We need to convert the "ice-cream trucks" of my youth into drive by coffee shops... lol - except without the music, more like an app saying they're coming. Free business idea if anyone is listening. Put your order in on the phone.
I'm not a customer, but I would only consider it if they'd actually deliver fresh cream without any nitrous oxide at 3AM, to keep up the pretense that the N2O was actually intended for making late-night whipped cream.
But no, they brashly deliver incriminating accessories like balloons and "Slagroomspuit" dispensers. But no cream! Fuck that.
Maybe the sex industry can take up the slack. I don't care what costume the delivery person wears or how well they dance, I just want my fresh cream delivered 24/7!
We already have that where I live. It's an espresso machine in a van, they drive by offices in the morning and then stop and parks and other communal spots during lunch
Espresso trucks/vans seemed to be a big thing in the EU when I lived there, but don't seem to have much of a place in the US. Maybe it's due to the low walkability of the US and tendency to travel via car? Or maybe it's hard to get the licensing for it?
I have found coffee carts not uncommon in the US (midwest and california). I think aside from the michoacana guy, food trucks and carts in the US tend to stay put for a long period of time, and really, you don't need more than a cart that you pick up with a truck at the end of the morning. I've seen coffee carts post up at entrances to offices as well as along bike and walking trails.
This is everywhere in Australia. Coffee-and-sausage-roll carts towed behind an SUV from office to office in areas where somebody's stuck a bunch of office buildings in the burbs rather than the CBD.
There are coffee vans in Australia that park in school carparks (for parents to grab a coffee after drop-off, or teachers to get one on their way in) or near popular beach spots or tour through office areas at specific times.
