Espresso pulled to order, not poured from a carafe
Espresso is the whole point of our name. Our mobile espresso bar runs on Italian espresso machines with locally roasted beans, so every shot is ground and pulled fresh to order — the base for every latte, cappuccino, mocha and americano we hand across the cart.
Founder Nicole Davis learned the craft as a barista in Seattle, serving some of the biggest Fortune 500 companies. Our baristas dial in the espresso, steam the milk and manage a line without letting quality slip.
Espresso bar rental works for nearly any event: weddings, corporate events, brand activations, showers and private parties. Book one espresso cart for an intimate gathering, or add carts and baristas for a convention crowd.

What hosts, planners and guests say after the cart packs up — in their own words.
“The Espresso Experience was amazing! The staff enjoyed the various lattes, cappuccinos and espresso shots. Nicole was very professional, the setup was awesome, and everything ran very smoothly. Would recommend their services and will definitely use again.”
“I love Nicole’s espresso experience. I had to drink her coffee at two chamber events and the coffee was smooth and tasty. Coffee can often be rough on my body, but my experience with Nicole has been amazing. I would highly recommend!”
“I had a flavorful coffee experience at HR Chamber member meet-up. I had a hazelnut latte that had a delicious flavor and the hotness of the latte was well proportioned.”

Questions
Good things to know
What drinks are on the menu?

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.
How many guests can you serve?
We serve 50 to 200 drinks an hour, which covers anything from 20 guests to 200. For larger events, conventions and trade shows we add baristas and additional carts.
Do you have dairy-free and decaf options?
Yes. Every drink can be made with whole, oat or almond milk, and decaf is available for anything on the menu.
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.
What areas do you serve?
We're based in Virginia Beach and travel is included within 25 miles — Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Hampton and Newport News. We also serve Williamsburg, Richmond and the rest of Virginia; a mileage fee may apply outside the 25-mile radius.
