Aperitivo Food Truck: Mobile bar and cafe launches in Vancouver

Vancouver is big on food trucks, and it looks like the city has a new one to check out. Aperitivo Food Truck, the city’s first mobile “bar and cafe” concept, has officially launched.

The new truck will be roaming around town this summer setting up shop at various farmers’ markets and community events where you can find it serving bites like charcuterie and olives and sips from its full coffee bar.

Aperitivo can also be booked for private celebrations and is able to serve alcohol like cocktails, beer, and wine at licensed and permitted events.

This new concept-on-wheels is brought to us by Kelly and Yasmin McKenzie, who currently own and operate Melt City, Mom’s Grilled Cheese, and Green Coast Coffee food truck.

The pair actually went to Italy to wine, dine, and do research on the perfect apertif experience ahead of this launch.
