The caffé mobile story
Based in the heart of Cambridge, our family business is widely recognised by our many loyal customers as serving some of the tastiest, great value coffee in town.
Our quirky, tricolore three-wheeler is a Piaggio Ape, ingeniously converted to accommodate an lpg powered espresso machine, large internal water tank and plenty of storage allowing the business to be completely self-sufficient for service.
Caffé Mobile is run by Ben Jones - who, having spent many years working in corporate coffee bars, decided in 2001 to make the leap and set up his own business.
As well as our delicious range of coffees, we also serve tea, hot chocolate and scrumptious homemade cakes, lovingly made by Caitlin, Ben's partner and owner of The Little Bakery.
We're open all year round at various events in the Cambridge area including a regular pitch at The National Trust’s Anglesey Abbey

“Ben, trading as Caffé Mobile, was one of our food traders at Rhythms of The World 2011. I had first seen him at Cambridge Folk Festival and was impressed by his compact, tidy trading unit as well as the quality of the products. The length of the queue was proof of his popularity.
Ben’s application to trade at ROTW was submitted with full information, all documents were produced as requested and payment made on time. He kept his pitch clean, tidy and there were no issues with litter. We asked him to provide tables and chairs for the public, which he did. Ben and his team were a pleasure to work with and we look forward to welcoming them back to ROTW 2012”
