Project Description

Hi friends, family, and coffee lovers!

I’m Hermina Lezama, the founder of Coffee Island Inc., where we’re passionate about crafting premium Caribbean-inspired coffee blends and sharing a taste of island life with coffee lovers everywhere.

We’ve grown as an online coffee business, but now it’s time to take the next step. With your help, we’re launching a mobile coffee cart to bring our freshly brewed coffee directly to the community—at festivals, events, and more!

Why a Mobile Coffee Cart?

While roasting coffee has been our foundation, having a coffee cart allows us to expand into brewing and serving fresh coffee on the go. Selling coffee is about more than just making connections; it’s about creating connections, building a community, and introducing more people to the rich, bold flavors that represent Coffee Island Inc.

Our Goal

We’re seeking to raise $20,000 to fund:

  1. A custom-designed coffee cart that embodies our Caribbean heritage.
  2. High-quality brewing equipment to deliver consistent, exceptional coffee.
  3. Initial supplies to start serving.
  4. Permits and licenses to operate at public and private events.

This expansion will allow Coffee Island Inc. to expand beyond roasting into an event-based coffee service, creating new revenue streams and helping us build a more substantial, more sustainable business.
