A coffee bar rental that comes with the barista

When you rent our mobile coffee bar, you're not picking up equipment and figuring it out. A professional barista arrives early, sets up the bar, and serves your guests made-to-order drinks for the whole event — then breaks everything down and cleans up.

It's the coffee bar for a party, a birthday, a baby or bridal shower, a wedding brunch, an open house or an employee appreciation day. Guests choose from lattes, cappuccinos, mochas, americanos, chai, matcha and hot chocolate, hot or iced.

Make it yours with branded cups, signage and a custom menu, or a signature drink named for the guest of honor. Or keep it simple — the clean white cart and fresh flowers fit any room.

What hosts, planners and guests say after the cart packs up — in their own words.

Get-together
“I highly recommend this tasteful drink. The iced vanilla latte was fantastic. If you are having a get together , a birthday party or any event this mobile coffee bar will be an added treat for your friends and family !”
Brad Furman
Event planner
“As an event / wedding planner, I cannot understate the amount of professionalism and fun Nicole exudes! I even booked her for my own home to kickoff a birthday celebration and it was truly an amazing experience. The coffee and her cart were both exceptional and the added fun it will bring to any event is truly magical. I highly recommend her to my clients and of course myself.”
Gina Wolf
Morning event
“I hired Espresso Experience for a small morning event and they were the perfect choice for our coffee shop vibe. The team arrived early, were set up rather quickly and served 38+ guests in absolutely no time at all. They offered several options - their "special" at the time was the pistachio latte - I hear it was to die for. Several guests even came back for seconds. I will most definitely be calling on them again in the future and you should too! You won't be sorry.”
Shelley Hodges
“If you are looking for a fun thing to add to your next event this is it! The baristas are the sweetest offering every drink with a smile.”
Rachel Lett
“The Espresso Experience was awesome! Super tasty coffee, friendly barista, and really great service. Nicole helped make our event extra fun. Definitely would recommend.”
Mattski
“Espresso Experience was an absolute delight to work with, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, their team brought both professionalism and warmth, creating an experience that was every bit as enjoyable as it was delicious.”

Questions

Good things to know

How much does coffee cart catering cost?

Pricing is a flat rate built on two things: your guest count and how long you want service. Travel within 25 miles of Virginia Beach is included, there are no hidden fees, and no tips are expected. Answer a few questions in the form on this page and you'll have your custom quote within minutes.

What do you need from the venue?

One dedicated 15-amp, 110V outlet within about 25 feet of the cart and a spot to set up — indoors or out. We arrive early, set up, serve, then break down and clean up.

Is there a limit on drinks?

No. Drinks are unlimited for your whole service window, and we staff to your guest count so there's enough for everyone the entire time. It's hosted-bar style — your guests never pay or tip.

What drinks are on the menu?

Lattes, cappuccinos, mochas, americanos, espresso and drip coffee — every one served hot or iced. For non-coffee drinkers there's chai latte, ceremonial-grade matcha, hot chocolate and herbal tea. Flavors include vanilla, sugar-free vanilla, caramel, hazelnut, mocha and seasonal syrups.

How long can the coffee bar run?

Anywhere from a quick one-hour coffee service to all-day conferences and multi-day events. Morning welcome, afternoon break or late-night espresso — we build the schedule around your event, not coffee shop hours.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can — especially for weddings, large corporate events and anything with custom branding, which needs two weeks of prep. Put your date in the form to check availability.
