Our Story

I could not, for the life of me, think of a name for this cart. I wanted it to be unique but still mean something to me. One day I was thinking about a story my mom told me about the bar she grew up across the street from, and it just came naturally after that. Growing up in Italy, my mom and her family lived across the street from the beach, and Bar Mambo. I always heard the best memories that originated there, and I know that this was a place my family was very fond of. Our logo is inspired by a picture of my Nonno Franco and a friend of his playing cards, probably scopa to be precise, on the beach at Bar Mambo.

In his later years, my Nonno lived for his morning and afternoon coffees. I remember him waking up from his daily nap and going to turn the espresso machine on- every day, like clockwork. Just like him, I have a routine every day at work, going in and not being able to start my job until I have a coffee.

I believe coffee should be enjoyed any time of the day, which is why I decided to open a cart; so I could bring coffee to anyone, anywhere, anytime.
