Local specialty coffee roasting company Snake River Roasting Co. is taking its exceptional coffee on the road this summer and fall with its new coffee trailer, affectionately named “Little Red.” This mobile coffee cart makes appearances at community events, bringing the spirit of adventure and high-quality coffee to locals and visitors alike.
A Summer of Coffee Adventures
The journey for Little Red started on June 17, when the refurbished trailer made its debut at the Outdoor Retailer Summer show in Salt Lake City. Following this successful launch, the coffee trailer’s first local appearance was at the Jackson Hole Food & Wine Summer Fest. Ever since, the response from coffee consumers has been overwhelmingly positive, and Snake River Roasting Co. is eager to continue its mission of fueling life’s adventures with premium coffee roasted at 6,200 feet.
Look for Little Red:
Jackson Hole Farmers Market: Every Saturday through Sept. 28, find Little Red on the Town Square from 8:00 a.m. to noon, serving up delicious coffee drinks.
The People’s Market: Every Wednesday through Sept. 25, enjoy coffee drinks at this vibrant market that celebrates local growers, producers and artisans.

More Than Just Coffee
Little Red is not just about serving coffee. It features a La Marzocco espresso machine and offers a variety of espresso-based drinks, including an espresso martini made with Snake River Roasting Co.’s award-winning White Spider espresso blend and Jackson Hole Still Works vodka. At select events, you can also enjoy huckleberry orangeade and delicious empanadas from Branding Iron in Bondurant, Wyoming.
Collaborations with Local Businesses
Further ingratiating Snake River Roasting Co. in the Jackson Hole community is its collaborative coffee blends with local businesses. Be on the lookout for these while visiting local shops and businesses:
MADE and Mountain Dandy: Each store has its custom blend crafted in partnership with Snake River Roasting Co. John Frechette and Christian Burch, the owners of MADE, Mursell’s and Mountain Dandy, participated in tastings to create the perfect blend for their shops, each with unique tastes and specific notes. Meanwhile, local artist Haley Leeper designed beautiful labels to capture the essence of each company. MADE’s custom Monty Blend is a medium roast featuring tasting notes of family vacations, sloshies on String Lake and artisanal jam. Mountain Dandy’s Gentleman’s Blend is a dark roast with tasting notes of Old Pass Road, navy blazer and smoked negroni.
Kemo Sabe: A new custom collaboration for Snake River Roasting Co., Kemo Sabe is a western apparel and hat shop in downtown Jackson that serves espresso-based drinks to shoppers.
Poppy: It seems especially fitting that the new collaborative workspace and social club was looking to partner with Snake River Roasting Co. on a coffee collaboration. Again, the custom collaboration is served at the workspace, while the coffee’s label features a cute, vibrant label designed by Haley Leeper.
Jackson Hole Whitewater: For the second year, Snake River Roasting Co. has partnered with the rafting company for Paddle’s Up, a summer seasonal coffee blend. For each bag sold, Snake River Roasting Co. donates $2 to support the Snake River Fund.
