I saw the coolest looking coffee truck while takin I saw the coolest looking coffee truck while taking my boys to baseball the other day, so yesterday morning I stopped by for a cup! It’s called @extractionspecialtycoffee! I got a really good caramel macchiato, met the owner whose name is Roman (what a cool name), figured out that he knows my girl @chelseymcmillen_realtor, and also figured out that @brianleefuente’s business @aerobuildco in Nashville crafted his trailer! So much small world goodness!

@extractionspecialtycoffee is parked in front of @magnoliapickleball for the time being and is open 6am until 1pm Monday through Saturday! Check them out and let me know what you think! 🤩
