We serve events throughout San Francisco, the East Bay, Marin, Napa, Sonoma, and the South Bay, from intimate gatherings to events with 2,000+ guests.
You get the compliments. We take care of the rest.
Our Espresso drinks are made the old traditional method using the finest machines that extract the fine coffee oils necessary to produce the aromatic smell and flavor required to make the finest drinks.
History
Established in 1998.
Espresso Subito began in 1998, when founder Gary brought decades of food-service experience into mobile coffee catering. Since then, the company has grown into one of the Bay Area’s longest-running espresso catering services, serving weddings, corporate events, private parties, and large-scale gatherings throughout Northern California.
The standard has stayed the same from the beginning: source excellent ingredients, arrive prepared, and make the service feel effortless. Today, Espresso Subito serves coffee roasted exclusively by Moschetti Artisan Roaster in Vallejo, using small-batch beans selected for freshness and quality.
More than four decades of hospitality experience are behind every event, from setup and presentation to keeping the line moving smoothly without compromising the coffee.
Meet the Business Owner: Gary G.
Gary is a food person first. After moving to the Bay Area and deciding he couldn’t find a bagel worth eating, he started making his own. In 1979, he opened Holey Bagel in San Francisco, which grew into a well-loved city bakery.
That experience taught him what hospitality at volume really takes: early mornings, exacting ingredients, careful preparation, and a standard that doesn’t slip when things get busy.
Gary carried that philosophy into Espresso Subito in 1998. His approach remains simple: source the best, accept nothing average, and make every guest feel well taken care of.
