Derry’s new Coffee truck brewing up a storm in Springtown

Things were slow to start but business is picking up now and 25 years old James is delighted that his hard work is starting to pay off.

He said: “I’ve done everything myself to get this started, I bought the van and painted it as well as getting some plants around the front to make it look nice. I’m so proud of it and I just love coming to work every day and chatting to people, serving them and making new friends.

“Once we got set up, Cyril in Springrowth Garden Centre asked us to come along and add to the garden centre so people can get a coffee to enjoy as they take a walk around the garden centre and really make a day of it. We were originally to come on a Saturday but we decided to come permanently then because we love it here and we have some regular costumers too. We’re really picking up now, we have coffee and all the low calorie things, we have a gym across the way so we try to cater for them. We have low fat syrups, alternative plant based milks or if you’re bring your dog for a walk, call in and get a ‘puppuccino’ for the dog. We have something for everyone.

“I make all the sandwiches, toasties and traybakes myself, which can be a lot sometimes but I really love it and want to work hard for my business to succeed so I put my heart and soul into everything for the van.”
