The Snowman Latte with Vanilla sweet cream
Emily P.

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
Susie G.

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
Sharon R.

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

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!

It had great flavors and was absolutely massive! The biscuit and chicken were more overcooked than my liking but it was still tasty. I love that this place has a parking lot along with ample indoor and outdoor seating. It's worth stopping in if you're in the area!

"Coffee lounge" sounds like insufferable marketing buzz, but it would actually fit this place fairly well. It also helps that the baristas here are friendly and the coffee, if not spectacular, is solid. They offer coffees, teas, refreshers, and a small selection of baked goods. While a few of the seasonal drinks looked enticing, I ultimately went with an iced salted caramel toffee crunch latte. It definitely ran sweet - I'll ask them to tone it down for future orders - but it made for a smooth sip and a welcome jolt. While you can practically trip and fall into a decent coffee shop in Winston-Salem, Melrose's look and feel help it stand out.

Advertised that you can rent the space for events. Very simple coffee menu and they have a small ramen bar. The barista greeted us loudly when we walked in which was good because we did not see him until we were halfway into the shop. Super friendly guy. I ordered their Carmel toffee crunch latte and my husband ordered their cold brew. The barista explained it's more like an Americano which was perfect for my husband (if you've read my coffee reviews you know my husband drinks his coffee black). Our drinks were made quickly while we looked around and after we received them we took them to go. Both drinks were very well made. Latte wasn't overly sweet and husband said it was a good Americano. We will return to try some of their other menu items.

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.
