The Beginning

Our Story

Juljo's Espresso Catering was founded by Erika Valdez, who turned a lifelong passion for specialty coffee into a thriving mobile catering business. What started as a dream of sharing beautifully crafted espresso with her community quickly grew into something far greater.

Growing up surrounded by the warmth of family gatherings and the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee, Erika always knew that coffee was more than just a drink — it was a way to bring people together. With that vision in mind, she launched Juljo's Espresso Catering, named with love as a blend of family names that carry deep personal meaning.

From the very first event, Juljo's stood out — not just for the quality of its espresso, but for the heart and care put into every cup. Erika and her team show up to every event not just as caterers, but as partners in making your celebration unforgettable.
