MARANDO'S CAFE MINI COFFEE TRUCK

AVAILABLE FOR BOOKINGS TODAY!

Let us bring your coffee moment to you!

BOOK NOW!

Welcome to Marando's Cafe!

Hi there! My name is Carla and I have a passion for creating connection through coffee. The dream is to one day have an actual brick and mortar location of Marando's Cafe but for now, I'm located on the back of a 30 year old mini truck and ready to bring your coffee moment to you!

The name "Marando's Cafe" was inspired by my Italian grandmother's unconditional love and welcoming presence. My grandmother never knew a stranger - you were always welcome in her home, no matter who you were. When you come to Marando's Cafe, that is exactly how you will be treated - like family :)

Where will Marando's Cafe be next?

Come say hi at:

Date: Friday May 1st

Event: Sunny Boutique 1-Year Celebration Kick-Off

Location: Sunny Boutique

Address: 137 North Market Street, Wooster, OH 44691

Time: 10AM - 2PM

Probably one of my favorite themed private events to date. 🪩🌺��💃

I just LOVE seeing how people decorate our shelving space when they book us for a private event!

It’s so cool to see the truck take so many shapes for so many different kind of events 🥹

It’s a crazy feeling to be set up at the same soccer fields you grew up playing on.

The rain and the mud did not stop you guys from stopping by and showing your support and I could not be more grateful for that!

Thank you so much to everyone that came by! We had the best time trying to help keep everyone cozy with something warm to drink in the crazy weather we had!

Hope to see you all again next year! ☺️

I’ve wanted to sell bags of coffee on the truck since day one.

But I wanted to do it right.

I wanted to make sure that this blend of beans truly captured the spirit of Marando’s Cafe.

And thanks to the absolutely incredible team at @goldberrycoffee_ashland , this blend is just right.

“Sarah’s Blend” is the type of coffee that you want to bring home and share. It’s the type of coffee that you’ll want to always have around, ready to use at any moment to make a cup of coffee for someone as a gesture of welcoming them into your home.

It’s a blend that you can rely on every single day and one that you can trust will always make you feel right at home, just like my grandmother Sarah did.

Thank you endlessly @goldberrycoffee_ashland for taking the time to work with me on bringing this vision to life.

I can’t wait for you all to have the opportunity to bring a bit of Marando’s Cafe in to your very own home 🤍

You guys…. 🥹

Something’s super special is brewing…..

I’ve been working with the incredible team at @goldberrycoffee and I can’t wait to share more with you all very soon ☺️

I think about it every time we set up….

How in the WORLD did we make this work? How is this actually my reality? How have we made it this far?

Trust me, it blows my mind just as much as yours every time we successfully set up for an event.

We have been so busy recently. But I’m finally finding time to reflect.

There is So. Much. Hard. Work. that goes into running a small business behind the scenes. Sometimes I question if I can handle it.

But then I’m quickly reminded that I can when I make a connection with a customer, when someone gets excited over the latte art I just poured, when people say “I’ve been following you for so long and have always wanted to stop by and try your coffee!” - It all means. So. Much!

It reminds me why I love doing this so much. It reminds me of all the love that was poured into creating Marando’s Cafe and now I get to share that love with EVERYONE that stops by for a cup of coffee. It reminds me of the unconditional love and care that my grandmother shared with so many people.

Thank you all. Every single one of you that follows along, takes time out of their day to come see us, chat with us - it’s because of you that my dream is now a reality I get to share with all of you.

With love,
Carla

Oh, you want us to set up for your bridal shower? AND the theme just so happens to be “Love is Brewing”? On our way ☕️🚛

We had such a blast at this private event and we just love seeing how creative people get when we get booked for a private event 🫶🏼

Today, my grandmother would have turned 95.

I miss her every single day.

I am grateful to God every single day for blessing me with a grandmother so kind, hospitable and caring that she inspired the mini coffee truck I now call Marando’s Cafe.

Happy Birthday, grandma. Love you forever 🤍

Finally recovering from our 3-day bender….

And all I gotta say is that it was absolutely incredible. We got to do everything we could hope to do with the truck - serve coffee, meet new people, experience random acts of kindness and witness the joy that the truck brings to people 🤍☕️

We are exhausted but we would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Endlessly grateful for the places that this truck takes me.

Hitting a rush on a mini coffee truck is a whole other type of energy 😂

We’ve been kind of quiet recently….

But that’s because we have been busy working on so many new and exciting things!

Including an upgrade to our whole milk supply!

We are thrilled to be using whole milk that is locally sourced from @countrycreameryfarm right here in Wooster, OH!

At Marando’s Cafe, we are all about being intentional - from the way we serve you your drink to the ingredients that we use in every cup, there is so much thought that goes into it! ☺️☕️

So it’s safe to say we are so excited to not only be supporting a local business but to also now be using a high quality milk where you can taste the difference!

Come try it out this Saturday at @cottonwoodshanty from 10am-3pm!

#coffee #coffeetruck #minitruck #smallbusiness #ohiocoffee

Join us as we kick off the spring season strong this Saturday 3/14 in downtown Millersburg!

We will be celebrating the 7-year shoppiversary for @cottonwoodshanty and it will be our third year in a row celebrating this amazing shoppe and amazing human being!

Can’t wait to see you there! 🥳

#coffee #coffeetruck #minitruck #smallbusiness #ohiocoffee

We can picture it now…

Waking up super early, taking in the beautiful morning sunrise, driving the truck somewhere special to start brewing some fresh coffee to serve to our wonderful customers 🤍

And only 18 more days until the official start of spring 🌸

Our schedule for this season is filling up and we can’t wait to share all the exciting things we have planned for this year as well as some small new surprises along the way ☺️

We wear lots of hats.

And we love every single one of them 🤍☕️

Love comes in all shapes and sizes - ours just so happens to come in the shape of heart latte art 🤍☕️

Heading into year 2 of being in business and it’s INSANE to look back and see how far we have come 🥹

#coffee #coffeetruck #minitruck #smallbusiness #ohiocoffee

It filled my cup (pun intended) to see all the amazing ways coffee inspires others!

It’s impossible to summarize in words the most incredible year of your life.

So in addition to a few photos, here are some fast Marando’s Cafe 2025 facts:

- set up at 65 events
- served 952 lattes
- fit the truck inside 3 different building locations
- 260 gallons of whole milk used
- 120 bags of ices

I could go on. But my favorite stat of the year:

- an endless amount of priceless interactions with all of you 🤍

Cheers to an incredible first year of being in business in 2025🥂

Here’s to making 2026 even better 🥳

The memories a mug can hold 🤍☕️

How do you celebrate a year of being in business?

How do you describe it?

How do you find the words to thank the ENDLESS amount of people behind the scenes who have supported me, encouraged me, believed in me, guided me? Or to thank the complete strangers, who are now friends, that take the time out of their day to come see us at the truck when we are set up?

How do you do it?

I have come to find that it is near impossible to express my gratitude in words because the words just simply don’t exist.

So I’ll keep it simple-

Thank you all. Every single one of you - following along, coming to events, reading this post. Thank you.

Without you, Marando’s Cafe would not exist. Without you, I wouldn’t be blessed with the opportunity to share the same love and kindness to others through coffee that my grandma demonstrated every single day of her life.

And I truly believe that she has been with me every step of the way - through the good times and the bad times.

And I believe she will continue to be with me for years to come. 🤍

As Mariah would say, it’s tiiiiiiiimmmeeee!!

I’m not gonna lie guys, I am feeling REALLY excited about this lineup here!

I’m not a matcha girly (of course I still serve it 🫶🏼) however this Mistletoe Matcha has got me feeling super festive!

Come try one (or all 👀) of these festive drinks for the first time this season this Saturday in Millersburg, OH at @cottonwoodshanty from 10am - 3pm!

And if it couldn’t get any better, did I mention we will also be serving gingerbread scones with a maple drizzle along with s’more cookie bars…… need I say more? 🍪

We are so excited to kick off the holiday season this weekend and we can’t wait to see all your cheery faces! 🤍

Absolutely spook-tacular time!

Halloween has always been my favorite time of year! It was so fun to decorate the truck in spooky decorations, serve up some warm cozy drinks all while being surrounded by trick-or-treaters in fun Halloween costumes!🧙‍♀️

Needless to say, it felt like straight out of a Hallmark movie and we were THRIVING! 🎃

Biggest thank you goes out to the Smithville Historical Society for asking us to come set up! We had a blast!

Espresso, brown sugar & pumpkin cold foam - introducing our last minute drink special for the weekend (because I am suddenly really feeling in the fall spirit lol) The Great Pumpkin Brew!!

Come try it out tomorrow at @sunnyboutiquewooster or Sunday at @sundaystudio.oh in New Philadelphia, OH!

#coffee #coffeetruck #minitruck #fallcoffee #pumpkinseason

It’s always such an honor to be asked to set up at a wedding 🥹

Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Stevens 🤍

This week is all about taking in moments of peace. Over a warm cup of coffee, of course 🤍☕️

Usually around this time of week, I would be posting my weekly schedule.

But not this week.

Instead, I’m posting this photo of my fiancé and I because marrying him is the only thing I have on my schedule for the next week and a half 🤍

LAST PUBLIC EVENT AS A STOLL 🥹

This Friday 9/19 will be our only public event this month and my last event with the last name “Stoll”. Now that’s crazy.
