    Honey vanilla maple coffee
    Paul P.

    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.

    The Snowman Latte with Vanilla sweet cream

    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!

    My favorite coffee trailer!!! I love that they have their everyday menu, the black sugar shaken espresso is just the best classic latte ever + they do fun seasonal drinks! I recently had the banana bread chai latte and it's so unique I loved it so much!!! I always ask for my drinks slightly less sweet and they come out perfectly. Follow them on IG to see where they're located each week or visit their permanent spot off Robinhood rd in the Ace Hardware parking lot

    Cracked Cadbury Egg iced latte

    The Struggle Bus has knocked it out of the park with the Cracked Cadbury Egg Latte. Run get you one while you can. Hazelnut Mocha latte with caramel, topped with a mini Cadbury egg. A bit 'o heaven in a cup. Available hot, iced or frozen. I also purchased a lemon lavender cookie sandwich that was delicious. Super fresh, cookie perfect combo of crunchewy, and just the right amount of yummy filling with real blueberries. A winner!

    Black sugar shaken espresso - half sweet!

    LOVE THIS COFFEE!! Black sugar shaken espresso is fire. Great coffee for a great price. Maybe they can find a more ambient place to park but honestly doesn't matter. So good!!

    Coffee Truck
    William H.

    This coffee truck has a great selection of drinks, not just coffee. I get something different every time and have never been disappointed. The workers are always friendly and quick to make your drink. It's set up in the parking lot of a strip mall and has a nice cozy area with bench tables to sit and enjoy your drink in the fresh air. Stop by, they even have a drive up window on the other side of the truck!

    Iced latte

    Very tasty & a great variety of drink options. Prices were reasonable as well. I got a iced latte with sugar-free hazelnut. Husband got a Mexican hot chocolate & really liked it.

    I can't explain my excitement when I saw the struggle bus serving up drinks outside of the Y last week. I'm gonna have to make it a new tradition on Tuesdays so I can get some deliciousness in a cup to start my day off on the right foot. Next up is trying their extensive list of hot chocolates

    This is the second time I have been to the struggle bus. This time I got an iced mocha struggleccino. It was great! Employees are always friendly and helpful. They also have baked goodies which I will try next time. They are there every Thursday. I will definitely be back.

    I have tried so many coffee spots around the Triad, and the Struggle Bus is always tried and true! They travel around and have a different schedule each week, but I make it a point to swing by whenever it aligns with my schedule! They have unique and exciting seasonal drinks, along with the classic coffee beverages and yummy pastries. The service is always super friendly, and I've never had a bad drink here!

    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

Every corner is beautifully decorated, and the whole place smells absolutely heavenly. I enjoyed the Blood Orange Bliss, which was delicious--but honestly, I don't think you could order a bad drink here!

Today, I went to Oasis at the Mill for a delicious Velvet Fog chaga- & kava-infused drink. I also booked a Vibro-Acoustic Therapy session for the first time! I was asked what I was feeling to experience energetically out of the various programs available and I chose "Release". I didn't know what to expect and it turned out to be quite profound and healing on many levels so I want to share my experience. I was taken to a beautiful dark teal room with Tibetan prayer flags overhead...tranquil and inviting. I put on some padded headphones while the program was being initiated, and made myself comfortable on my back on an ergonomically sculpted bed. Resonant music came through the headphones as the bed began to vibrate and undulate, my back and legs receiving a massage-like experience as my entire body felt the resonance of sound healing. My first impression was feeling I was a garden being tilled...old stagnant energy was being lifted and shaken and I felt a renewed energy pouring through me. In time, I connected my experience with the elements, grounding energy of Earth, sinking and flowing as Water, lifting and moving in spirals as Air, and the warmth and blaze of Fire...as these blended into Spirit I began to journey and fell into what felt like a sleep state. I came out of the sleep state as the resonance shifted, and it gently brought me to stillness over several minutes, softening and slowing until the program ended. I felt refreshed and renewed and was already deciding that "Oh, I have to do this on a regular basis!" And, the fact that there are programs to access many energetic states is so exciting! I can say from the bottom of my freshly renewed heart, DO try this new healing opportunity at Oasis at the Mill! It is truly extraordinary!

Such a artsy and definitely industrial kinda place. Outside seating which was lovely on a nice cooler morning when we went, there were a lot of people working or meeting others . There's a lot of space inside also they have a covered patio area inside. They have a a great menu of all house made biscuits and biscuit sandwiches. Also sweet treats. Which all look amazingly delicious and very hard to decide what to get. I got a cappuccino and a biscuit with jam. Which was nice and warm and buttery, the jam is also house made and really good smeared in the biscuit. I wish they had skim milk, but they only offer oat and whole. So I had oat and had a really nice coffee! My friend had a cold brew and the espresso cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll was picture beautiful! I tried it and it was really good except neither of us could detect any espresso! Still really good regardless! Enjoyed eating, drinking and chatting here. Great cool unique place!

From the moment you walk in, the vibe is cool and welcoming, with plenty of comfortable seating both indoors and out. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. And the baked goods? There were so many incredible-looking options that I already know we'll have to come back and work our way through the menu. But that cinnamon roll stole the show. It was warm, soft, and perfectly chewy, with just the right amount of icing. Sweet enough to be delicious without being overly sweet. We'll absolutely be making this a regular stop every time we pass through Winston-Salem. If you're anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and stop in. And get the cinnamon roll.

I ordered the traditional cinnamon roll and a sea salt chocolate chip cookie. The cinnamon roll had really good flavor, especially the frosting and dough, and I thought the cinnamon-to-roll ratio was perfect. It was served slightly warm, but I did find the roll to be a little dry. The cookie, however, was easily my favorite. The combination of chocolate chips and sea salt was so good that I would honestly go back for a dozen cookies before getting another cinnamon roll. The customer service was pretty standard and not particularly personable, but the food was the main reason I stopped in. Overall, I enjoyed trying the spot, and that cookie definitely gave me a reason to come back.
