In recent years coffee has undoubtedly evolved from a cup of basic black coffee to an endless array of creative mixes and add ons. Like the products, companies have been changing too, with the success of coffee trucks such as The Roaming Bean and Latte Lane.
The idea itself is genius. Being more cost efficient and adaptable than a regular coffee shop sets these mobile businesses apart. Additionally, the concept caters to the more modern market of fun and unique customizable lattes, cold brews, and treats.
The Roaming Bean moves from place to place, making their coffees perfect to catch for an occasional treat. The Roaming Bean visits farmers markets, parks, hospitals, private bookings, and even some Baldwin events and football games.
The Roaming Bean has a constantly changing menu based on the season. However, the best specialty coffees they’ve had to offer have been the waffle cone latte – topped with actual waffle cone pieces – and tiramisu latte, featuring a lady finger cookie garnish.
The ever-changing menu displays creativity that appeals to all different tastes.
The exclusivity of constantly being on the move, the unique menu, and the exposure of different audiences makes their coffee all the more appealing.
Latte Lane is another coffee truck standout. They offer sweet specialty drinks side by side with classic espresso drinks for those who prefer a little less sugar.
They differ from many traditional coffee shops as they also offer energy drinks, cream sodas, an array of bagels and sandwiches.
Latte Lane stands out with its themed drinks, a few of which were inspired by Taylor Swift: the “Miss Americana” Dragon Fruit, “Bejeweled” Peach-Glitter, and “Lover” Watermelon-Coconut energy drinks.
The fun concept drinks and customizable options draw in customers and make for a unique experience.
Overall, coffee trucks are a fun way to try new coffees and drinks while supporting small businesses.
