The Ursa Minor Coffee truck can be found in the food-truck Lot at 51 Coxe Ave., near the bus terminal. Though the truck serves excellent espresso drinks, we’re also particularly partial to the tom kha iced tea, a nod to the flavors of one of the best soups in the world.
No, it doesn’t contain chicken soda (isn’t that a Primus album?). It does, however, boast the flavors of Thailand with a lemongrass simple syrup (made with cane sugar), real coconut milk, lime juice and iced black tea.
Trying to go caffeine-free? Eli Masem, food-truck pilot and your friendly neighborhood go-juice dealer, says that Ursa Minor also offers homemade ginger Italian sodas. Talk about refreshing.
