So imagine my surprise when we happened to drive by this little coffee trailer on the side of the road in Mabou! It became infinitely better when we met the friendly lady inside the trailer.

They offer hot and cold espresso drinks, tea, hot chocolate, etc. They also offer several food items like muffins, croissants, brownies and cookie sandwiches! I ordered a 12 oz pumpkin pie latte with oat milk, and it was delicious! One of the best I've had on our trip! Their sign says that they're open from 8am - 3pm, Wed. - Sun. Definitely check them out if you're in the area!
