Our fleet of specialty vehicles includes 2 vintage pedal-powered coffee trikes, 1 unique Prosecco trike, 1 beautiful Ice Cream trike and an electric coffee tuk-tuk. All our vehicles are all fully customisable so our clients can choose the style or message they’d like to have for their service!
All our set ups are available to hire for events and promotions of all kinds throughout the UK, and their eye-catching appearance and flexibility (not to mention our top-quality service) means that we have traveled to provide drinks at events throughout the UK and even overseas.
And when not at events, we are busy serving from our range of vehicles and bars every day keeping the good folk of Cardiff fully caffeinated. You can find us in Bute Park, by Blackweir bridge and we also have permanent outlets at Central Station (South entrance) and Heath Park West Cardiff University Ty’r Wyddfa building providing freshly brewed coffee every weekday.
