KICKSTAND COFFEE
It seems most baristas in the specialty coffee world – at least the ones I’ve come across – seem to have a love for bicycles, sustainable lifestyle, and ofcourse, coffee. Kickstand coffee, based out of Brooklyn combines all three in their brilliant business model. They operate out of two custom-built carts transported by bicycles that join together to form a make shift coffee stand. This kind of operation is possible in part because of their simple menu: hot, made-to-order pour-over coffee, and cold, cold-brew coffee. Having just gotten into pour-overs myself, I was very excited to come across kickstand coffee and their operation. Just one more reason for my longing to visit New York.

i don’t see why not?
as of right now the city of vancouver only grants licenses for hotdog vendors, but i’ve heard that they’re in the process of changing that. once the legal issues are out of the way i’m sure this could work very well. i can see something like this at kits beach or english bay for sure.
