Featured Testimonial
"Kat was absolutely incredible at a recent party I threw. Not only is she able to customize the cups and the cart itself to the party theme, but she is an incredible and highly-trained barista and uses only the best of coffee beans, such as Metric. This made for an amazing night with multiple rounds of coffee. She is able to customize menus to your preferences, and so we had the classic espresso menu but also key lattes and tea-based lattes based off of the party theme and our favorites. Every single drink delivered and hit the mark. Would highly recommend Kat for anyone’s party or event but especially anyone serious about coffee and quality drinks."

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Why book espresso catering?
Our clients love espresso catering because it offers a unique and memorable experience that boosts employee morale and impresses clients. A mobile espresso bar brings a touch of sophistication and convenience to meetings, conferences, or office celebrations, providing high-quality coffee without the need to leave the premises. It also encourages social interaction and productivity, creating a more energized and engaged workplace atmosphere.
What are your location requirements?
We will need access to a ramp or elevator for load-in/load-out to service site. Regarding space, we will need a 5ft by 4ft area for service and preferably a storage area to store extra bins.
What are your power requirements?
Our espresso carts just need a single wall outlet that's not on the same breaker as a large appliance like a fridge or microwave.
Will there be a tip jar on the cart?
No, we don't want your guests to feel obligated to tip. They are more than welcome to and baristas can discretely accept cash tips at their discretion.
Can I request a recurring service? (ie. every first Friday)
Absolutely! Please email us at hello@backtothegrind.co to learn more about reccuring bookings. You can enjoy a percentage discounts for booking for 3 months to a year of espresso catering.
