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.
