What is Emperia?
Emperia Coffee Co. began with a simple vision: to create meaningful experiences through coffee. Inspired by the Greek word “eperia,” meaning experiences, we wanted to build a place where people could connect over a great cup of coffee. A happy accident led to the misspelling of “eperia” as “Emperia,” but the new name quickly grew on us. Today, “Emperia” represents those unique moments and experiences we hope to bring to life.
Starting as a mobile coffee cart, we blend a touch of vintage charm with art deco and mid-century inspired accents. Our cart serves as a traveling café that offers more than just a drink—it’s a chance to connect, share stories, and create memories wherever we go.
Our core values are CONNECTION, KNOWLEDGE, INNOVATION, and QUALITY. We believe in the power of a great cup of coffee to brighten your day and foster community. Whether you’re here for a quick pick-me-up, a meeting with friends, or a moment to yourself, we strive to make every visit special. Welcome, where every sip tells a story.
