Pleeeease make an UPDATE video!! This video has been super inspiring and helpful for me as an aspiring coffee shop owner.

“And I’m a pretty good dancer too” bless 🥺

Thank you for adding about confidence because honestly we are our own worst enemy. Also thank you for the tips and taking the time to make the video.

I love how real you are! I tend to dream higher than my budget so videos like this give me hope 💜😁

The reason why I love your video is because you are so real! Thank you for the great content! Best of luck to you!

love your unique kiwi humor. I would love to get served coffee by you.inspirinng.

Wow. This is amazing. I am starting my coffee cart soon.. So I guess we can have coffee cart chat😂. I can't wait to see updates on your journey. ❤

You're hilarious, super fun to watch and way informative! Thank you for the video. I'm gaining momentum to get on out there with a mobile cart. The biggest hurdle, finding a truck or cart. Oh and the confidence to do it. But this helped!! All the best to you!

Great job girl !! Thanks for the tips :) Love how real you were

This was so helpful!! Really has inspired me to stop putting it off, to save up and follow my dreams!! Thank you so much 🙌🏼

This is by far the best video advice I have ever seen, your video is natural understanding & really awesome information, I am living in Hamilton, & next time I come to Auckland I will definitely & hopefully come & find where ever you are set up & open for business, & have a donut & coffee from your food caravan, really enjoyed your video 👍

Thank You for All that you are doing for World Peace and for our Planet... Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. La Paz.. Namaste .. 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ ☮️ ❤️ 🕊

Thx for all the tips. To have a coffee truck is one of my many ideas. See you in NZ if I'm come back. Cheers

Such a genuine video ! Thanks for sharing.

LOL Okay... That was freakin' adorable. Thank you for being real. Made it easy to understand and follow along. Best to you and Wolfe. :)

Hi from Ireland , thanks for sharing your story I’m in the process if setting up my Coffey truck in Ireland’s wild Atlantic way .

If you’re a cut twice measure once gal then I too shall make it. Great tips and the very best of luck with you’re new shop. 🤙🏻

Blackmail 😂😂😂 you are hilarious!! Thank you for this video!

Thank you for posting this.

You're awesome! Really great advice too! Thanks love.

I really love your vlog!!! God bless and more power to come :)

really helpful stuff guys thank you

I've always wanted to do a truck just like this - with a bare-bones menu just like this. Any plans to publish an ebook of your baking recipes?

Thank you for your tips!!

love it, great ideas

Wonderful video!! 🥰

I love this, Soo inspiring!! 😃😃

Thank you so much for this.

Heyy, great video, would love to hear more about your journey a few year on :-)

Hello Yolanda and Wolfe, you guys are awesome and an inspiration!

Please make more videos this was awesome

Great vid, you rock.

it's beautiful my dream is to have one truck cafe like this. I also live in Auckland lol

Awesome video, thank you!

Great vid ! Inspiring indeed...

Thank you!

Nice build coffee caravan. Good point about the table height. I've ordered coffee from places with a serving table so high that almost everyone had to look up. Quite annoying.

“Barry the real estate agent” ☠️ 😂

Also an update of things you’d do differently if you had to do it again and unexpected things you’ve ran into 😅😇

thanks for the guidance.

Great Job!

Well done I enjoyed

Thanks Yolanda

I'm starting a Coffee cart in Temple Texas! Thanks for sharing!

"...and I'm a pretty good dancer too" *cut, next scene* 😅 love this vid!

The last three minutes thanks for your advice…👍🏼👍🏼 Soon going to start a coffee shop… I bought a realestate with coffee shop. Why not I run it?

I’d like to know how the water system works with the buckets and I’m assuming the tank of water that feeds water to the machine and the size of it and roughly how many drink you can make with the amount of water 😅😇

Hi ya Yolanda I really hope you guys are goin great (haven’t checked out social media as yet). My sister just bought a coffee van in Australia and I had to share your video. It was straight forward and insightful. I have a feeling you’re still around (hopefully). If you are, you’re vid was great and a follow up would be fantastic. I’ve subbed just incase. Thanks again.

Thank u for your simple yet very informative video on your coffee biz! What type of locations/events do you recommend parking your trailer? Thanks from the USA!

haha ur too cute, "I don't do intro's"...starts intro right after...

Great video! Can i ask what is the model and name of your coffee machine?

Loved your video. I'm hoping to open a coffee caravan in the UK with either a La Marzocco or a San Remo machine and grinder. How are you powering your caravan in terms of a generator etc. Is the noise very loud? Also do you stay fixed in one location? If not, how easy is it to move around with a generator? I've always understood that LPG espresso machines are difficult to control the temperature on and can burn the coffee....

Very nice make more videos about business coffee shops I want to business in my country...... Please give more Ida

Hey! Loved this, share the dream 🥰 Where is your business now a year later?

HI that was a great video, very informative. Can you tell me how do you know where to go in your food truck. Do you just go to events or do you do roadside coffee as well, if so do you just turn up. Maybe more infor on logistics of where you can sell

Just subscribed and thank you so much. Just visited your .com and hopes to connect with you. I am in West Auckland 2 years later

Im thinking of doing a coffee van here in Australia, 🤞😋

Wondering if you can do this on the side? Like maybe a few days during the week plus weekends?

Hey! How did you secure the machine and grinder to the bench?

We are also starting our own ice cream trailer ☺️ may I ask did you do a business coarse ? How was your first week then first year profit wise ? Secondly did you put in $10,000 to do up the caravan ? Was the caravan cost separately

Good morning! Could u please tell me the dimensions of your caravan please? Just the length and width please? By the way I love your presentation in this video! You did a great job!!!

By them a coffee!

🔥🔥🔥🔥

hey there! i was wondering if you could do a video or maybe just a comment about how to choose a location to stop and sell your coffee. Do you have a fixed locations, or do you just move around?

0:46

What color did you paint your trailer?

Hi how many power points do you have in the trailer and how much did it put you back to install electrics? Am looking to install the inlet outside, 3 power points and light switch in our trailer here in Aus

Hi how are things, how many kgs is the caravan?

Hi love what generator do you use for your van?(:

Great idea ! how is business today ? i know is tought everyware

Why did you guys closed?

What kind of location are you in?

Thanks for sharing your experience as I’ve just also made a very similar video. I think you did a good job but do want to point out I think it’s unrealistic to put $10,000 in your title. You probably should have explained how this just worked for you. For instance, in the USA, your trailer wouldn’t pass any state health inspections. You need a 4 compartment sink, water heater, and closed water tanks. Also, La Marzocco commercial espresso machines start around $6,000. In addition, how do you pull it to events? You would need to spend money on a truck or have one from the start and not everyone does. For people wanting to start a food truck or trailer, I think it’s important to be more realistic with them about how much this is going to cost. Perhaps in New Zealand, for people that already have a truck, and access to used coffee or cooking equipment they can do it for $10,000. But if people in the USA watch this video and think they can start one for this price is going to be very upset halfway through the process.

👍💯

Is this weathered also did yall have to go through coding for approval of business plan from where you live? Im in the USA philly

Great tips, thank you for sharing. So do you bake at home? Is there a special requirement for that? Thank you 😊

Heya. Do you think completing a small business certificate will be beneficial for this kind of venture? I'm just on the fence about it all. As a young kiwi gal myself I am inspired ☺

how did you afford a La marzocco if you were on a budget ? was it second hand or something ?

Do you run off a generator at times? If so what size?

OMG UR FOOD LOOKS FUCKING AMAIZNG. WOW WTF I HOPE YOU GUYS EXPAND UR BRAND OVERSEAS SOME DAY. OMG I WANNA EAT UR DONUTS SO BAD. WOW. GOALS!

How do you deal with rude customers?

Do you use a generator?

Are you guys still operating?? Cant find you guys on Instagram..

microphones make a huge difference fwiw

"Intention" and "service" are two of my favourite words. Read your NZH piece. Well done! www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=12251389

Hi did you need to go to school to be a barista?

10K setup? how so, the espresso machine is already worth more

no food handling laws there
