Espresso catering for college events, weddings, and celebrations in Northfield, Minnesota. Serving Carleton College, St. Olaf College, and the community between them.
Get Your ProposalTwo world-class colleges. One coffee caterer they both call.
Northfield is a town built on education, history, and a community that takes pride in doing things right. Carleton College and St. Olaf College both know what La Vita brings. We’ve served events at both.
College Events
Carleton. St. Olaf. Northfield’s two colleges host alumni weekends, donor events, commencements, and faculty celebrations that demand more than a catered coffee urn. A handcrafted cart and a La Marzocco bring the kind of experience these institutions are known for.
Weddings
Northfield’s charm draws couples from across the region. The historic downtown, the river, the college campuses as backdrops. A handcrafted exotic hardwood cart with professional espresso service adds a layer of sophistication that fits Northfield perfectly.
Community Celebrations
Graduations. Fundraisers. The Defeat of Jesse James Days crowd. Northfield celebrates with character, and a professional coffee cart elevates any gathering from routine to remarkable.
Everything arrives with us. You enjoy the college town.
Every Northfield coffee catering booking arrives complete. Professional baristas, commercial equipment, all supplies, setup, breakdown, and cleanup.
La Marzocco GS/3
A $9,000 commercial machine with custom Bocote wood side panels and Mahlkönig E80 grinders. The kind of equipment a college town full of coffee snobs actually respects.
Four Handcrafted Originals
Patagonian rosewood. Japanese Shou Sugi Ban. Lake Superior white oak. Whitewashed barnboard. Carts that fit a campus quad as naturally as a downtown venue.
Ripples Latte Art
College crests, event logos, a guest selfie. Printed directly on the foam in technicolor. Available when requested, at no extra charge.
Nitro Cold Brew
Served on draft from a dual-tap system. If there’s one crowd that appreciates nitro on tap, it’s a college town.
“We brought La Vita in for an alumni event and the professors were more impressed with the espresso machine than the keynote speaker. They asked three times if we could make it a permanent installation.”Eric — College Event, Northfield MN
