Memorable!!!

WOW!!! I can't express how cool it was to have you at our daughter's wedding this past weekend. You service was a smash hit with our Pittsburg cookie table. Your team member Dan was fantastic and took care of me straight away as Father of the Bride with a hand delivered coffee. Super, super job!!! Thanks again for being part of our day!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

Healthy, Safe Vendor during a pandemic

I had a small outdoor wedding in October 2020. I couldn't have imagined a better night without Top Hat Espresso! They ensured health and safety was the first thing on their minds, they were and extremely responsive vendor to work with, and they created a cozy, coffee filled environment for all of my guests. If you've thought about including coffee in your wedding, you MUST work with this company!

Fantastic addition to our wedding - kept the party going!

Our guests lined up out the door of the room to get espresso from Top Hat. Can't recommend enough, they were wonderful to work with and am so glad we splurged on this feature at our wedding.

Great Espresso and Gelato

What a wonderful way to make your wedding memorable. For our daughter's wedding, we hired Top Hat for an Espresso and Gelato bar. It was excellent and Tim was a pleasure to work with. He is an cafe artist. The Gelato is from the chef at gran caffe l'aquila in Philadelphia! Hire them for your next event.

Perfect addition to our wedding!

We could not be happier with the service we received from Top Hat for our wedding reception! They are easy and pleasant to work with from start to finish. Prompt emails, customizable options, friendly staff, and of course great product! Our guests are constantly giving us compliments about the coffee, drinks, and delicious gelato (which in my opinion is a must have!) They were a huge highlight of our wedding and dessert room. I would highly recommend Top Hat for any party or event and I plan to use them again in the future!

Love Top Hat Espresso

I experienced Top Hat Espresso at a wedding that my family's company was catering this past Spring 2019. WOW! 1. The two employees working were so kind, patient, and thoughtful. They managed the line of excited coffee fanatics like pros and were able to serve everyone their special drinks. 2. Their set up was awesome. I felt like I was at a mini coffee shop. They had all of the equipment needed to make the specialty drinks. They also had a nice menu listing what drinks were available. 3. Most importantly, my cappuccinos were amazing (Yes, I had two). They made it just how I asked. It tasted perfect and hit the spot for this coffee lover.

I loved the service and drinks so much that I reached out to Top Hat Espresso for my wedding.

100% worth every penny

Absolutely amazing! The barista who came to my wedding was THE NICEST person. Although making espresso beverages for 150 people can take some time, no one minded waiting in line because he was so nice and flexible. And don't get me started with the gelato. I didn't want cake at my wedding, so we had this instead, and it was 100% worth every penny. I wish I had another excuse to hire them, and I will recommend this company to every other engaged friend I know. I would highly suggest that you add the iced beverage option to your package, as that was a last minute decision that I made that turned out to be very popular among our guests.

A must-have addition to your wedding! The coffee bar was a guest favorite - numerous people thanked us for having the coffee bar and told us what a great addition it was. The caffeine helped keep our guests awake and on the dance floor, and it was great to have non-alcoholic drink options besides water and soda. I would DEFINITELY recommend you get a coffee bar for your wedding, and Top Hat Espresso is a great option :) YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY LOOK INTO THEM!

They were fantastic! My wife and I did some research and found that Top Hat Espresso seemed to be the perfect company to use for our wedding and we were right! I couldn't thank them enough. While we barely got to experience them due to our busy day, we were able to get a cup of coffee and it is the best coffee I've ever had. Everyone at our wedding spoke so highly of their service and the quality of the coffee as well. As far as catering, they were amazing. They came in and did exactly what we needed, and it helped us have a stress free wedding, knowing they knew what they were doing. When looking through pictures, I could see that they had an awesome presentation as well. And the most important part to me was how well organized they were and how pleasant they were to work with leading up to our wedding. Could not have asked for a better company to make our big day so special!!! A special thank you to Tim who was the man I spoke with the entire time and made this so smooth for us!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

We had the good fortune to call Top Hat Espresso Catering to attend to our personal event and could not be happier!! Two wonderful baristas made delicious espresso, cappuccino and other specialty coffees for our guests. They were a great addition to our party. We highly recommend them.
