What’s big and red, rolls around, and serves up some of the best coffee in Philadelphia? If you live or work in University City, live a caffeinated lifestyle, and haven’t discovered it yet, you’re in for a treat. 26-year-old Penn grad Andrew Crockett first parked his big red HubBub Coffee truck on 38th Street in late October, and his brews have been steadily developing a loyal following.

Coffee from a truck may dredge up images of watered-down battery acid, but the stuff HubBub brings for sale is no ordinary cup o’ joe. The truck is outfitted with fancy coffeemakers and a La Marzocco espresso machine handmade in Italy. It gets its beans from the highly acclaimed Stumptown Coffee, and independent roaster based in Portland, Oregon. HubBub serves everything from your humble drip coffee to specialty fancy-pants drinks, as well as a few baked goodies (try the upscale rice crispy treats).

Crockett is as savvy with technology as he is passionate about quality coffee. The truck is at its usual spot on weekdays, but on weekends it rolls around the neighborhood, broadcasting its location via Twitter. You can also get in the know by checking out HubBub’s Facebook page. So next time you need a pick-me-up, steer clear of Starbucks and seek out the HubBub truck. One sip and you might never return to Starbucks (or Wawa, for that matter).
