Service & Setup

Our specialty coffee catering service was the first of its kind in New England. We started in 1993.

Massachusetts, including Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard; New Hampshire; Maine; Vermont; Rhode Island, including Newport and Block Island; and Northeastern Connecticut.

Our team travels all over New England. There’s a travel fee if you’re outside a 1.5-hour radius of Boston or if we need alternative transportation such as airline tickets for events beyond a reasonable driving distance.

Generally, we provide unlimited espresso bar service for a minimum of 2 hours. If you require additional hours, just let us know upon booking.

Our espresso cart has a very small footprint, measuring approximately 5′ by 5′. A 6′ table or bar provided by the venue will work too.

Yes. We require a dedicated 110 volt/15 amp circuit. An electrical outlet must be less than 25 feet away.

No. Our service is self-contained.

Yes, as long as a dedicated power source is provided. There must be an electrical outlet within 25 feet or a generator nearby.

Yes, we can provide multiple stations manned by our baristas. Whether it’s a small group of 10 or a 10,000-person trade show, we’ve got you covered.

Odds & Ends

We’re committed to reducing waste and increasing recycling efforts. Learn more about our sustainability efforts.

For coffee catering in New England, we are the go-to source. We have served clients such as Adam Sandler, Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matthew McConaughey, and Cameron Diaz (to name a few). Take a look at our A-list served.

Nope. We bring the café to you.

Even though we’re considered a mobile espresso bar, we don’t serve from a truck. 

No, but we can provide your bartender with freshly brewed espresso for espresso martinis and other creative craft cocktails.

Beverages

We serve delicious coffee-based drinks, regular or decaffeinated, including dark-roasted espressos, cappuccinos, lattes and mochaccinos. We’ve got chai lattes for tea lovers. There are a lot of drinks you can order hot or iced, and some are even frozen. Along with low-fat milk, we can make your drink with oat, soy, rice, almond, or cashew milk. There are a bunch of flavors to choose from, including sugar-free ones. Find out what’s on the menu here.

We use a dark Italian roast specially made for Espresso Dave’s Coffee Catering. It’s mellow and sweet, with a rich, syrupy body and a pleasant finish.

We also have smoothie bars, hot chocolate bars, and Italian soda bars.

Yes, definitely! We can customize your espresso bar experience so it’s unique and memorable. We have our exclusive Beverage Toppers®, custom coffee art, signature drinks, special menus, and more.

It was absolutely fantastic and the guests loved it!  I think some even went up 4 or 5 times to try different things (or get 5 espressos). Thank you so much again for being part of our day! You certainly helped make it special.

Dave and his team are unmatched! If you have an espresso drinking crowd- you do not need to look any further - book Dave and his espresso cart! If you are looking for something unique add his drink toppers for a fun surprise to guests, they were SO cool and took our monogram throughout the entire event!

Had Espresso Dave’s provide coffee service for a brunch at our house the day after our wedding. They were AMAZING. Showed up early, setup, served coffee, cleaned up and left. Barista was professional and had a great personality. The guests were amazed as were my wife and I. The espresso drinks were delicious. Would definitely hire Espresso Dave for the next party!

Thank you so very much!! Your Coffee service is excellent and Haeden was incredible!! He called in advance to let me know that he was coming, set up well in advance of the party, and was so professional. Everyone loved it. I was a little leery about booking this online having been burnt before (several no shows for other events!!) but you responded to my emails and the Coffee service was better than we even imagined.

We hired Espresso Dave to provide post-dinner caffeine at our wedding reception, and it was an excellent choice. He was a very popular addition to the evening, providing a little pick-me-up as people were hitting the dance floor. The barista was super nice, and his drinks delicious—offering flavor additions such as maple which we heard rave reviews about from multiple people. Thanks Espresso Dave!

Thank you for being a part of our holiday parties this year! The baristas at each event were fantastic. The menu was so unique and really added to the holiday feel. I don’t think there was a time during either event where there wasn’t a line at the cart – the tenants loved it!

All of our guests loved Espresso Dave. They said it was a classy addition to our wedding, especially since it was a summer evening and since some guests wanted a fun, non-alcoholic alternative. Dave was prompt, congenial, delightful to guests and a hard worker.
