Ardente Winery

Since 1978, Mr. Espresso has hand-roasted Italian-style coffee and provided coffee and espresso machines to premier gourmet restaurants, cafes and hotels. Mr. Espresso has developed a loyal following among the fine restaurants and cafes of the Bay Area over the past 20 years. Chez Panisse, Lark Creek Inn, Oliveto, Il Fornaio Restaurants - these premier establishments and many others have discovered the smooth, full-bodied flavor of our coffee. To appreciate the quality for yourself, you may contact us at any time to set up a tasting in our Oakland showroom.


To achieve its signature smooth and complex flavor, Mr. Espresso roasts its coffee in vintage roasting machines fueling them with oak wood. Unlike many other coffee roasters, Mr. Espresso blends beans only after each varietal has been roasted individually and brought to its fullest flavor.


Besides our wide selection of coffees, Mr. Espresso also sells a wide range of espresso equipment. Please note that we offer a wider selection of wholesale coffees than our retail selection and are always happy to work with our wholesale customers on custom blends.


Mr. Espresso is individually-owned and operated.
