The Struggle Bus didn't just become my favorite coffee shop it ended my relationship with every other coffee shop. Starbucks and Dunkin we had a good run, but it's over The Caramel Macchiato is absolutely dangerous. It's hands down the best I've ever had. Sweet, smooth, and somehow perfect every single time. But let me issue a public service announcement: do not underestimate the espresso. That drink doesn't wake you up... it launches you into another dimension. You'll leave thinking you can reorganize your garage, wash your car, start a business, and solve world peace before lunch. The staff is always friendly, the drinks are consistently amazing, and you can tell they actually care about what they're serving. If you've been struggling to find a great coffee shop, congratulations you've reached your final stop. The Struggle Bus is worth every penny. Just don't blame them if you're still wide awake at midnight planning your next home renovation project after one of those Caramel Macchiatos! read more

The Struggle Bus - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

If you're in Winston-Salem and you don't stop at The Struggle Bus Coffee truck at least once, you're missing the whole vibe!!! Here's the thing. This isn't just a coffee stop. It's an experience worth getting out of bed for. I stumbled across The Struggle Bus while visiting North Carolina for the very first time, scoping out properties and trying to get a feel for the area. And honestly? This was the kind of unexpected gem that makes you seriously consider relocating. First off, the energy is unmatched. The owner Zac is responsive, friendly, and inviting. J-Michael is the kind of team member who makes you feel like a regular within 30 seconds. He's warm, genuine, welcoming, and just the right amount of hype to kickstart your day. Now let's talk drinks, because they are NOT playing around!!! I had The black sugar shaken espresso ( Smooth, bold, and perfectly balanced with that deep caramelized sweetness.) I also tried the honey maple vanilla iced oat milk latte. ( familiar comfort in a cup. Subtly sweet, layered, and dangerously easy to drink.) And the real standout: their handmade vanilla sweet cream cold foam. This isn't your standard topping. it's thick, velvety, and crafted in-house, which you don't see often at mobile coffee setups. That alone sets them apart. I will definitely be back again before I leave on Thursday because I have to try thier lemonade! read more

If you are in the Winston-Salem area and craving coffee, I recommend checking out The Struggle Bus. This local small business offers everything from drip coffee, cappuccinos, hot cocoa, frappes, to specialty lemonades and lattes. They are a mobile coffee shop with walk-up and drive-thru ordering options, as well as patio seating to enjoy your beverage. This month's specialty offerings include a variety of hot chocolates: salted caramel, s'more's cotton candy, Mexican, and raspberry cream white chocolate. Additionally, they are offering a topless raspberry tease: a raspberry white chocolate latte with a raspberry-muffin-flavored cold foam, topped with a raspberry heart. This drink is available as an iced or hot latte as well as a frappe. I purchased the topless raspberry tease iced latte and would highly recommend this drink. The flavor was phenomenal. It tasted like a raspberry crumb muffin, and the raspberry heart was adorable. read more

This coffee was GREAT! The flavors all came through but at the same time didn't overshadow the taste of the espresso. The sweetness level was just right and the oat milk was smooth. The size options are great too. My coffee was the "Big Boy" size. It was very large, but who doesn't love a huge coffee?? Definitely recommend this coffee truck. They have a make shift drive through area which I thought was really cool for a food truck style place. The patio has a few tables to sit at. The workers were really nice and had great suggestions. read more

After I took my first sip of The Struggle Bus' Snowman Latte, I knew it would become my new obsession. Yum yum yum!!!! Like absolutely delicious! The Struggle Bus was a venue at the Winston-Salem Mistletoe Run, and it was the perfect way to end a race on a chilly December day. The owner was taking orders, and he was so friendly. He was transparent about the long wait time for making my drink, and I told him that I would be waiting around to try his coffee. I am so happy that I did. Go here!!! I want more! read more

I'm not much of a coffee person but decided today to get some, I am glad I did! The guy working named Jacob was swamped with drive through and walk ups, but he handled everything perfectly! It wasn't a wait at all, the drive through was going at the same pace, definitely a solid place to stop before a work day. 10/10! Now I think I'll be getting coffee way more often, especially on cold mornings read more
