About Us

At La Vita Espresso, we don’t just serve coffee—we set the gold standard! As the original coffee shop catering company in the Twin Cities, we’ve spent 30 years redefining what exceptional service looks like. While others may cut corners, we’ve built our reputation on professionalism, quality, and innovation.

• Fully Licensed & Insured: Your peace of mind matters. We take compliance seriously, so you can trust us to deliver worry-free service.
• The Real Deal: We use top-tier, commercial-grade equipment built to handle the demands of large events with ease. Unlike others relying on subpar equipment better suited for a home kitchen, we ensure every cup is consistently high-quality and expertly crafted.
• A Full Café Experience: We’re not just coffee; we bring the entire coffee shop vibe to your event. From handcrafted beverages to customizable offerings, every detail is designed to wow your guests.
• Leaders, Not Followers: As the original coffee shop catering company in the area, we’ve seen many try to imitate us—but true excellence can’t be copied.

When you choose La Vita Espresso, you’re choosing experience, authenticity, and a team that’s passionate about making your event unforgettable. Trust the best. Trust the original. Trust La Vita Espresso.

Are you a food truck or coffee truck based in Minneapolis?

No, we do not operate a coffee truck or food truck based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Instead, all of our services are provided on mobile coffee catering carts that we can set up anywhere! Why stand outside in a cold parking lot in January, waiting for a cup of coffee, when we can set up our coffee service right inside your warm, heated office? Whether you’re in Minneapolis, St. Paul, or anywhere in the Twin Cities, our portable coffee carts bring the café experience to you—no truck required!

Will you come to my event and sell coffee, smoothies, or gelato individually on a cash-sale basis?

No, we do not offer individual cash-sale services for coffee, smoothies, or gelato at events. La Vita Espresso is licensed as a catering company, and we are not legally permitted to conduct individual cash sales. Instead, all of our services are provided at a flat group rate, ensuring an “open bar” experience for you and your guests.

Whether you’re hosting an event in Minneapolis, St. Paul, or anywhere in the Twin Cities, we’ll never require your guests to pay for drinks or food. The cost of our coffee catering, smoothie catering, or gelato catering is covered by the event host, not the attendees.

Will you set up your services in my backyard, side yard, front yard, or inside my house?

If you’re hiring us to provide coffee catering, smoothie catering, or gelato catering at your home, we can only set up in your garage or driveway—no exceptions. Unfortunately, we are unable to set up in the backyard, side yard, front yard, or inside your house.

However, if your event is in a party room at a condo or apartment building with ramp access or elevators (no steps or stairs), we can cater your event there without any issues. Our services are fully portable and designed to fit a variety of event spaces in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the Twin Cities.
