He's so frothy
If you watch this little coffee van in the mornings and calculate the amount of coffees he serves and do the maths, I think these two gents are making a great living. Like Ernie, the hot dog vendor at Rye High who made 100K+ during his years in front of the university, this coffee van is probably doing just as well.
The only downfall for the coffee van or any outdoor business is inclement weather but Brits don't usually mind a bit of rain so am sure the loyal customers still make it out to the van. When I used to work in the area only on a few really miserable days would Mr. Frothy not pitch up but 99% of the time he was there. For the last few years this van has been in Spitafields market on Sundays and from Monday to Friday outside ABN-AMRO one of the large investment banks in the city. The van is located a few minutes from Liverpool Street Station off of Bishopsgate Road which is part of the bustling financial district.
The two that operate the van are very Italian with their v. Euro dress sense, uber cool side burns and I-tai accents. It is also across the street from Starbucks and sometimes you can see people debating which queue to stand in. Will try and do some more investigations and report back.
Oh and the coffee is good!
