What got you interested in the catering industry and what is
the most rewarding part of your job?
We love coffee so much that we wanted to bring it to the general public
as an elegant beverage option for catered events.
The most rewarding part of this job is the people we meet.
What’s special about catering for weddings? What is your favorite part about catering for weddings?
You just know that
this is the “moment” and the Bride and Groom’s special day. Love the fact that the espresso bar
becomes a social center for guests.
How would you describe the Eurobar experience?
We’ve done weddings
where the Bride and Groom met at a coffee bar and the entire wedding is based
around our services, the authentic experience we bring and the high-quality
selection of gourmet espresso café drinks. There is no one else in San Diego that has the knowledge and
experience in the coffee and event industry business that Eurobar has.
Name one thing that sets Eurobar apart from its competitors:
Sophistication
