Exploring Life & Business with Brook Triolo of Brook’s cafe

Today we’d like to introduce you to Brook Triolo.

Hi Brook, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
After working in a very well known coffee corporation for over 7 years & managing a team of over 40; I started to feel as if I was replaceable and didn’t feel valued there. So I started dreaming & planning on what my ideal coffee experience would be. A few months later I was presented the opportunity to open a brick and mortar cafe with an acquaintance & I poured everything I had into getting it open only for a year later it being ripped from me from a deceitful business partner. In dealing with this, I had learned how to be resilient and to not give up on my dreams. I thank God for giving me the husband that he did because he was able to completely remodel a used and beat up vintage trailer from Facebook marketplace and turn it into a beautiful coffee trailer that is now fully permitted and ready to serve my handcrafted recipes!

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
No, it has been anything but a smooth road. I had poured everything I had physically, mentally, & financially into creating this dream of mine (twice). The first cafe was ripped from but it didn’t break me. I thank God for giving me the resilience to keep going & my husband for believing in me enough to keep my dream alive.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
I am a mobile coffee trailer specializing in handcrafted beverages, homeade pastries & organic acai bowls!
We are ready to cater annd customize any event you may have and specialize in weddings, school functions, little league tournaments & work meetings! We are based in east county but are happy to travel to you!
I pride myself on being a bit of a coffee snob, which translates into getting one of the best cups of coffee you will ever try!

How do you think about happiness?
People & coffee!
I love what I do because I love interacting with people & getting to know them. Every single person has a story to tell, and I am so fortunate to be given this opportunity to hear them. I want to make people feel seen & valued while also handing them a cup of joy.
