Riverside Arts Market - Jacksonville, FL

The Brown Bean Express

The Brown Bean Express mobile coffee cart is owned and operated by Cheryl Ruppert and Theresa Davis.

Cheryl is a recently retired Physical Education elementary school teacher from Montclair Elementary in Clay County. Theresa runs another business besides the Brown Bean Express during the week. She owns Iris Landscape Maintenance and Design five days of the week and joins her partner, Cheryl for Saturdays at RAM.

They purchased The Brown Bean Express cart from Vancouver, Canada more than five years ago, but they just couldn't find the right spot on Jacksonville streets, until now. The Riverside Arts Market has been the best place for the business and for making lots of new friends. Theresa's landscape business is mostly in the Riverside and Avondale area, so every weekend, they see lots of people they know at the cart and have also added many new customers and friends. No one remains a stranger for long around the Brown Bean Express.

In keeping with the goals of the arts market, they use a local roaster, Bold Bean Coffee, for their blends, and they use 'green' cups to help the environment. For the summer months, they also added healthy smoothies to the menu. But no matter what your preference, hot or cold coffee, a hot chocolate, or a smoothie, you will also get excellent service with a smile. Be sure to check out their mobile espresso cart in their usual spot, at the convenient corner, near the stage and restrooms.
