Culinary Craft on wheels that blends authentic flavors with a modern twist

April 26, 2024

If you’re looking for a unique, flavorful coffee and churro experience, food truck, Cafe Azul, is definitely worth checking out. Located near Westshore Pizza, this cozy food truck offers a fusion of Italian and Mexican flavors that will leave your taste buds wanting more.

One of the main draws of the menu is the coffee selection, which can be ordered hot or iced and comes in a variety of delicious flavors, such as dulce de leche, horchata, and dirty chai. Whether you’re in the mood for dark and rich coffee or sweet churros, there’s something here that will satisfy your taste buds. The churro menu is equally impressive, featuring bite-sized churros paired with a range of tasty dipping sauces that will keep you coming back for more.

Aside from the coffee and churros, Cafe Azul also offers classic Mexican drink like toasted hot cocoa, horchata and Jarritos. If you’re looking for something to warm you up on a chilly day, the hot cocoa is definitely worth trying. It’s rich, creamy and has just the right amount of sweetness.

During my visit, I decided to order the classic churros. An order of their warm, crispy churros tossed in a delicious cinnamon sugar coating with the dipping sauce of dulce de leche it was so good and had an amazing crispy crunch. The churros were perfectly coated and were like a flavor bomb in my moth combined with the dulche du leche.

I also ordered the horchata a Mexican classic that is made with their family recipe made in-house from scratch. A traditional refreshing drink made of cinnamon, milk and rice water. I love the drink because you could most definitely tell that it was made from scratch it was smooth and had the right amount of sweetness and cinnamon. It was really refreshing and went perfectly with the churros.

Overall for me Cafe Azul is a great spot for a quick coffe and treat on the go. The fusion of Mexican and Italian flavors is unique and definietly worth trying espically if you’re a fan of churros. With friendly staff, amazing staff, and a cozy atmosphere it’s a great place to stop by and relax for a little while.

About the Contributor

Whittaley Bowden, Senior Staff Writer

Whittaley Bowden is a senior at Robinson and a senior staff writer for Knight Writers. This is her second year on staff. Bowden grew up in a multicultural household, so in her free time, she enjoys cooking lots of different foods. She has moved past baking as she has grown older and has started to experiment with her own creations and new food trends that she has seen on social media. This reflects her favorite section to write, which is multimedia, specifically MidKnight snacks. “I started getting into cooking because I just loved to explore new food and make my own recipes to enjoy," Bowden said. Bowden is very involved with Robinson and in many different clubs and extracurriculars. One of these clubs is Future Health Care Professionals of America (FHCPA), where she is the secretary. Aside from all her extracurriculars, Bowden really enjoys listening to music and has a very broad taste indulging in multiple genres such as Afro beats, K-pop and a little alternative music. “I've been really into Afro beats recently because it seems to be the big thing over this summer,” Bowden said. Bowden has really been thinking about her future recently especially since her time at Robinson is coming to an end. She has said she wants to continue her education at a college either in-state at the University of South Florida (USF) or out-of-state at the University of Georgia (UGA). "I would definitely want to major in biomedical science because I have always loved science class in school," Bowden said. Profile by Sofia Scott
