BoBo’s Cafe has served handcrafted coffee and fresh food since 2015, continuing a family tradition that started in 1949. Known for quality coffee, fresh food, and friendly service, the company built a loyal customer base through its café locations.
As the business grew, the team expanded into mobile catering across New York and Connecticut. Their goal was to deliver the same quality, consistency, and customer experience at corporate events, schools, festivals, and private parties.
To support this expansion, BoBo’s Cafe needed a custom food trailer designed specifically for their operation. Because the menu combines handcrafted coffee with hot food, the trailer needed to support both services while maintaining an efficient workflow during busy events.
We built an 18-foot custom coffee trailer designed around the way BoBo’s operates. Every design decision started with the menu. Coffee service and hot food preparation required dedicated work areas so both operations could run efficiently without interrupting one another.
This fully equipped food trailer includes a commercial espresso machine, two refrigerated prep stations, a refrigerator, an undercounter ice maker, a flat-top griddle, a deep fryer, a commercial exhaust hood with a make-up air system, rooftop air conditioning, a three-compartment sink, a handwashing sink, a utility sink, a commercial water heater, a 56-gallon fresh water tank, a 93-gallon wastewater tank, a commercial water pump, and an integrated fire suppression system.
The coffee station is positioned alongside the refrigerated prep stations, with the ice maker located nearby to keep beverage service efficient. The cooking equipment is installed under the exhaust hood to manage heat, grease, and smoke while keeping the food preparation area separate from the cooking line.
The refrigerated prep stations create a central preparation area between the coffee station and the cooking equipment. Staff can access ingredients from either side of the trailer without crossing paths. During busy catering events, this layout improves workflow, reduces unnecessary movement, and helps keep orders moving efficiently.
The plumbing system was designed for everyday commercial operation. The sinks, water heater, water pump, and related plumbing components are arranged to simplify maintenance and support health department requirements. The larger fresh and wastewater tanks also allow the trailer to operate longer before refilling or servicing.
Like every Golden State Trailers project, this mobile food trailer was fully engineered before construction began. Electrical, plumbing, propane, ventilation, and fire safety systems were designed as one integrated system from the start. This approach helps reduce installation issues, supports inspections, and delivers a commercial kitchen built for reliable daily operation.
As experienced food trailer builders and a trusted food trailer manufacturer, we design every project around the customer’s menu, workflow, and operational requirements. Whether you’re looking for a food trailer or a coffee trailer, every trailer is engineered to support long-term performance rather than follow a one-size-fits-all layout.
