Local business person Cindi Bonny Oates has opened The Beanie Box Coffee Truck at Gobby Beach, Ringaksiddy. Here, Cindi tells us about the venture.
The Beanie Box, which is a small family business at Gobby Beach in Ringaskiddy, has been running for almost a year. Every weekend you will find Cindy and her team, serving coffee, hot chocolate, iced mochas, sweet treats and more to their loyal customers, including serving Pupachinos to cater for the local dog walkers and their little friends!
The idea of running a food truck came about as a result of Cindy’s love of coffee and a sweet treat, but it was the pandemic that gave her the push to do it. She had a look around in her area, and felt that running a food truck was something she could be good at! She carried out research, chose what products to sell, and made sure that they could be locally sourced.
Their sweet treats, baked goods, milk, and hot chocolate are sourced from local suppliers including Hoban’s Treats in Carrigaline, The Flour House in Kinsale, O’Conaill Chocolate, and Clóna Dairy in Clonakilty. We are also trying to have health options for people who like that kind of stuff we start small and hope it grows.
