THE UK’S PREMIER MOBILE COFFEE FRANCHISE
Cafe2U is the premier mobile coffee franchise system, delivering great quality espresso coffee to delighted customers, in non-traditional locations – that's great coffee any time, anywhere!
Cafe2U has actively been selling franchises in the UK since the summer of 2005. Cafe2U was the first coffee franchise to take quality espresso coffee direct to its customers – truly a mobile coffee service or, as the name explains, Cafe2U! Cafe2U has now reached the magical 100 franchises worldwide, with more than 30 franchises in Britain, we are the fastest growing mobile espresso coffee business in the UK. In Australia we also have more than 70 franchises and continue to remain the No. 1 mobile espresso operator in the world!
Are you fed up with your daily routine? Are you looking for an opportunity that will reward your hard work? Do you want to decide when you work and spend more time with friends and family? If the answer is yes to these questions, and you want to build your own profitable business, then Cafe2U is the franchise business for you.
Cafe2U is a proven concept offering franchisees the freedom to choose their working hours and location. You do not need to have prior hospitality or coffee related experience. You can run this business on your own or with a partner, working from home with minimal overheads and guaranteed healthy returns. To ensure your success, we provide an extensive induction programme, exclusive Cafe2U territories, superb marketing support and ongoing training.
Cafe2U is a quality coffee shop on wheels, bringing premium espresso coffee and other treats to places those high street coffee shops cannot reach! – business districts, retail parks, industrial estates, out-of-town offices, indoor or outdoor functions and shows! Our franchisees run a daily route that their customers eagerly look forward to, serving a variety of premium coffees in all shapes, sizes and flavours, as well as tea, smoothies, juices, hot chocolate, mouth watering cookies, muffins and cakes, salads, sandwiches, hot foods and more.
Cafe2U targets a captive market. The meteoric rise of high street coffee shops proves that people have developed a sophisticated taste for decent coffee. The majority of workers, however, are not located next to a coffee shop and have to make do with a kettle and a jar of instant. Cafe2U changes all that. We bring customers what they want – quality and variety superbly presented right where they work.
“Change your lifestyle today”
Cafe2U is in the UK and is looking for partners in Ireland too. We aim to have a delivery unit in every town in Britain and Ireland in the next three years. You could be the next Cafe2U franchisee!
Here's why it could work for you:
- Earn a fantastic income; a cup of coffee can achieve up to a whopping 2,000 per cent mark up!
- You are your own boss.
- Provide a high street coffee shop service but don’t work high street coffee shop hours, leaving more time for family and friends.
- Get a high level of repeat business from your customers.
- No climbing the greasy corporate pole.
- No commuting to work.
- Quality of life improves because you are in control
What do I do now?
We have worked tirelessly improving our product over here in the UK for the last three years.
Don’t forget this is a proven business model from Australia, trading for over six years, with more than 70 Cafe2U vans on the road.
The franchise must feel right for you. We can arrange for you to spend time with one of our franchisees and with us as your potential franchisor. We’ve got to get to know you as well – we have a responsibility to protect our brand and build effectively within the continually growing coffee industry.

"I have never been happier in my working life, since I made the decision to own a Cafe2U franchise. My background was in retail management and I needed a change from the daily grind of working long hours for someone else. I needed something that would suit the lifestyle of a young growing family and was also financially rewarding as well as being enjoyable to do. Since starting Cafe2U, my life has changed dramatically. I love the daily challenge of running my own business and let's not forget, being my own boss. The brand is second to none; the product is fantastic; the training and support is superb and very reassuring. There is no stone left unturned from an operational perspective with a manual for everything. They have made all the mistakes so that I don't have to. Let's not forget the people though. Everyone is so friendly and approachable; they are also very professional and thorough. My own franchise has been up and trading now for 4 months and has exceeded all expectations, so much so that I should have another van on the road within the next few months, and a third before my Cafe2U 1st anniversary. All of this will be achieved without losing sight of the fact that I joined Cafe2U for a lifestyle change. Cafe2U ticks all the boxes and more. My van is now part of the family." - Jeff, Belfast Harbour, Northern Ireland
"Having worked for 16 years as an office manager, and then spent the last 3 years at home looking after my children, I decided I wanted to go back to work and do something for myself. Cafe2U offers me the opportunity to work, but not in a stifling environment, build my own business, yet still balance this with my young family commitments. I am thoroughly enjoying serving a product everyone loves, working outside, meeting new friends, and of course driving a Mercedes! The support, training, and sense of belonging I have received from the Cafe2U team have been fantastic. Winning the inaugural Cafe2U Franchisee of the Year award only enhanced this further and now with a second franchised operation I know that I have made the right choice for my future." - Tracey, Thorpe Park, Leeds
