My First Coffee Catering Event With À LA MODE COFFEE: A Nervous Start, a Vehicle Full of Gear, and an Unforgettable Day
Stepping into my very first coffee-catering event as À LA MODE COFFEE was a moment I’ll never forget. As excited as I was, I’ll be honest—I was a little nervous. I didn’t want to disappoint anyone. I wanted every cup, every interaction, and every detail to reflect the standard of quality that À LA MODE COFFEE stands for.
But that nervous energy quickly transformed into motivation. This wasn’t just an event; it was the first real step into turning my dream of a premium mobile espresso bar in Orlando into reality.
Packing vehicle: My Mobile Coffee Setup
The day started early. I loaded my vehicle with everything needed to build a full espresso bar on the go—espresso machine, grinder, fresh beans, milks, syrups, cups, napkins, and all the little details that make a coffee service feel polished and professional.
My Tesla looked more like a high-end coffee cargo vehicle than a car, and honestly? I loved every second of it.
This is what mobile coffee catering is all about—being prepared, being creative, and bringing an exceptional coffee experience anywhere you go.

Arriving at the Event: The Moment It Became Real
When I arrived and started setting up, that nervous feeling came back for just a moment. This was it. My first official event as À LA MODE COFFEE.
But as soon as the espresso machine heated up and I pulled my first shot, everything clicked.
I was exactly where I was meant to be.
Guests began approaching the bar, curious and excited. And then it happened—the first smile, the first “Wow, this is delicious,” the first moment that reminded me why I started this.
Serving Exceptional Coffee & Creating Memorable Moments
Cup after cup, the energy grew.
People weren’t just grabbing coffee—they were stopping to talk, to savor the flavors, to compliment the quality.
The most common reactions?
“This is amazing!”
“Your setup is beautiful!”
“We’ve never seen coffee served like this before.”
Every compliment meant the world, especially on my first day. It confirmed that all the hard work, the preparation, and even the nerves were worth it.
By the end of the event, everyone was amazed by À LA MODE COFFEE—not just by how the cart looked, but by the rich taste, the smooth espresso, and the professional service.
What This First Experience Taught Me
That first event was more than a milestone. It was the beginning of what À LA MODE COFFEE is becoming:
✔ A luxury mobile espresso bar
✔ A unique coffee catering service in Orlando
✔ A memorable experience people love to talk about
I learned that a little nervousness is natural—but passion, preparation, and heart always win. I also learned that high-quality coffee really does bring people together.
