Espresso After Dark: A Dessert Espresso Bar for Milwaukee Weddings and Events
Lattes are great at cocktail hour. But once the cake is cut and the lights go down, your guests want something that feels more like dessert. That's where Espresso After Dark comes in.
Espresso After Dark is an evening add-on to our espresso bar. When the night shifts gears, the menu does too, swapping everyday lattes for Italian-inspired espresso desserts your guests probably haven't had at a wedding or company party before. It's available at events across Milwaukee and Madison.
The Espresso After Dark menu
Caffè shakerato. Espresso shaken hard over ice until it's cold, silky, and topped with a layer of foam. It's the Italian answer to iced coffee, and it looks great in a guest's hand on the dance floor.
Affogato. A shot of hot espresso poured over a scoop of vanilla gelato, right in front of your guests. Half drink, half dessert, and impossible to resist.
Espresso con panna. A rich shot of espresso topped with a cloud of whipped cream. Small, strong, and perfect for the guest who wants a little something sweet without a full drink.
Tiramisu latte. All the flavors of the classic Italian dessert in a cup, finished with a dusting of cocoa. If you love tiramisu, this is the one.
When to book Espresso After Dark
Weddings. Open it right after the cake cutting, or bring it out as a late-night treat during the last hour of dancing. It gives guests a second wind and keeps the party going until the send-off.
Corporate evening events. Client dinners, award nights, and company galas all end with dessert. An affogato made to order beats a plated slice of cheesecake every time.
Holiday parties. A festive evening party is the perfect setting for an espresso dessert bar, especially in the middle of a Wisconsin winter.
Rehearsal dinners and engagement parties. Smaller, more intimate events are a great fit for a short, special menu that feels like the end of a really good Italian dinner.
How it works
Espresso After Dark is an add-on to our espresso bar, so you don't need to book a separate vendor. A typical night looks like this:
Early in the event, the espresso bar serves lattes, matcha, and seasonal drinks during cocktail hour or after dinner.
When dessert time hits, the menu switches over to Espresso After Dark.
Your guests get a second round of drinks that doubles as dessert, and the energy in the room picks back up.
Want to go all in on the Italian dessert theme? Pair Espresso After Dark with our tiramisu catering. Tiramisu cups alongside affogatos and tiramisu lattes make for a dessert table your guests will be talking about on the drive home.
