Cold, March birthday party at the Park with kids and what better way to keep our guests warm, fueled up for their Littles with many awesome cups of hot chocolate, espresso, caramel mocha etc etc!!!! Jeremiah was awesome & super sweet! I would recommend him! We totally support local businesses and this one in particular is a must! Service, pricing, quality, quantity were all perfect! Thank you again, Jeremiah and team! read more

Very friendly; walked all prepared drinks to the people in the party so they didn't have to wait around. Also went above and beyond by helping talk to the city when our power went out and we started freaking out. Definitely will have at a future party read more

We hired Espresso Bar Catering as a treat for our employees. It was a hit the first time so we've had them back a couple more times. Jeremiah and his team are all very professional. The quality of coffee, professionalism, and willingness to work with our time restrictions really puts this company on top of the rest! Plus, they offer soy milk and Hot Chocolate as options which helped to meet the desires of our diverse taste buds! I highly recommend hiring this caterer. The staff really knows how to make a good Espresso (and more)! read more

Espresso Bar Catering - Lesley--- awesome Barista! - Caterers Near Me - San Francisco, California

Our company recently called upon Jeremiah for a 30 person sales event. Jeremiah arrived early, set-up, and ensured that the team coordinating the event had their favorite coffee in-hand before the event kicked-off. Our clients and internal team loved the option of having custom-made coffee and Jeremiah was super friendly and accommodating to everyone's request. We will definitely be using his catering service again for future events. read more

I hired Espresso Bar Catering to provide coffees at our elementary Staff Appreciation breakfast in May 2019. It was a TRULY TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE that blindsided me because this company catered another event for us the previous year and it went wonderfully. The difference was the barista. The SERVICE was ABYSMAL. Previously, we were served by a young, pleasant fellow. This time, I was happy to be notified well in advance of our event that we'd be served by the owner Jeremiah. I imagined our event would go as well, if not better, as the previous year because typically owners are the best ambassadors of their companies because they are the most invested (personally and financially). Not this time. Sigh. Don't be fooled by his website espressobarcatering.us which states: "We believe in going the extra mile to make sure you are happy. Leave all the details to us and relax." And don't be fooled by cordial emails from him. We had those, but, in person, we had a very different experience. Please see to Amy W.'s 5/19/19 Yelp review of this experience. I am the "Molly" he refers to in his comment of her review below (his words copied directly). MY notes embedded in [ ]. I did not arrive in a bad mood and I arrived early [JEREMIAH ARRIVED ON TIME. AMY ARRIVED AT 6:48AM, AND SHE SAID HE SEEMED ANNOYED WITH HER. OUR CONTRACT STATED NO ARRIVAL TIME, ONLY "SETUP: 6:40/7AM". IN AN EMAIL TO ME HE STATED HE WOULD BE "ARRIVING BETWEEN 6:45/7AM".] custodian put me in teacher lounge and Amy moved me into multipurpose room. No biggie. Was setting up when she told me to move my car from staff lot [AMY SAID HE BRISTLED AT THE REQUEST, BUT IT IS INAPPROPRIATE FOR A VENDOR TO TAKE A STAFF PARKING SPOT.] and then proceeded to tell me I was being rude to her and she asked if I was going to be like this to all the teachers? I told her no and apologized as she was upset. There was no talk about being kind. Amy never came back after she authorized starting early. I was not unkind to anyone [HE WAS UNKIND TO AMY, ME, AND COUNTLESS OTHERS. BUT REALLY, JUST BEING UNKIND TO ONE PERSON IS TOO MANY, PARTICULARLY WITHOUT APOLOGY OR BEHAVIOR ADJUSTMENT]. I was busy making drinks when Molly (the parent who arranged the TSA) appeared to ask me if I was having a bad day [I SAID THIS BECAUSE HE WAS RUDE DURING OUR INTERACTION. HE DID NOT GREET ME, SMILE, OR THANK ME. I GREETED HIM, SMILED, AND THANKED HIM. WHEN I ASKED IF HE WAS HAVING A BAD DAY, I DID SO GENUINELY BECAUSE HE EXUDED ANNOYANCE. HE THEN SCOFFED AT ME. WHEN I ASKED WHY, HE SAID HE THOUGHT I WAS BEING SARCASTIC. I WAS NOT.] (and made a remark that I had been "insolent" and I have to say that threw me. But I realized the Amy had built up the story (just like every single person had complained about me) and Molly was there to pass on the word to me. [I WAS THERE TO ORDER A COFFEE AND SEE IF HE WAS UNPLEASANT TO ME AS AMY SAID HE WAS TO HER. AND, HE WAS!] Made about 65 drinks for the 40 guests I was told would be there [HE WAS NEVER GIVEN A GUEST NUMBER. HE WAS CONTRACTED TO MAKE DRINKS FOR 2 HOURS. FYI, AS THE TOTAL FOR THE SERVICE WAS $395, 40 COFFEES WOULD WORK OUT TO $9.87/COFFEE. SEEMS A LITTLE STEEP FOR COFFEE SERVED WITH A SIDE OF SNARK.] was business like and turned out drinks efficiently both to walk ups and the list Molly kept adding on to ["(E)FFICIENTLY" IS A STRETCH. HE SAT AND WAS ON HIS CELL PHONE A LOT OF THE TIME I WAS WAITING FOR THE COFFEES I ORDERED TO DELIVER TO OUR TEACHERS - TO SPARE AT LEAST SOME OF THEM AN INTERACTION WITH HIM. HE RUDELY ASKED ME WHAT IT MEANT BY "PEPP LATTE" ON MY ORDER LIST. AFTER 15 YEARS IN BUSINESS, A BARISTA SHOULD BE ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT "PEPP" IS SHORT FOR "PEPPERMINT". OR ASK KINDLY FOR CLARIFICATION.] People greeted me and I responded with appropriate courtesies. [NOPE.] Niether Amy or Molly know me and both seem to have this elevated sense of what they are entitled to. [WE DIDN'T NEED TO KNOW HIM, JUST THAT THE CONTRACTED COFFEE SERVICE WOULD BE EFFICIENT AND PLEASANT. THERE WAS NO 'ELEVATED SENSE OF WHAT WE ARE ENTITLED TO'] I felt disrespected mostly by Molly cause she appeared and was antagonistic from the start [NO, ONLY IN RESPONSE TO HIS POOR BEHAVIOR TOWARD ME] not even bothering to introduce herself. I guess Amy feels that an apology just means she can then go on to tell everyone her story. [A GENUINE APOLOGY FOLLOWED BY BEHAVIOR IMPROVEMENT WOULD SURELY HAVE MADE AMY'S STORY TAKE A POSITIVE TURN.] Expected this review and it is part of the process of YELP. I do hundreds of services a year and there are some that just go wrong. Some people will read all this and conclude Amy and Molly are justified in their views. I think it is rude to blindside people (Amy delivered her comments from 10' away) and Molly got the last word) [Not sure how distance and me having the last word constitutes blindsiding...] but there are two sides. It is agreed that we shall not meet again. [HE ASKED ME NOT TO CALL AGAIN. MY LAST WORD- "SURE".] read more

My groom asked me for 2 things from our wedding, to have a say in the wedding bands and to have a coffee caterer. We got both, but he was only happy with one and it wasn't the coffee caterer. There was a long line the entire evenning at the coffee bar and I thought wow! The coffee must be great. But was I ever wrong! The barista was slow, the machine kept breaking down, and by the time I got a cup of hot chocolate, I couldn't even tell that it was hot chocolate. But that wasn't the worst part. My groom waited in line for about 15 mintues and when our coordinater noticed him standing in line, brought him straight to the front and requested a cup of coffee for him, only for the barista to snap at them to wait. When he received his coffee, it was not at all what he was expecting. I understand that techinical trouble happens all the time, but if a problem arises, be calm and nice, you're providing a service so don't be cranky and definitely do not snap at the person that hired you... On another note, the owner did provide us with a partial refund, but thats just money... It wasn't about the money, it was our wedding day and we won't be able to get that back... read more

Thank you again Jeremiah and Nancy for great service and a wonderful addition to our Teacher Appreciation Week! You are always on time and work with a smile :) The teachers love your coffee and can not wait to have you come back next year! VA read more

If I could give this business zero stars I would! Our school hired Jeremiah to work our first morning of teacher appreciation week. He showed up in a bad mood and the mood didn't end until he left. I told him he was out of line and not being very kind and asked that he please treat our staff with kindness but every one of them came up to me and said he was less than kind. I can't believe that the owner of a company whose business is mainly customer service oriented is lacking so deeply in those skills. I would never and will never hire this company again! read more

I work for a boutique catering company and we've used Jeremiah's several times for events ranging from 50 people to 250+. He and his team are great! Their load in/out is super simple, the espresso cart doesn't take up too much space and above all, the lattes and espresso are great! I would highly recommend Jeremiah and his team - We've made him our primary source for espresso catering! read more

We hired Espresso Bar for a client's event and we were absolutely thrilled with the service. Jeremiah arrived promptly and set up without any fuss. He was very friendly, gave great customer service to guests and above all made awesome hot cholcolate on a cold December day. The hot chocolate bar was a hit with everyone. Will definitely recommend him for future events. read more

I hired Espresso Bar Catering for my wedding this past January. My wedding planner recommended them to me. I had a wonderful experience with Jeremiah and the rest of the Espresso Bar team. They were prompt, professional, and friendly. I had a morning ceremony at a Sikh temple. And my guests loved their lattes!! It was the perfect addition to the breakfast menu. I highly recommend Espresso Bar Catering for your next event!! read more

Disrespectful. Rude. Embarrassing. Jeremiah himself (the owner) came to cater our holiday event and showed up in a bad mood for no reason. He was rude to me, my husband and my guests! He actually told one of my guests to "use their brain" because they had thrown away their cup and later decided they wanted another cup of coffee. Needless to say we will not be hiring Jeremiah for our future events. read more

Rude. We hired Espresso Bar for a company event and he went to the wrong building. I came and got him to get him set up in the right place, and right away he starts spouting off. Did he call when he arrived like we asked him to? No. He just waltzed into the wrong place to set up, and proceeded to hold it against us. Not only did he hold it against us, he held it against us for the REST OF THE EVENT. He was worse than the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld, serving each employee with a grudge. We got a ton of complaints over his attitude. Really a terrible guy. Do not use. read more

We had an excellent experience with Espresso Bar Catering and Jeremiah. This was for a faculty/staff appreciation breakfast at a private school in Marin. Jeremiah arrived and started early, was very professional and friendly, had a beautiful set-up with high-end equipment, and tailored beverages to the likes of our faculty/staff (including de-caf & chai, varying sweetness/flavors, non-dairy alternatives, etc.). He was easily able to keep pace with demand, even though we had 85 attendees. I have used another espresso caterer in the past (at a different school in SF) and found they weren't able to keep pace with demand because their equipment wasn't professional grade (though they were more expensive). I couldn't recommend Espresso Bar Catering enough! read more

Worst ever. Stay away from this guy. He shafted us and left us with a huge bill

We had Jeremiah's espresso cart at our wedding and it was a huge success! Jeremiah was totally self-sufficient; he arrived, set up and was ready to roll without a peep amid all the wedding chaos. I never saw a line of people waiting, service was fast just like you need it to be at a big event (150), and I can vouch for the hot, tasty drinks! And Jeremiah made it easy to work with him - his pricing system is very reasonable and upfront, he clearly lays out what he can do and what he needs on-site, no hidden surprises or added costs, and he was courteous and responsive to my many emails and random questions. He's the real deal and I'm so happy I found him! Thanks for the great service! read more

Jeremiah and his son came out to our daughters first communion reception 50 adults and 20 kids which was hosted along with another family and OMG the coffee was AMAZING! The set up was great and they were so nice and professional. Their cart was a big hit and my daughter and her friends felt so grown up ordering their hot chocolates with whip cream! :) Thank you gentlemen for a fun party we will diffinately recomend them to all our friends and family. read more

We hired Jeremiah for our wedding in November. We served breakfast for dinner and Jeremiah's espresso drinks complimented our menu perfectly. He was a huge hit! Everyone commented on how they had never seen a made-to-order espresso bar at a wedding before. He also brought flavored syrups that are not often offered at many espresso bars, (he made me one of my favorites, an almond latte...Yum!) Thank you Jeremiah for making our fall wedding all the more special with your cozy drinks! read more

Great service. I hired them for my sister's wedding, they went above and beyond. It was very easy to communicate with them, they reached the venue at the scheduled time and even stayed longer since many of my guests were late! I would def recommend their services for any event! read more

A+ all around, I have absolutely no complaints. They were on time (early actually), very friendly and the drinks were delicious! Definitely keeping their info handy for our next party read more

Jeremiah and his partner catered at our wedding- he did an excellent job. people raved about the drinks/his service. I would hire him again for an event! read more

I've used Jeremiah's service twice now as a treat for teacher appreciation week at our school. I'm so impressed with his professionalism. On time, courteous, what more could you ask for?!? Oh, and great coffee! read more

We used Jeremiah's Espresso Catering for a large school, staff appreciation event. WHAT A HIT! Brian, our Barrista for the morning, was fantastic. We were able to serve about 100 staff with ease. Brian was serving espresso type drinks- lattes, mochas etc. in about 2 minutes or less. Coffee quality was great. He rolled in with all of the supplies. We needed to do nothing but provide a small space and a plug. I highly recommend using Jeremiah's Espresso Catering. It worked out perfectly for our event. Thank you Jeremiah and Brian! We will call you again. read more

Best morning! We hired Espresso Bar Catering to come and serve our staff at our high school for staff appreciation week. Jeremiah and Nancy were here early and were all set up before the start time. Extremely professional. They were kind and welcoming to my staff and the coffee was delicious. They offer a variety of coffees and flavors... and even offer hot chocolate for our non coffee drinkers. Thank you Jeremiah and Nancy! read more

I was in charge of putting on a high school Grad Night for our local high school last year. One of the things we wanted was a coffee/smoothie cart. I did quite a bit of research and searching around for someone that sounded good and was reasonably priced. I found Jeremiah's ad on Craigslist and decided to email him our details (number of people, time and place of event, etc.). He promptly returned my e-mail and gave me a quote that was very reasonable. So we agreed on a set time for coffee/smoothie service. When the time of the Grad Night came, John came out to our high school in plenty of time to get all set-up. All the kids loved the different coffee drinks and smoothies. It was a hit with everybody. Now, its time again to book vendors for another Grad Night this year and guess who I am going to call to take care of our coffee cart needs. Jeremiah hands down. Very professional, price is very reasonable, and great service. I look forward to dealing with them again and again. Thanks Guys!!!! read more

Jeremiah did the coffee and Italian soda service for our wedding and was amazing! Guests were uberly impressed by his professionalism, product quality and fun. He even sent us a thank you after the wedding- a real class act! read more

We hired these guys for a 3-day outdoor pro swimming event that we sponsor last weekend and were more than pleased with their service. Jeremiah was very friendly, easy to work with, and represented our brand in a very professional manner. They were able to create any coffee or tea drink that was asked of them and we received many compliments and great feedback from the coaches we were there to impress. I would recommend Espresso Bar Catering to anyone who wants good coffee from great people. Thank you Jeremiah! read more

We just had Jeremiah's Espresso Catering come to our school for Teacher Appreciation Week for the 3rd year in a row. The cost is very reasonable. Our barista, John, was on time, friendly and served up some great drinks for our teachers and staff. Everyone loved it! We will be calling on their service again next year! read more

I contacted Jeremiah to have his coffee cart at my son's school for a school fundraiser and he could not have been more helpful. He was easy to contact and very responsive. He was a pleasure to work with-on time, friendly and very prepared. He even took the time to give us very helpful suggestions for our next event. Having the coffee cart was a big success-everyone loved it!! I highly recommend Jeremiah! read more

I used Espresso Bar Catering because I remembered them from when we had used them at a former company I had worked for and I remembered the experience as a pleasant one. It all came flooding back why - the other times the owner wasn't the one providing the service. I would never hire him again. He was so rude to not only me, the person who hired him, but every person who came up for a beverage - to the point where employees approached me about what his problem was. Snapping about literally everything, including loudly asking me to have his check ready. Had I the time I would have removed the generous gratuity I provided. TIPS = to insure proper service, and he absolutely provided the worst experience of any vendor I've ever hired. A word of advice: provide great service and a positive experience and people will hear about it and your business will grow leaps and bounds. This is the shot heard round the world and my network of people who hire these kind of vendors is huge. HUGE. read more
