WE ARE CATHY'S CAFES
We're a sustainably-powered, community-driven food and beverage company on a mission to bring Long Island's local neighborhoods closer together.
We operate a fleet of zero-emission mobile carts and trucks that enable us to provide high quality coffee, pastries, pizza, and more to convenient, grab-and-go locations, all with an extremely limited carbon and physical footprint.

OUR STORY
Cathy’s Cafes is inspired by Cathy Turner, the mother and friend of co-founders, Tom Turner and Matt Gonyon.
Cathy was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2007 and lost mobility in her legs shortly thereafter. Over the years and despite her diagnosis, Cathy dedicated her life to helping others. Most notably, she created a charity known as ‘Blankets Warming Hearts’ in which she organized and collected blankets and donated them to local hospitals, nursing homes, and rehabilitation centers, cultivating a community to help those in need.
In the spirit of Cathy’s courage, generosity, creativity, and entrepreneurship, our mission is as follows:
To bring communities closer together through the power of great food and great people, inspiring empathy and compassion along the way.
