When New York–based luxury brands come to Dallas, they know who to call.
For its largest experiential activation of the year, AERIN partnered with Nightowl Coffee, the leading DFW coffee catering brand, to deliver an unforgettable, high-touch guest experience in the heart of NorthPark Center—one of the most iconic luxury shopping destinations in the country.
This wasn’t just a coffee break. It was a full-scale brand immersion—executed with precision, beauty, and intention.
☕ Espresso Catering Designed to Stop Foot Traffic in Its Tracks
AERIN set out to “make a splash.” Instead, they cannonballed into the spotlight, creating a high-traffic sensory experience for thousands of guests over 3 days.
At the center of the activation stood a custom-designed espresso bar, operated by Nightowl’s Dallas-based coffee cart team, featuring:
- A custom linen awning evoking European café elegance
- Neutral palettes and gold accents aligned perfectly with AERIN’s brand DNA
- A seamless blend of luxury retail aesthetics + mobile barista stations
This is where espresso catering becomes experiential design—not just a service, but a statement.

🌸 A Menu That Told a Story (And Sold a Feeling)
Every drink was crafted to mirror AERIN’s warm fall fragrance notes, turning coffee into a sensory extension of the campaign. The curated menu included:
- Vanilla Lattes — smooth, comforting, universally loved
- Rose Hot Cocoa — elevated with edible rose petals for visual and aromatic impact
Each cup became a shareable moment, fueling organic brand exposure, social media buzz, and longer dwell time inside the activation footprint.
This is the power of coffee catering as brand storytelling.
