Gas Station Coffee Shops

Say Sayonara to Stale and Watered-Down Truck-Stop Java

— February 6, 2009 — Lifestyle
Quaint coffee shops in the artsy part of America’s towns have long been a staple in America, but the popularity of coffee has grown so much in the last couple of years, we’re now seeing hip coffee shops pop up in some of the most unlikely places.

William Nunes is behind the worldwide Wild Bean Café chain. Wild Beans Café features not only espressos, cappuccinos and café lattes made from the finest beans in South America, but a selection of foods that includes subs, burgers, hot dogs, fries, and pastries--all served in a cozy coffee shop setting that’s open seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day.

So where do you find this cool coffee shop/bistro?

That’s the beauty of it. These hip little coffee shops are located in BP Express gas station shops on four continents, so you can enjoy great coffee, good food and a hip atmosphere, all while you fill the car with gas.

Coffee has become such an important part of our culture these days; thanks to Wild Bean Café, we no longer have to suffer the taste of stale gas station coffee.
