Some events you remember for the people. Some you remember for the room. This one we'll remember for the view.
We were invited to cater a private yoga session at 1750 Sunset Blvd in Boulder — a modern stucco-and-cedar home perched on the hill above Mapleton Hill, currently listed at $16.5 million. The brief from the host was simple: arrive before the guests, set up quietly, and have specialty drinks ready the moment the class came off the mat.
The setting
The house itself is a study in restraint — white stucco, vertical cedar slats, deep overhangs, and a clean line of grasses and lavender running along the front walk. From the street it reads as a single quiet volume. From the back, it opens completely: a pool, a fire pit, a long dining terrace, and an upper deck that frames the Flatirons like a postcard.
Setting up
We pulled the van into the driveway just before 9:30 a.m., raised the striped umbrella over the order window, and started the espresso machine warming while the host walked us through the flow. Yoga would happen on the upper deck — twelve mats, sunrise alignment, about seventy-five minutes — and we'd move the cart up the side path during savasana so the first drinks were ready as guests rolled their mats.
The menu we built for it
Yoga drinks are their own category. Guests want something restorative, not heavy — caffeine for the people who want it, something cleaner for the people who don't, and nothing that fights the post-class quiet.
-
Iced Matcha Latte — ceremonial grade, oat milk by default. The most-ordered drink of the morning.
-
Honey Cinnamon Latte — hot, gentle, the cozy option for the cooler air on the deck.
-
Iced Lavender Latte — a quiet nod to the lavender lining the front walk.
-
Yuzu Pineapple Refresher — zero caffeine, full flavor, for guests rehydrating before the drive home.
We paired the drinks with warm Butter Croissants from the van and a small tray of Egg White Bites — light enough to eat barefoot, substantial enough to count as breakfast.
The hour after class
This is the part we always remind hosts about. The class itself is seventy-five minutes. The hour after class is where the event actually happens — guests linger on the deck, the host pours water, conversations stretch out. That's the window the coffee bar earns its keep. Twenty guests, roughly thirty-two drinks served between 9:30 and 11:15, and nobody left without saying goodbye to the barista.
"It felt less like a class and more like a small Sunday." — the host, packing up mats.
Hosting something similar?
Sunrise yoga, wellness retreats, real estate open houses, broker previews, and small private gatherings are some of our favorite events to cater — low volume, high attention, and a menu we can tune to the room. If you're planning something along these lines in Boulder, Denver, or anywhere on the Front Range, tell us about your event and we'll build a menu around it.
