POV: making myself a banana bread latte in the truck 🍌
This is syrup #5 from our fall menu - banana bread with brown sugar cold foam. Tastes like actual banana bread.
Homemade with 2 ripe bananas, dark brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon + nutmeg. It’s officially on the fall menu, so latte or matcha all season long.
Recipe for the syrup is over on my personal page Laura Weaver | Coffee Truck Owner + Time Saver if you want to make it at home.

If you’re new here — hi, we’re Railway Express Coffee. 👋

We’re a 1930’s Railway Express truck that was rusted out in a field, and a small-town family who thought “what if that became a coffee shop where people could actually slow down and talk about real life?”

So my husband and I spent a year grinding, power washing, painting, and turning it into what you see today.

We didn’t just want to serve good coffee (though we do). We wanted to build a little front porch for our town. A place to run into your neighbor, to talk about faith, family, and what’s actually going on.

If you like quality coffee, real conversation, and rooting for small towns — you’ll fit right in here. Follow along?

We’re in Santo, TX — open Tuesday-Saturday 7am-12pm. Come sit with us this week.

We stopped buying the $9 bottle.
This is the vanilla we pour every day at the truck — water, sugar, brown sugar, Mexican vanilla. Costs about 40 cents to make.

Customers swear it tastes better than Starbucks, and honestly? It does.
Recipe is pinned in comments. Stores in fridge 2 weeks.

What syrup should we drop next? 👇

The BEST pumpkin spice syrup - and yes, this is the one we use in the shop 🎃☕️

We make it in-house with real pumpkin, not the fake stuff.

Yields 1.5 cups:
• 1 1/4 cups water
• 1/3 cup pumpkin puree (we use Libby’s 100% Pure)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1 tsp vanilla- we love Molina Mexican Vanilla Blend

How to:
Combine everything in a small saucepan, bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisk constantly for 5 minutes until sugar dissolves and it thickens slightly. Remove from heat, let cool, stir in vanilla. Store in an airtight bottle/jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Make it at home or come let us make you one - we’re pouring it all season long.

What syrup should we share next?

Welcome to week one of Behind the Brew! ☕✨
I get asked so many great questions while standing at the machine every day, so I’m starting a brand-new series to answer them right here.

We’re kicking things off with the single most common question I hear: “What are you drinking today?”
Here’s the daily routine: I am strictly a two-coffee-a-day person, and I almost never drink the same thing twice in one day.

Morning coffee is all about setting the tone for the rush—usually something bold, rich, and espresso-forward to wake up the senses. By the time I make my second drink later on, I like to switch it up completely—maybe a handcrafted iced specialty drink, a new syrup recipe test, or a smooth, subtle blend depending on what season we’re in.

Now, I want to hear from you! What’s something you’ve always wondered about our drinks, setup, or menu?
Drop your questions in the comments below, and let me know what I should answer next week! 👇
