has a great energy to him - he seems very kind and thoughtful and that put the guests at ease, especially those who didn’t know a lot about coffee perse. I was nervous about hosting my first event but he really supported me and made sure I knew they’d take care of everything. They also had music that was smooth and not intrusive. I think I’ll have them cater every event in my organization for the foreseeable future. ❤️

We hired Black Fodder Coffee to serve beverages (and cookies) at a VIP reception for local executives from large companies and everyone was impressed by every aspect - the professionalism of Maciej and his assistant, the ambiance provided by their set up, the range of beverages they provided, and the small, thoughtful touches (like a company-branded stencil and sign) were a hit. The event was yesterday and I've already gotten emails from several attendees sharing how awesome the coffee station was and requests for Maciej's details! Thanks so much, Maciej, we will definitely be using you company-wide for all local events.

I had the pleasure of working with blackfodder and meeting Maciej my wedding day. Initially I was looking for an option during cocktail hour for those that don't drink and thought what better than a little 'pickmeup' late afternoon on a Sunday. Aside from the delicious coffee options, Everyone LOVED Maciej!! I can't wait to host another event so I can have the opportunity of working with Blackfodder again!!

Everything was perfect! Great communication from beginning to end. Our entire office raved about the service received and the quality of the drinks. We will definitely have them back again in the future!

Please note that it's not a coffee shop located here; it's a catering service. I first spent 10 minutes looking for it and didn't find it. (That's why I rated it 3 stars which is unfair, sorry.)

Such a wonderful service! I recommend the White Tea! It is wonderful

We had a great experience with Black Fodder Coffee for our employee appreciation event. They were responsive and created a package that fit our budget. On the day of the event, they set up a beautiful display, including coffee-house music. My staff loved the event. Highly recommend this company!

Maciej provided a coffee, tea, & hot cocoa bar for our wedding, and it was by far the highlight of the reception! All our guests absolutely loved it; we can't recommend him & his team enough!!

Black Fodder Coffee was amazing! They worked on my book signing at Row24 Events and the guests raved about the friendly service as well as the amazing tea and coffee they brought! I would highly recommend them for your next event!

I hired Black Fodder to serve coffee the morning of my wedding day. It was a HIT! The owner's attention to detail, presentation, and service was exceptional. I dealt with many different vendors during the planning process and Black Fodder made everything so easy and delivered on every detail.

I needed a barista for an event I was having in Janesville and I'm so glad I found Black Fodder Coffee Co. They were extremely professional from the initial planning phase to event execution. We got so many compliments not only on the drinks & snacks but also on the friendliness of the baristas. Great job Maciej. I will certainly use you again for any and all events around Chicago.

Maciej and his team are amazing to work with! They have handled a small intimate event for 50 and a large wedding for 400 with ease! They have several yummy products to choose from and I would recommend for any event here at our hotel or anywhere else!

I could not have been more thrilled with the experience provided to my guests. The presentation, service and experience were beyond my expectations.

Amazing professional coffee catering service. Maciej is absolutely wonderful!

We had a full service coffee/tea bar at a private party and everyone loved it. The drinks were amazing and the service was exceptional.

Our guest and us loved the experience and service so much we decided to hire Maciej and his team again for another private event which was also wonderful!

Our guests loved the experience and till this day talk about how wonderful Maciej and his team are.

You will not regret hiring Maciej! He always goes the extra mile and is very kind and puts a lot of care and passion into his work.

Great coffee from a friendly and helpful owner with a keen eye for detail. He stepped in last minute to cover an event for our production and did an excellent job. Would recommend to anyone seeking delicious coffee catering.

This was by far one of the best experiences I have had with on site service provider. From start to finish their attention to detail and passion for amazing coffee really shined through. Thank you for an amazing experience! Everyone is still talking about it two weeks later! I will definitely be using your services in the future!

Wow! Maciej was the epitome of professionalism and class. He did a wonderful job serving our team and making our celebration truly unique. Adding our company’s logo to the drinks was a really nice touch! Highly recommend.

**FOLLOW-UP** We had Maciej back for a 2nd event just last week, and it was AWESOME. He was again the model of professionalism, class, and this time, *safety* too--it was such a fun day for my staff and people really enjoyed it. Highly recommend Maciej and Black Fodder Coffee for your events--even in (and *especially* in) this pandemic; it's a huge crowd pleaser, and can be done safely with all the COVID-19 safety precautions in place that you'd expect.

My husband Giusseppi and I got married on September 28th 2019. We wanted a wow factor for our wedding and also wanted to shoe our guest more of who we are as a couple. Gio and I, like many others, are coffee snobs lol We love going out to non chain related coffee shops and finding the strongest and most flavorful craft coffees. I started to search for coffee carts that we could hire for our wedding when I came across Black Fodder. We had the most professional and pleasant consultation and his attention to detail was unreal. We were beyond floored at everything he was showing us and to make things better, the coffee is out of this world!

We had a full service alcoholic bar at our wedding and to be completely honest, the coffee bar out shone the alcohol HANDS DOWN! We will will be using Black Fodder again for our future parties and events. I just keep reliving the moment and it's pure bliss. Maciej was so pleasant and attentive to our guests and his assistant was also incredible! Hands down book Black Fodder!

We had a Black Fodder Coffee cart at our wedding, and it was one of our favorite parts of the night—it was a unique way to love our guests, and everything Maciej served was outstanding!

We had a fantastic experience with Black Fodder at our corporate conference. Maciej is a pro with a keen attention to detail. Our guests were delighted!

We loved working with Maciej for an event hosted by Faith & Work Chicago. His presentation of the coffee and teas is beautiful and his service is professional. Providing craft coffee service at our event was a great experience for all of our guests. I highly recommend working with Maciej.

I looooove this coffee! I am a coffee snob and this coffee gets a two thumbs up! A must try :)

Awesome. Very good presentation coffee and tee brewing at my housewarming party... Big THX! A++

Very good presentation... Delicious coffee and tee. Ery kond person at party... A++

Maciej brings skill and passion to every cup. I've made latte art with him and can say that his attention to his craft on both an aesthetic and taste level are very high. You will enjoy your coffee because it will be made to perfection.

Maciej has an eye for the details and has exceptional taste—he introduced me to a world beyond chain coffee. When it comes to coffee, Maciej is the very best.

I got the opportunity to taste Black Fodder Coffee before they became what it is today. Do give it a try! Definitely a cuppa that you wouldn't wanna miss out on!

Black Fodder takes great pride in its craft! I first encountered Black Fodder at a work event. I wasn't sure what kind of tea I wanted to drink so I communicate to Maciej the type of tea flavors I liked and he right away brewed a great cup of tea for me. The brewing experience of Black Fodder is quite fascinating - there are timers and gadgets - lots of care goes into each brew!

Maciej, the owner, takes his craft seriously and serves up each cup with passion and genuine warmth. He introduced me to the world of good coffee - coffee that stands alone and doesn't need cream, sugar, or flavored syrups. He uses quality beans, skillfully and artfully prepared, and it's amazing what a difference it makes.

Black Fodder's passion for coffee - and for people - fuel their commitment to quality in every cup. Their hospitable business model fosters an environment where coffee-lovers soon become friends. We have never regretted the opportunity to sit and enjoy a personalized brew!

Wonderful 'real' Coffee in a chainstore world

The best way to describe the experience is by saying that it brought back memories of enjoying coffee with friends in Macedonia. If you have ever been to Europe, you would know that drinking coffee is a social event and always bound with fond memories. Enjoy!

Black Fodder has, without a doubt, the best tasting coffee I’ve ever had! Not just the taste, but the entire experience/presentation was worthwhile! Maciej is excellent at what he does!

I have known Maciej for about 7 years and have never seen anyone that cares more about coffee! His attention to detail, presentation, taste, and experience is unmatched. I highly recommend Black Fodder for any of your coffee needs!

I am not a coffee drinker. But I love tea. I am really excited that Black Fodder takes as much care and time into preparing a well curated selection of teas as they do their coffee. That's not too common in the Chicago area. I would highly recommend Black Fodder to the tea drinker as much as everyone else recommends it to the coffee drinker.

Black Fodders coffee has never disappointed me! It is consistent in quality, taste and presentation every time. I love the unique services the owner offers to his customers as well. If you’re looking for amazing coffee, look no further. Black Fodder is a must and I guarantee you’ll love it!

Each technique whether it be chemex, espresso, cold brew, etc has been at the best level of flavor and enjoyment. Coffee from a true pro and artist, thanks Maciej!

Consistently the best coffee I have ever had! Maciej is a true pro and artist.

wow exceeded my expectations. thanks for making my event a success

I had to put 4 stars just for some variety so people know this isn’t rigged! Black Fodder Coffee and their teas are absolutely delightful. I work as a nurse on night shift so I drink a lot of coffee and this is an entirely different experience. It’s nothing like what I can make at home or buy from Starbucks. The staff are great and can set a relaxing yet professional ambiance at any venue. Highly recommend!

The visionary and the vision of Black Fodder Coffee are what the coffee world has been missing! Try it out. I'm confident you'll experience what I'm talking about!

I've known Maciej for years and have always been blown away by his coffee-crafting skills and ability to make every single detail matter. It's amazing to see his business take off with coffee catering and roasting. I'm not kidding-- this coffee will blow your mind. He's catered at several personal parties of mine and my friends were raving about the cold brew for weeks. Worth every penny :) An experience you won't forget!

I would call this "high class coffee" for sure! Every little detail is important when Maciej brews and you can taste the purity of the coffee. I've had Black Fodder cater coffee at some of my personal parties and it was always a HUGE hit. My friends literally talked about it for weeks. It is an experience you will always remember and worth every penny!

Maciej was always all about the Coffee... I rember him making one for me several years ago... after this I understood what does it feel to drink very tasty and refreshing drink. But now ?!!!! Now is whole different level ... I can't imagine better than in Black Fodder!!!! just Can't!!! I am fully addicted :) See You soon when back ! in Chicago - Friends from Poland :)

Maciej makes incredible coffee. You have to try it!

Black Fodder is more than good coffee - it's a great coffee experience! Maciej's love for everything coffee and his care in brewing each individual cup is exceptional. And check out the coffee cart - it visually sets the stage as you enjoy the anticipation of a quality crafted cup of coffee!

Maciej didn't only make coffee for us, he actually made our day! What impressed me is how much love he puts into this whole process:) He enjoys every move he makes while making his delicious coffee, so naturally, we enjoyed every sip of it!

Black fodder has catered to a few events that I have been to. Maciej is very professional and provides superb coffee and tea. The taste, quality and presentation are all phenomenal.

I honestly was not a big coffee fan until tasting Black Fodder Coffee. Not only do they make delicious coffee, but their presentation and customer service is amazing! Maciej knows his coffee and is wonderful to work with. Highly recommended!

Maciej and Heather are wonderful! The atmosphere they bring to the event is just as warming as the coffee and tea. The flavors are distinct and powerful. I love that they have almond milk and coconut sure to add in if I want! All around EXCELLENT!
