Early one rainy, morning in August, a strange site rolled into the spot at the Sarasota Farmer's Market where the Java Dawg Coffee Cart usually sits. Mouths fell open, cell phones were ripped from pockets, and cameras started appearing everwhere. The Java Dawg Double Decker Coffee Shop Bus was officially unveiled.
As more people started showing up at the market for their Saturday Morning coffee and other market purchases, more people lingered around the restored and remolded 1978 English Double Decker Bus. As people stepped into the bus to prepare their coffee or climbe the circular staircase for a bird's eye view of the market, it was clear that Sarasota had a new tourist attraction and that coffee shop history had been made.
Below are some of the many news stories which have since been posted.
