The Carts

Coffee cart catering, reimagined.

Every La Vita cart is handcrafted from materials no one else has. Patagonian rosewood with Kentucky coffeewood. Japanese Shou Sugi Ban charred pickle barrel wood with tropical color accents. White oak pulled from the bottom of Lake Superior after 100 years, topped with walnut. Whitewashed barnboard built from reclaimed pickle barrel wood. Four carts. All one of a kind. People touch them before they order.

Behind each one, a fleet of La Marzocco GS/3 machines with custom Bocote wood side panels and Mahlkönig E80 grinders — the world’s fastest commercial espresso grinder. We scale to fit your crowd. Your guests hear the steam, smell the pull, watch the pour. That’s the point.

The Experience

Not a coffee cart. A moment.

Every detail of our Twin Cities coffee cart catering is intentional.

The Carts

Exotic hardwoods from three continents. Century-old Lake Superior oak. Japanese charred wood. Reclaimed pickle barrels. Four carts, all one of a kind.

02

The Machines

A fleet of La Marzocco GS/3 espresso machines with custom Bocote wood panels. Paired with the Mahlkönig E80 — the fastest commercial espresso grinder on the planet. We scale to fit your event. 50 guests or 500.

03

The Baristas

Elevate

Already great. Make it unforgettable.

Our standard Minneapolis coffee cart catering is a full espresso bar. These push it further.

On Tap

Nitro Cold Brew

Smooth, bold, served on draft. The cascading pour stops conversations mid-sentence. A hit at corporate events and summer weddings alike.

Chilled

Cold Foam Toppers

Sweet cream cold foam. Maple Cream. Cherry. Pistachio. Floats on iced drinks like a cloud.

Steeped

Chai + Tea Service

Two chai styles. Six premium Steven Smith teas. For the guests who mean it when they say “just tea.”

Iced

Iced Drink Upgrade

Everything on the hot menu, poured over ice. Iced lattes, mochas, chai — summer or not.

Extended

Extra Service Time

Need more than two hours? We’ll keep pouring. Last guest, last drink.

Options

Decaf + Milk Alternatives

Decaf on deck. Coconut, almond, and real lactose-free dairy milk available. Actual dairy, not powder. Someone always asks. We’re always ready.

Ripples

Ripples Custom Latte Art Printing

Your logo, a QR code, a guest selfie, or the dog — printed directly on the foam. Real time. Every cup.

Brown ink on brown coffee? That’s the basic version. La Vita prints in technicolor — reds from black carrot, purples from cabbage, ocean blues, jungle greens, even magenta. All plant-based. All food-safe. Your logo has never looked this good on a latte.

Guests take photos. They post. Your brand hits their feed without you lifting a finger or spending a dime on ads. The most shareable moment in Minneapolis espresso catering.

Blinky

A live split-flap display. At your event.

It looks like it was pulled from a 1974 airport terminal. It does things that shouldn’t be possible in 2026. Only available with La Vita coffee cart catering in the Twin Cities.

01

It Clacks

Mechanical split-flap letters cycle through the alphabet and lock into place. The sound fills the room. People stop talking. They turn around. They watch.

02

It Listens

Guests text a message from their phone. Blinky queues it, filters it, and flips it for the room. Welcome messages. Shout-outs. Toasts. The board becomes the voice of the crowd.
