If you’ve ever imagined serving up smiles (and coffee) to your community, but find yourself stuck wondering:
- Will it even be profitable?
- How much does it cost to start?
- What permits do I need?
- How much will I pay monthly?
- How much will I make per cup?
- What equipment do I need?
- What if I fail?
You’re not alone. These are the exact questions I’ve helped hundreds of aspiring coffee entrepreneurs answer on their journey to success.
Why Learn From Me?
Hi, I’m Vincent from Green Joe Coffee School, and I’ve dedicated my life to helping people like you launch their coffee businesses. Over the years, I’ve:
- Owned multiple coffee carts, trucks, and trailers myself, learning firsthand what works (and what doesn’t).
- Helped hundreds of people start their own successful coffee businesses, including carts, trucks, trailers, kiosks, and drive-thrus.
- Literally written the book on coffee trucking, packed with my hard-earned lessons and insights.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: starting a coffee business is entirely possible when you have the right plan, support, and knowledge.

Is it self guided in which I can start at any time or are there certain times that it starts?
Both. The class was created as a DIY. However, I enjoy participating, so I do host class times where I cover the curriculum in presentation style. Those are recorded and uploaded to the course. This helps students move at their own pace, but also get instruction and it helps me update my curriculum with questions from the students.
Is it a class?
It’s a virtual class. We host the meetings over Google Meet. You don’t need a gmail to join, just a link.
