Coffee Truck Alternative

Looking for a Coffee Truck? Meet the Coffee Cart That Goes Where Trucks Can’t

A coffee truck needs a parking spot, clearance, a generator and a way for guests to find it. Our coffee cart rolls into the ballroom, the office lobby or the backyard, runs on its own battery system, and serves hot espresso-style coffee and iced lattes to every guest with a trained barista, in Orlando and anywhere in Florida.

Why hosts who search for a coffee truck end up booking a cart

The reason people look for a coffee truck is simple: they want good coffee served to their guests, where the guests are. A truck can only do that from the street or the parking lot. The cart does it from inside the room.

It needs about 8 ft by 4 ft of flat space and room for a short queue, and nothing else. No outlets, cords or generators, no engine noise or fumes next to your guests, no loading zone to clear with the venue. We set up quietly before service and break everything down afterwards.

The menu is what a good coffee truck would serve, done properly: a hot espresso-style coffee and an iced coffee for every guest, iced lattes such as classic, salted caramel and dark chocolate, alternative milks and decaf. Lattes are iced only, we don’t serve hot or steamed milk.

And because it is The Affogato Cart, the same cart can serve gelato and our signature Love Affogato alongside the coffee, which no coffee truck offers.

Your logo on the cart, your names on the cups

For a company event the cart’s side panel can carry your logo and the cups can match, so every coffee served is branded. For a wedding or a party, it is the couple’s names or the celebration on the cups instead.

Cup personalization is a flat $100 and cart personalization a flat $300, whatever your guest count. Choose it in the booking calculator at least 10 days before the event.

You also pick how the team dresses, formal or casual, so the cart matches the tone of the day.

We had the Affogato Cart at my sister-in-law’s 40th birthday party, and they were truly one of the highlights of the night! Our guests couldn’t stop talking about them and kept going back for more.

Coffee Truck Alternative: questions we hear most

More answers on our FAQ page.

Is this a coffee truck?

No. It is a mobile coffee cart, and that is why it works where a truck can’t: inside a ballroom, an office, a clubhouse or a backyard, with no parking, clearance or generator to arrange. The coffee is what you would hope for from a good truck, served by a trained barista.

Can the cart come indoors?

Yes. It needs about 8 ft by 4 ft of flat space and room for a short queue, and it runs on its own battery system, so there are no cords or outlets. Indoors is the easiest place for it.

Do you need power, water or a generator?

No. The cart is self-contained and runs on its own battery system. There is nothing to plug in and no generator noise or fumes next to your guests.

What coffee do you serve?

A hot espresso-style coffee and an iced coffee for every guest, with iced lattes such as classic, salted caramel and dark chocolate, alternative milks and decaf. Lattes are iced only; we don’t serve hot or steamed milk.

Can the cart be outdoors in the Florida heat?

Yes, under shelter: a tent, pergola or covered patio, whatever the forecast, because gelato and coffee equipment cannot sit in direct sun or rain. If temperatures are expected above 85°F we may be unable to serve outdoors at all, and a garage, lanai or indoor spot solves it. The cart runs on its own battery system, so it needs no power wherever it goes.

What if the event is only a few days away?

Dates within three days are not booked online. We would love to make it happen, but we need to check personally that our team is free, that the gelato can be made fresh in time and that the cart can reach you, so a quick call or text confirms everything in minutes.
