Not your average (cup of) Joe
Dave Salzman, a.k.a. Espresso Dave, loves coffee. In 1993, Dave was a man on a mission. Tired of drinking stale, mediocre coffee at weddings and conferences, Dave decided it was time to improve the way coffee was offered at events. His approach? To develop a seamless, high volume, mobile espresso bar cart service for events of all sizes. Dave’s personalized service would complement and enhance—not compete with—the food and beverage service you typically find at weddings, parties, trade shows, conferences, etc.
We’re happy to report that Espresso Dave’s coffee catering debut was a resounding success! As word spread, Dave’s mobile espresso bar service became the talk of the Boston hospitality scene.
