Cedric’s Coffee Truck donates 100% of their tips to local dog rescues. Owners and married couple Erin Ortegon and Sergio Arrieta decided at the beginning to donate their tips to a different local rescue organization every month. ⁠
⁠
Cedric’s Coffee Truck is open every Saturday at 12th and Edgefield from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. “I think we’ve carved out a really unique space that is not Bishop Arts, not quite Elmwood, not quite like Illinois or Kiest or anything like that. It’s just this really sweet spot where there’s not a whole lot of like restaurants or commercial spaces, and so we’ve been very well received,” Ortegon says. ⁠
⁠
“We kind of started thinking about, ‘Well, what would that look like?’ and building out a business plan and figuring out, ‘Will they even let us sell their coffee? So we reached out to Wild Gift, and they said yes, and we went down there and did a full coffee tasting. And so while we were doing all that, we were also figuring out, ‘Do we want a brick-and-mortar shop, or do we want a coffee truck?’” Ortegon says. Coming from San Antonio and Austin, where food trucks are very popular, they decided to pick the latter, and Cedric’s Coffee Truck opened in April 2024.⁠
