Espresso Catering & Coffee Shop

A Lot of Light in a Little Cup™

Since 2019, The Coffee Cart San Diego has brought joy, warmth, and expertly crafted espresso to corporate events and gatherings across San Diego. In 2022, we expanded into brick-and-mortar with the opening of our first specialty coffee shop in the heart of San Diego’s biotech hub, Sorrento Valley, now home to The Coffee Cart Café.

Founder Marcela Estrop, a Mexico City native raised in the Bay Area, brings over two decades of corporate sales experience to her work. A UC San Diego alumna, Marcela credits her company’s success to her faith, professionalism & resilience which she believes is in engrained in her spirit as a Latina business owner. Despite opening just before the pandemic, The Coffee Cart San Diego has grown steadily, powered by strong client relationships, exceptional coffee, and a reputation for thoughtful, reliable service.
