Make Your Next Cup Your Best Cup

At That Black Coffee Cart, we believe in the power of a great cup of coffee to create a sense of belonging. After spending years in a college town where coffee was more than just a drink—it was part of the daily rhythm of life—I brought that experience back home to East St. Louis. Here, in a city where great coffee is rare, we’ve made it our mission to provide something better. Make Your Next Cup Your Best Cup isn’t just a slogan; it’s a promise to everyone who walks up to our cart. Whether you’re in need of a quick pick-me-up or looking for a moment of comfort, we’re here to serve you a cup that helps you start your day the right way.

As a Black-owned business in a predominantly Black city, That Black Coffee Cart is more than just about serving coffee; it’s about creating a space that reflects the spirit and heart of East St. Louis. We’re here to offer something different—a place where local culture is celebrated, where you feel welcomed, and where each cup is crafted with pride. We want you to leave every visit with more than just great coffee; we want you to leave feeling connected, inspired, and ready to take on your day with the best cup in hand.
