Our cart is coming to town

Cozy sips & baked goods

Three names ride on the cart — Red Boy Red Eye for the coffee, When Life Gives You Lemons for the lemonade, and Brown Sugar Betty's for everything that comes out of the oven. All of it runs on the same house brown sugar simple syrup.

What we're pouring

Red Boy Red Eye

The Red Eye

$8

Cold brew with a shot in it

Cold brew steeped overnight with a shot of espresso dropped in — that's what a red eye is, and it's named for Augustus, the Dogue de Bordeaux this company was founded on. The one to order when the day started early.

Red Boy Red Eye

Straight Cold Brew

$8

Smooth, low bitterness, changes with the season

Slow-steeped overnight for a rounder, less bitter cup, then finished with whatever the season calls for. Ask what we're pouring — it won't always be the same.

Brown Sugar Betty's

Iced Brown Sugar Latte

$8

The one everything is built around

Espresso and cold milk over ice, sweetened the slow way — with our own brown sugar simple syrup, cooked down in the same kitchen as the cookies. No pumps, no powder, no bottled mix.

When Life Gives You Lemons

Fresh-Squeezed Lemonade

$8

Squeezed that morning, never from concentrate

Real lemons, squeezed the day of, and the same brown sugar simple syrup instead of plain sugar water. It comes out rounder and a little caramel-sweet — closer to old-fashioned lemonade than the neon kind.

Brown Sugar Betty's

Daily Baked Treats

$3 – $5

Whatever came out of the oven that morning

Cookies, bars, and small treats baked fresh the day of and brought along with the cart. When they're gone, they're gone.

More on the menu soon — we're still building it out.

All three wear well, too — the hoodies are in the shop.

Where we'll be

Nothing on the books just yet

How booking works

  • A 50% deposit books the date. The balance is due the day of the event.
  • Dates are held on a first-come basis — the deposit is what reserves it.
  • Cancel 14 or more days out and the deposit is fully refunded.
  • Final guest count is due one week before the event.
  • We serve the greater Austin area. Further out is usually still a yes — just ask.

Tell us the date, the headcount, and the vibe — we'll put together a quote.
