Short answer: A mobile espresso bar is one of the easiest ways to upgrade an office holiday party, client open house, or year-end team breakfast in Denver or Boulder County. Latte'Da's electric espresso van plugs into one standard 110V outlet, sets up in about 30 minutes, runs silently indoors with no generator or fumes, and pours handcrafted hot drinks to order. Bookings run on a flat hourly rate with a 2-hour minimum, and fall and winter dates are filling fast, so lock in your December date now at mylatteda.com/book.
Why add a coffee bar to a holiday party?
Holiday parties tend to follow the same script: a buffet, a playlist, and a bar. A barista-made latte gives guests something that feels like a gift instead of a line item. It also works for everyone on the guest list, including people who don't drink alcohol, folks driving home on icy roads, and teams that celebrate during the workday.
A coffee bar also gives a party a natural gathering spot. Guests wait a minute or two for a drink, start talking, and stay longer. For a client open house or year-end appreciation event, that's exactly the kind of moment you want.
What drinks work best for a Colorado winter party?
Cold Front Range evenings call for warm, cozy cups. From the Latte'Da menu, a cozy winter lineup could include:
- Honey Cinnamon Latte, made with honey, real cinnamon, espresso, and steamed milk. Read more about our Honey Cinnamon Latte.
- Mocha made with Belgian dark chocolate.
- Hot Chai Latte and Earl Grey tea for non-coffee drinkers.
- Hot chocolate, a good pick for family-friendly parties.
- Classic, vanilla, and caramel lattes, flat whites, and ceremonial-grade matcha lattes.
Decaf is available, and oat, almond, coconut, and soy milk are offered at no upcharge. Sugar-free options are available on request. Iced lattes and cold brew are on the menu too, for warm offices and the guest who orders iced coffee in a snowstorm.
Want a custom touch? Custom signage and a custom menu board are available as enhancements, and corporate clients can add their logo to cup sleeves and chalkboard menus with four weeks' notice.
Can a mobile espresso bar set up indoors at an office or venue?
Almost always. Latte'Da's setup is electric, fume-free, and ventless, which makes it a good fit for lobbies, ballrooms, conference rooms, and community centers. For indoor service you'll need:
- One 110V outlet within 50 feet
- A 6' × 4' footprint
- An access route. A loading dock is preferred but not required, and the setup fits through a standard elevator.
Because there's no generator, there's no engine noise competing with toasts, speeches, or the playlist. Here's more on why generator-free coffee catering matters.
Should I host a morning, afternoon, or evening coffee bar?
It depends on the kind of party you're planning:
- Morning holiday breakfast. Pair the espresso bar with breakfast confections like warm butter croissants, chocolate croissants, bacon egg bites, seasonal danishes, and cinnamon-sugar mini donuts. This is a great format for teams that want to celebrate during work hours.
- Afternoon appreciation break. A 2-hour coffee bar in the middle of the day gives everyone a reset during a busy December week.
- Evening party or open house. Pair espresso drinks with the Italian Dessert Bar, with tiramisu, Sicilian-style ricotta cheesecake, and affogato pulled the moment it's served. Smaller curated dessert trios are available for corporate meetings and intimate dinners, and larger 6 to 8 item spreads are popular for groups of 50 to 250 guests.
How many guests can a holiday coffee bar serve?
The corporate coffee catering setup serves 50 to 500 guests with two trained baristas. For groups over 200, we recommend adding a drip coffee station alongside the espresso bar to keep the line moving.
If you're planning a public-facing event, such as a holiday market, a neighborhood open house, or a fundraiser where guests buy their own drinks, our cash bar booking is the simpler option. A $75 non-refundable reservation fee secures your date, there's no catering deposit or per-guest fee, and guests pay per drink at the bar. Cash bar events need a minimum of 20 expected guests.
How much does holiday party coffee catering cost?
Corporate and hosted events are priced on a flat hourly rate with a 2-hour minimum. Your exact quote depends on guest count, venue location, and event type. Travel fees apply for events more than 30 minutes from Denver, and any mileage costs are discussed upfront.
The fastest way to see real numbers is to start a quote on the booking page. The online booking takes about five minutes. For a deeper look, read our coffee catering cost per guest breakdown.
Repeat corporate clients can use net-30 invoicing after the first booking, and recurring monthly office visits get a flat discounted rate. That's useful if your holiday party turns into a monthly coffee tradition.

When should I book a holiday party coffee bar?
As early as you can. Fall and winter bookings are already filling. If you want branded cup sleeves or menus, plan for at least four weeks of lead time, which means booking by mid-November for most December events.
A simple timeline:
- Now to early November. Pick your date, estimate your guest count, and reserve online.
- Four weeks out. Send logo files for branded sleeves or menus and confirm your drink lineup.
- One to two weeks out. Confirm the outlet location, building access, parking, and any dietary needs.
- Party day. We arrive early, coordinate the best access point, set up in about 30 minutes, and pour for as long as you've booked.
