Nice little spot where there's not much else around so its super convenient. Finally stopped by for an iced cold brew and it was really good. Great friendly service, would definitely stop by again. It's a trailer in the parking lot of the Willow Grove church, you can't miss it.

Such a cool little local spot! Feels great to give my money to a young entrepreneur instead of a big brand coffee place. Come check this place out!

I stopped at this cute coffee truck yesterday. I have to say it was the best latte I have had in forever! I got the brown sugar cinnamon latte. The service was fast and so friendly. I highly recommend Godwit Coffee!!

They opened up recently and I couldn’t be anymore happier! It’s the perfect location. A cute little coffee truck on the side of the road? I mean come on!! What a genius idea. Usually I stop by after my son’s soccer games. Coffee for myself and hot chocolate for the kiddos. One of the best pumpkin spiced lattes I’ve had!

This is the cutest little roadside coffee stop! Coffee was great and service was excellent! How did he get in that tiny trailer? How does he get out? Crazy!

SO good! I got four shots of espresso iced with oat foam on top. Great service and such an adorable trailer/food truck. Would choose this over any chain coffee shop any day, coffee was top notch!

We love having Godwit Coffee in our neighborhood. The owners are very nice and get your orders done quickly. The coffee is delicious and I love how they have seasonal offerings, that's usually what I get, when we go. While food is not their focus, they do have a few offerings to go along with your coffee if you want. My only criticism is that I wish they had a larger size of the "large" coffee. Its not very big and I go through it too fast.

Went on a rainy Saturday morning. They setup an awning to help with the weather. We enjoyed the 2 seasonal lattes and also ordered 2 croissants. Everything was made to order so it was a bit of a wait but worth it. The lattes were nice and smooth and croissants were warmed and toasty. Will definitely stop by again!
