Wow, we are on our second week of operation! We are doing well thus far. Great reviews on our coffee. Our coffee is specially blended for us and is delicious! We opened with a fundraiser and had free coffee while accepting donations for the local food pantry. We thought it would be an excellent opportunity to "practice". We then opened the same evening in a parking lot where high school football spectators parked. We have had a great reception and the community have been very welcoming. You can see us on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/JakesCoffee

Congrats! Wishing you ongoing, HUGE success. Hate the taste of coffee but love the smell. I'll bet your truck smells GOOD! Joey

Patty,
Happy to see that you are off and running and doing well! I wish you continued success. I'm with Joey- Ive actually NEVER had a cup of coffee in my life- I am a tea drinker. I do love the smell of it though!
Keep us posted.
Congratulations on taking the leap and starting your own business!
Hugs,
~Laurie

Business is great! We have been operating the truck almost 3 months. We park it at the same location every day (in a small shopping center parking lot). The property managers contacted us about a "coffee hut" in a city about 30 miles away. They asked us if we had any interest in leasing the hut for our coffee business. So here we go again! 16 hour days will not be ending soon. Hopefully, the hut will be opening this week. New signs are up, it is stocked and almost ready. :) We are so excited! Running on adrenalin!
