FINE ESPRESSO CATERING & CAFÉ
A LOT OF LIGHT IN A LITTLE CUP™
Coffee is a source of comfort and delight to millions of people around the world and The Coffee Cart San Diego has been dedicated to spreading this joy since 2019.
Despite opening just a few months before the pandemic, owner Marcela Estrop, was able to survive the global crisis and grow The Coffee Cart San Diego into a successful business. She attributes this to her faith, perseverance and resilience which she believes is engrained in her spirit as a Latina.
Marcela was born in Mexico City, but spent her formative years in the Bay Area. She moved to San Diego to attend UC San Diego for undergraduate and graduate school, and spent the following 25 years in corporate sales. Marcela believes professionalism, reliability and customer service are keys to success. Her ability to build lasting relationships with clients and her commitment to quality & flavor have made The Coffee Cart San Diego and most recently, The Coffee Cart Café a success.
In 2022, Marcela was invited to take over a café space in Sorrento Valley, the center of San Diego’s biotech community. The real-estate company Marcela had been catering espresso for was impressed with her company’s service and the quality of the coffee. They thought The Coffee Cart San Diego would be the perfect company to bring to life a much needed specialty coffee shop in the business park they owned.
On August 1, 2022 The Coffee Cart Café at SOVA opened its doors to the public. The café also specializes in espresso, but offers an extended menu including drip coffee, house made cold brew, a variety of organic teas including chai & matcha, house made syrups and vegan pastries by SPLIT Bakehouse. Like the catering operation, the café is dedicated to bringing forth a high quality coffee experience from start to finish and serving up a lot of light in every little cup sold.
