The Bowling Green Coffee Lab is a pop-up tricycle cafe serving hot and iced espresso drinks and hand made cream sodas in the Bowling Green KY area.
The cafe is available for both private and public events, and parties.
Bowling Green Coffee Lab’s espresso is made fresh to order using a La Marzocco espresso machine from Florence, Italy, and a Mazzer grinder from Venice, Italy.
Every shot is individually weighed and timed to ensure perfect extraction.
Each cream soda is made by hand with premium flavors, carbonated water, and fresh cold foam. If you prefer a plain soda without the cream, I can do that too!
I have a Ferla X mobile coffee cart that serves as the cafe. Everything is self-contained and ready to pack up and ride.
The Ferla X has a full fridge, a sink and water reservoir, and its own electric system. YES! I do ride the bike around!
Our beans are roasted locally at Ridley Roasthouse and is a hand-selected blend of beans from Guatemala and Myanmar. We call it Blend X, and it is only available at the Coffee Lab!
ESPRESSO DRINKS
AND CREAM SODAS
MADE TO ORDER
OPEN WEEKLY
Most often you can find me either at the White Squirrel Brewery in the evenings and Sunday brunch, or at the Ridley Roasthouse during the weekdays. Seasonal events pop up from time to time like the SoKY Summer Market as well. You may also find me in random places occasionally. You never know where you’ll find me…
Check the BGCL Facebook page for current locations, schedule, and offerings.
GOOD ESPRESSO DRINKS, HOT OR ICED
I care about the quality of your coffee, and you should, too.
The Bowling Green Coffee Lab uses professional cafe-quality equipment straight from Italy: a La Marzocco Linea Mini dual-boiler espresso machine with professional-level temperature stability a built-in PID system, a Mazzer Super Jolly Pro grinder, and an Acaia Lunar scale.
Each shot is pulled by hand and weighed, generally using a 1:2 ratio of coffee in to espresso out. Calibrations and adjustments are made constantly to the equipment to ensure the best quality shot possible based on the conditions (beans, temperature, humidity level, etc.).
COCKTAILS AT THE WHITE SQUIRREL BREWERY
Want to try something new? You can get a cold, creamy, hand shaken espresso martini at the White Squirrel Brewery when I’m there. I’ll make you a freshly-pulled double shot of espresso that the bartenders use to craft you the perfect martini.
Alcohol can be added to any drink at the bar. Just have it made at the cart, take it to the bar, and talk to the bartender. Want a peach and vanilla cream soda with rum? Sure thing! They can do that!
SOMETHING SWEET AND COLD
I hand make sodas and cream sodas using premium flavors and syrups and freshly made cold foam. They are a traditional soda fountain soda with a creamy twist!
You can get them with or without cold foam and they’re available in a variety of changing flavors. Come visit to see what flavors I have in stock today!
HAVE BIKE, WILL TRAVEL
The Bowling Green Coffee Lab is available for hire for your events, and we’re always looking for more places to set up shop. I do weddings, parties, events, office openings, and just about anything else you can think of.
If your event is in the Downtown area I can just ride there on the bike and set up, but if you have something that’s further away I can always use the trailer.
Contact me for pricing and availability. Let me bring the cafe to you!
