About

We are a Chicago-born craft coffee company, offering specialty coffee and tea catering, coffee education, and (soon) our own label of roasted beans and bottled cold brew. We cater events all over Chicago metro area—from backyard parties, weddings, and corporate happenings to conferences, trade shows, and even presidential campaigns (yes, true story!). Coffee that is picked at its ripest, patiently processed, small-batch freshly roasted, accentuating its natural tasting notes, and skillfully brewed with the utmost appreciation for the gift it is and for all the hands that made it possible to enjoy. Craft coffee is not just a means of caffeine delivery—it’s a ritual.

For us, coffee is an unbashful display of hospitality, an art form, and a performance—a mesmerizing spectacle of traditional manual brewing methods and refreshing cold brew and nitro infused coffee. Whatever the occasion, we’ll bring the most amazing craft coffee and tea experience with us to totally impress your guests. Of course, you take all the credit.

Currently, we provide craft coffee and tea catering, which includes your choice of manually brewed coffee (slow bar), batch brew filter coffee, cold brew and nitro-infused coffee on tap as well as highest quality loose leaf teas.

Reviews of Black Fodder Coffee Co.

Wedding MVP!

Black Fodder was the MVP of my wedding day. I had a vision back in 2019 after experiencing a mobile espresso bar at a conference of having one at my wedding and Black Fodder executed beyond my expectations. The owner, Maciej, was great to work with and clearly laid out all the different coffee options to choose from. We ended up going with the classic espresso and nitro cold brew, plus 2 flavored syrups and custom cup sleeves, and I have no regrets.

The baristas on the day were so fun and were dancing with us all throughout my wedding reception. EVERYONE who had a coffee drink (hot or cold) from Black Fodder was absolutely raving about the taste and quality of the offerings, even the other vendors. Even those who don’t normally drink cold coffee valued the nitro cold brew (with lids!) to keep them cool and caffeinated on the dancefloor. They truly stole the show along with keeping everyone caffeinated and ready to keep partying all night. Even my husband, who took some time to get onboard with the idea of a coffee cart, agreed that Black Fodder was one of our best decisions!

My only note is they brought a small display board to show what coffee options were on offer, but it didn’t mention that we had syrups available. This was a very small detail however and most people were informed of the flavor options by the baristas. Overall, we loved having this service at our wedding and it made for an incredibly memorable and tasty experience. If I ever have an excuse to Maciej and Black Fodder again, I would do so without hesitation.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
