Quality and service are def 5 stars, but this luxury service is a bit pricey. If you're having a party and you have some extra budget, this espresso service will sure wow your guests if your guests are coffee connoisseurs. Perfect for corporate parties.

I hired Eurobar to serve specialty coffee drinks to my commercial tenant for an appreciation event. It couldn't have gone smoother. They were all set up before I came in to check on them, the gentleman who was making the drinks interacted with the employees and was very friendly. The drinks were delicious, and I have already received many compliments and gratitude. The event ended just two hours ago! I will definitely be calling them again, and would highly recommend them to anyone!

Terrific service and fantastic espresso! I've been to a few events where Eurobar was one of the vendors and i truly enjoyed the quality of their espresso and the friendly service. Their display is elegant and tasteful, they use a classic/vintage espresso machine which is a beauty. The coffee menu offers all the espresso staples with a variety of flavored syrups.

I have attended at least 6 events where the coffee was catered by EuroBar and I could not wait to finish the appetizers, desserts and what not to go and get my cappuccino or my espresso. I like the pretty vintage looking machine they use and the service is fast, cordial and.well, the coffee speaks for itself. I tend to repeat a cup or two. I am so happy I can sleep not matter how much caffeine I put into my system!

We recently used Eurobar for their gourmet coffee, tea, and pastry service for a corporate event. Communication with Melissa was quick and professional. She answered all of our questions promptly (and we had a lot of them!) and met all of our requests. We needed set up in 2 different locations, and Eurobar had no issues doing this. They arrived on time (maybe even early) and had everything set up and ready to go at the requested time.

Everyone really enjoyed everything they offered. There was a nice selection of coffee and teas (which you could also ask for stronger or weaker, with soy milk, etc.). The pastries were very good too; I really enjoyed the scones. (See my photos of the set up in one of our locations.) Since there is only one person working the espresso machine, the line can build up, but Eurobar was quick to get through everyone's orders. (We had about 200 people.) Overall, Eurobar met all of our needs and was a great experience. Pricing was very reasonable and I'd definitely recommend their services!

We had the opportunity to work with Eurobar for our son's bar-mitzvah. We thought it would be a great addition for the evening. We had no idea how popular it would be. Our guests were lining up all night long enjoying every kind of "fru fru" coffee drink imaginable. The staff was attentive and friendly and the guests all thanked us for the treat. We have one more bar-mitzvah to go and we will definitely be calling on Eurobar again to help.
