About Me.

 

I formed BitterSweet Curious Coffee in 2012 as a new quirky way of selling top quality tea & coffee made to suit the individual anywhere anytime! 

 

Where the idea came from.... 

 

After around 7 years of working in the mainstream coffee chains I noticed first-hand how the quality and service was slipping and found myself going to independent coffee shops and carts for a better cup of coffee! 

I always wanted to run my own coffee shop so I could do things the right way. Therefore I decided to make my own mobile coffee wagon. Rather than selling coffee from an Italian mass produced coffee cart I decided I wanted to do something different. I wanted an English coffee cart selling not only fantastic coffee but also tea and cakes with a classic retro English twist. I have always been into the styles of the 1950's and wanted to be able to incorporate this into my business. So I then wondered what a 1950's English coffee car would be like.... then it came to me, it doesn't get any more quintessentially English than a Morris Minor Traveller! (her name is Ruby!) 

 

Starting the business..... 

 

I managed to find a fine Traveller locally and she was ready to go other than working out how to convert her to make coffee! After a lot of research I managed to source all the equipment I needed and by removing the back seats Ruby was just the right size to fit everything in! I had a little help from my husband doing the fitting out and my electrician friend Ben from ELECtek Services who wired and tested all of my equipment into my car. I then had Ruby inspected by Breckland Council who awarded me with a 5 star food hygiene rating certificate! I was then ready to hit the road and start selling coffee with my own curious twist! 

 

The road ahead.... 

 

I’m now doing a range of different events and markets ranging from farmers markets, festivals, local town markets and i also cater for weddings, parties and all other events. I can tailor my business to your own specifications, including speciality drinks, colour themes, cakes and any other wishes you may have designed around your theme and to your taste. I have also got a yummy chocolate range aswell, including 'Infusion Bars' Which are made from the finest belgium chocolate infused with Loose Leaf Tea or Coffee. For all flavours have a look at the treats page!

So next time you want something just a little bit different at your event just give me a call!
