Award-Winning Mobile Coffee Carts: New Brand and Café Concept
With winners from 12 countries, it was a privilege to walk away with two awards:
Best New Brand – Cartisan
Best Café Concept – The Kensington
For those who don’t know us, Cartisan is a British manufacturer of premium mobile coffee carts, built on the belief that mobile coffee shouldn't have to look temporary.
Two Years of Award-Winning Coffee Carts
After The Richmond won Café Concept at last year's awards, this was a great moment and proved that the brand, even in its infancy, is heading in the right direction.
But as always, there's plenty more we still aim to do – more events, new ideas, upgraded designs – so the future is looking even better!
