Craftsmanship
Composed one shot at a time.
Every drink begins with calibrated extraction on La Marzocco equipment — weighed, timed, and dialed for each setting. Milk is steamed to silk; cold foams are aerated to order.
Levantine olive oil. Madagascar vanilla bean paste. Heritage pistachios. Each component is selected for provenance, then assembled with the precision your guests can taste.

The Guest Experience
A quiet moment your guests remember.
The cart becomes its own room within the room. Guests gather, conversations soften, and each drink is handed across the bar as a gesture — not a transaction.
Branded cup. Considered pour. A signature your guests will tag, screenshot, and remember long after the last toast.
In Their Words
Trusted across weddings, private gatherings, and corporate events throughout Chicagoland.
I
Weddings & Private Gatherings
Citrus & Olive was truly one of the most special and memorable parts of my nikkah day. Our guests loved the espresso bar — it created such a warm, inviting space for everyone to gather. It honestly became a highlight of the event.
The coffee cart was such a hit at my daughter’s birthday. It added such a fun and special touch to our event — our guests absolutely loved it.
II
Corporate & Professional Events
The espresso bar added a level of polish that went far beyond standard coffee catering. Efficient, detail-oriented, and aligned with high standards of hospitality. I would confidently recommend Citrus & Olive for corporate events and executive meetings.
Flexible setup anywhere, a seamless and polished look, more guest interaction — and it keeps guests energized and engaged.

Coffee & Craftsmanship
Simply the best cappuccino I had in my years of addiction.
By far some of the best coffee we have ever had.
High quality coffee for real connoisseurs.
