This coffee truck just opened in the Dave's Express center at Root and Gosling. I stopped in one morning to try them out. I got the black vanilla latte, which is made with activated charcoal, vanilla, and a double espresso shot.
You can absolutely see the charcoal. The drink is gray before the espresso is added, and pretty much stays that way. I got it iced, and it tasted quite good--not too sweet. Charcoal does not change the flavor. I often get a sour stomach from drinking coffee later in the morning, as I did here, but did not experience that this time. Charcoal isn't known as an acid reducer, most people that use it do it to remove toxins before they reach the kidneys but the benefits are not clear. in any case, it's something that's not on the Starbucks menu!Service was friendly and enthusiastic. They have a wide variety of coffees, including cold brew and chemex as well as espresso. They have teas as well. The owner prepares the drink in front of you, which would be particularly fun with Chemex. There are a lot of coffee options around but if you live near here it's definitely worth a try as a change from the chains. It's also a nice looking truck.
