more than just coffee

A vintage coffee van parked where the sand meets the sea — pouring speciality coffee, homemade bakes and good mornings on East Strand, Portrush.

✳ About Us ✳

come along on our story

We're Marcus and Laura — and we set up our first business on the same beach we had our first date. Nearly a year in, one lovingly restored van, thousands of coffees and the best community on the north coast. Swipe through and catch up.

✳ Hudson ✳

the dog on everyone's cup

Our story wouldn't be complete without our baby boy Hudson — the golden retriever you'll spot dozing under the van, greeting the regulars, and starring on every cup we pour.

  • Chief of quality control (croissant crumbs division)
  • Usually found napping in the van's shade between beach swims
  • Immortalised in the little window sketch on our cups
  • Accepts pets — payment in belly rubs welcome
