Do you have a tight knit group of coworkers you feel carries the burden of the office? Do you manage a badass team of hard-working people and you can never think of new ways to show your appreciation? or Do you hate everyone you spend 25%+ of your week with? (been there)

Grab some killer f*n coffee from us to jumpstart everyone’s day TOGETHER. Some of the most enjoyable, personable, and productive conversations I had in my previous career were spent over coffee. Don’t underestimate it.

We’ve got almost everything you’d expect from a brick & mortar cafe, one-of-a-kind signature drinks, fresh local pastries, good vibes, and bad brains.

*our menu & schedule can be found in our highlights & posted on our feed

*online ordering is not yet available. We are a small operation and not staffed to manage multiple large orders that may roll in at the same time. Interested in doing a larger order for pickup? DM here or email [email protected] and we’ll get it on the schedule to get you hooked up!

Final week of 15% hoodies, long sleeves, and beanies. Stock is running low on hoodies and beanies for this year. Favorite comment on our merch so far: “feels like I’m getting merch at a show”. 🤘🏼 that’s the vibe we’re aiming for.

Come by this month for a brand new seasonal Spring menu, snag 15% off our cold weather merch (beanies, hoodies, & long sleeves from the 1st-15th), & bring a friend so we can recruit more misfits to the Bad Brain club.

One of the toughest parts of opening Bad Brain as a mobile concept was knowing I’d be contributing to waste. 🚮 With a little over 6 months open now, I am ready to take a few actions to start limiting our footprint. Also listing a few things already in place for those interested 👇🏼

Curious why we don’t just use the cups labeled “compostable”?…Hate to break it to ya, but they are very misleading. Those are typically only compostable at limited industrial facilities, which means they need to be sent off. Those are NOT home compostable nor are they recyclable. They create issues both in recycling facilities and landfills.

🔜 Peep the flyer. If you are a regular, I’d love to get you in our bring back program. This won’t solve the problem, but it’s a step forward. Available first week of March.

🔜 Composting 100% of our spent coffee grounds. Looking for the best option for this. If anyone has suggestions or knows a farmer/gardener - let us know! Looking to implement next month or ASAP if we find the right partner.

♻️ Our plastic cups/lids are already recyclable - just give them a rinse. We also opted for sipper lids to limit straw use. In 7.5 months, we’ve gone through less than 450 straws.👏

🐢 For the straws we do go through, they are marine biodegradable, recyclable, & home compostable.

💧 Bad Brain runs off a water tank mounted under the trailer. We are forced to be mindful of any unnecessary water usage each day.

⛽️ We have been so incredibly lucky to partner with as our primary pop up location. This allows us to greatly limit our generator usage which cuts back on our emissions (& on my back pain).

Thanks for coming to my TED talk. 🫡

Stocked up on some more misc punk (and punk adjacent) pins, stickers, and patches. We’ll have them out to peruse when the weather is treating us well.

Approx 100 different band pins in the bowl + some other genres mixed in there as well (scroll ➡️).
