  • I do events for my company, we initially hired them for 1 appreciation event and I have never had so many co-workers compliment and rave about the service and their drinks! So much so, that we decided to have them come every other month for all of last year and we're doing it again this year!!

  • You absolutely made our wedding an unforgettable event. You were so easy to coordinate with even though our wedding was far outside the cities and delivered amazing coffees and affogatos. Every guest raved about your amazing coffee…

  • Nathan was an absolutely phenomenal barista at my daughter's grad party. He was great with everyone, but especially great with the little kids. His drinks were creative and so tasty. I was told by family it was worth every penny and made our party a success.

Okay, just WOW! What an amazing job the two baristas did at our event! I was so impressed with how fast, friendly and professional they were. Drinks were fantastic and Jonathan was so easy to work with to get it all set up. BRAVO!

Jenny Zechmeister

Private Event

We had Gondolier provide a custom barista offering for an afternoon baby shower attended by 30-35 people at my home. It was perfect and a great hit with our guests. I highly recommend and would definitely use them again!

Nate was so awesome! We brought Gondolier in as part of a corporate event. Coffee options were great, drinks were delicious, service was fantastic. Nate was so personable!!

Natalie Bynum

Corporate Event

Nathan was amazing and worked wonderfully quick, while maintaining an extreme level of quality. Coffee tasted fantastically, even though it was perhaps his 300th+ coffee of the night. The professionalism and quality is unmatched.

I can't say enough good about Gondolier Coffee! Jasmine was a wonderful, professional, cheerful, engaging barista. She fit right into the fun vibe of our graduation celebration. The coffee and beverages were a hit with everyone!

Graduation Celebration

Had them on site at a baptism. Solid baristas and a life giving Cappuccino. Their set up was clean, elegant, with modern equipment. Even had a custom scrim to put on top of each drink. Was great!
