Denver s newest cafe on wheels, the Green Bus Cafe, will hit the streets beginning Saturday, February 20. After months of hard work by owner Dustin Croniser to outfit a 1976 Volkswagen microbus, he s ready to start serving up vegan drinks and food around Denver.
Croniser s take on a food truck started as a side project to his full-time career as a traveling A/V technician for live events. I’ve always been attracted to food, he says. I love to cook and had an affinity for VW buses; they re nostalgic to me.
Croniser purchased the bus in North Carolina in February 2020 and immediately got to work turning it into a mobile cafe with an entirely plant-based menu. He named his project the Green Bus Cafe because of the plant-based menu and because the VW uses alternative fuel. Combine that with the bus s original bright-green paint job, and the Green Bus Cafe practically named itself.
