9 Must-Try Mobile Coffee Bars in Metro Phoenix to Get Your Caffeine Fix

By Robert Gundran

April 5, 2023

How does iced horchata with espresso sound? Or coffee with CBD oil? Find these specialities at local coffee trucks.

Food trucks have taken a hold of the Valley food scene, giving small-business owners the chance to share their creations with people across the state without the need for a brick-and-mortar store. 

It also gives foodies a way to try out things they’ve never had before when a new food truck comes to their neighborhood or part of town. 

But some trucks specialize in something other than food: coffee. 

From Avondale to Chandler, here are nine mobile coffee bars where Valley residents can get their caffeine fix:
