MOBILE COFFEE AND MATCHA SERVICE
POPPING UP AROUND THE CONNECTICUT RIVER VALLEY
Minnow is a considered specialty coffee experience in a small, mobile footprint - espresso and matcha, seasonal drink specials made with fresh + local ingredients, and the occasional baked treat, served from our custom cafe cart at pop-ups and events all around the Valley. That’s the gist, anyways.
Minnow is based in Chester, CT, but we pop-up up at shops and events all around the Connecticut River Valley. Check out our list of upcoming events to find out where you can visit us, and follow us on Instagram for regular updates.
