What's Kape espresso Tayo?

Kape espresso Tayo means "Let's have Coffee" in the Tagalog language. Kape espresso Tayo is a local family owned mobile coffee truck established in 2020. They are one of the first moving coffee trucks in the state of Alaska. Usually, Kape espresso Tayo brings the coffee shop to you at local events and gatherings, but now they are adding the management of the Coffee Shop at the zoo to their portfolio!
