A mobile shop selling coffee and ceramic pieces has been parked at the Campus Center Mall for students and community members.
The mobile shop is called Little Lamb, and it was created by Ryan Lagasse. The truck is available from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays at the Campus Center Mall.
The shop was opened in 2020 as a way to join two hobbies she enjoyed and share it with others.
“During COVID-19 was when the idea for the bus evolved and I wanted to combine my love for coffee with the ceramics that I love to make,” Lagasse said.
A wide variety of iced and hot coffee and tea are available on the menu. A few items are ginger spiced chai and blood orange espresso tonic. Classic coffees are also available such as latte, macchiato and Americano. Iced drinks are an added 50 cents.
Different milks are available for these drinks including whole and 2% milk, as well as two milk alternatives, oat and almond. Milk alternatives do not have an extra charge.
“The No. 1 most common milk is oat milk,” Lagasse said.
Lagasse also said when she started the mobile shop she did not carry whole milk and was surprised by such a heavy demand for it.
Aside from drinks, the shop also has baked goods such as ham and cheese croissants, coffee cake, sprinkle donuts, etc. The pastries are not made by Lagasse. She partners with Gemini Bakehouse.
“Every morning I wake up at 4 and then I pick up the pastries at 5, so it’s fresh every day,” Lagasses said.
The Gemini Bakehouse is also a small business that opened during COVID-19, which Lagasse said she enjoys.
The coffee and clay truck wouldn’t be complete without the ceramic pieces. Many items are available, including mugs, bowls and even candle holders. These items are made by Lagasse, and take a couple weeks to complete.
While items are available on campus, the selection is available on the website. The coffee truck’s menu is also available there as well Little Lamb.
