In need of some cash I headed to the nearest local ATM - only to find that the entire bank had moved! As I walked back to my car I noticed this across the street:
My curiosity piqued, I drove across the street, and lo' and behold it was a real, running, operating trolley-coffee shop on wheels - called San Diego Trolley Stop Coffee! Naturally, I had to stop and have a cup. Today, the trolley was less busy, so I was able to ask John (the owner) a few questions which he happily answered; yes, he did buy the trolley and converted it to a Coffee Cart on Wheels, it took him about 9 months (6 months full-time) to complete the conversion. Yes, it does run, and yes, that is a coffee "degree" from The Seattle Barista Academy!!! So John actually went to school to learn how to make coffee.
Located in the same mall as Save-On on Sandrock Rd in Serra Mesa, John makes a good cup a' Joe. You may want to drop by and ogle the Trolley. And based on his Certification, John probably makes a mean latte as well!
Hey Kirk,
Wow! This looks cool. Kind of reminds me of the lunchwagons we have here. Sadly, they've been disappearing too quickly. I can't find some of my favorites anymore. =(
