No. 70 of the UK's Top 100
Cafe2U is the UK’s leading mobile coffee franchise, delivering coffee, other hot beverages and food to businesses, events and functions from a van. Cafe2U’s exclusive coffee blend is selected from some of the finest coffee growing regions in the world, roasted to a unique recipe, packaged and shipped in a manner that means it is usually less than 2-4 weeks old when opened by the franchisees. Cafe2U was the first mobile coffee franchise in the UK to achieve Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) Food Safety System Certification – an internationally recognised method of identifying and managing risks.
