Dutch MobiCcino has turned Piaggio three-wheel scooters into beautifully designed mobile coffee bars with high-end espresso machines (Kees van der Westen's Mirage is an object of desire for many a barista), and fold-out stainless steel bars that allow customers to enjoy their cappuccinos while they're still frothy.
Now, a mobile coffee cart is nothing new, but one that is designed to the nines, offers superior quality coffee and an outdoor bar experience, definitely isn't run of the mill. MobicCino caters to events like the North Sea Jazz Festival, goes beachside in the summer, and has a bar parked in front of the main Dutch government buildings most weekdays. Expansion plans are ambitious: MobicCino hopes to have 1,000 mobile bars on the streets of Holland within 5 years. Next: Sao Paulo, New York, London? Set it up now and sell for millions to Starbucks or Costa Coffee three years from now. ;-)

Dear Fan and Colin:
Springwise.com is a daily publication that discusses interesting new business ideas from around the world. We just publish the ideas, and don't actually represent any of the brands mentioned on the site.
Our best tip to you would be to get in touch directly with MobiCcino and ask whether they are interested in expanding to your regions.
Best regards,
Michell

Hi Carl, Phil and Milan,
Please contact http://www.mobiccino.com to get more info about pricing and distribution. We're an online publication that wrote about Mobiccino, so we're not actually affiliated with the company.

This idea is already so old and there is no next London because it is there already since 1999
During my internship in London in the summer of that year we had a man that vended coffee on the street from a 3-wheeled Vespa with a espresso machine in it.
It was in the area of Brick lane next to Spitalfields Market.
More people liked it given the reaction then on the Internet
Again not a brilliant Dutch business idea but a late adaptor from the Netherlands. just like (Grapedistrict)
