Innovative, Gutsy, Will It Draw A Coffee Crowd? Modern Coffee's Coffee Container!

Say what you will about food trucks, but it is a fact that there should be more coffee trucks in the Bay Area. Here’s something along those lines, kinda.
In Oakland, Modern Coffee is teaming up with its neighbors Arcsine Architecture to create the Coffee Container, a “mobile brew bar” built into a 20-foot shipping container.
It’s anticipated to take a parking space on 13th Street, directly in between Modern Coffee and Arcsine, right smack on street. Unlike trucks, the Coffee Container will be big enough to have room for customers; they anticipate the box — or boxes like it — will be able to make appearances around town, around markets, etc.
If all goes to plan, they’re hoping to unveil it on Park(ing) Day 2011, which takes place in September. Until then, feast your eyes on the very cool early sketches of the Coffee Container, including the sidewalk window, bicycle pick-up window, floorplan, and more.

Modern Coffee: 411 13th Street, near Franklin, Oakland; (510) 835-8000 or @moderncoffee
