9 Mile Garden at 9375 Gravois Road in Affton is getting a new addition that’s a bit unusual for a food truck destination: a permanent fixture. The food truck garden announced it would be opening 9 Mile Garden Cafe, a drive-thru and walk-up coffee truck that will be parked on the grounds in perpetuity.
The cafe, which will open at the end of this month, will offer a standard coffee menu, as well as specialty drinks such as a Whipped Mazagran, Carmel Cafe Da Olla and more. Its beans are being roasted by Belleville’s Longstory Coffee.
??“We’re excited to open this cafe for our community. We’ve always strived to partner with other local businesses and feature those partners in all of our operations. This cafe will deliver that same approach featuring our coffee roasting partners out of Belleville, Illinois,” said 9 Mile Garden co-creator Brian Hardesty in a statement.
The cafe will be open from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. every day of the week. 9 Mile Garden said it should be in place by the end of May. See 9milegarden.com for more details.
