MOTM's Story

Our Story

A little bit about us, our humble beginnings and where we're headed.

The heart behind Mocha on the Move® began with a simple question: how can great coffee meet people where they are? More than 10 years ago, the idea started with the thought of serving fresh coffee through mobile delivery — bringing handcrafted drinks directly to families, workers, churches, schools, and community gatherings across Texas.

What began as a van-based coffee concept slowly grew into something of a grander-scale. You see, the original vision was never just about selling coffee quickly. It was about creating a warm, familiar experience that could move with the rhythm of everyday life.

Mocha on the Move® was shaped by a desire to do something meaningful in Texas communities. The goal was to create a coffee brand that felt personal, welcoming, and connected to real people.

From the beginning, the idea was rooted in more than convenience — it was about building a brand that could support busy mornings, meaningful conversations, local partnerships, and everyday moments of connection.

“Mocha on the Move® grew out of a need to do positive things in Texas communities.”

That belief continues to guide the brand today as we prepare to serve the cities of Fate, Denton and Austin, Texas.

Darrian Kendall

Founder & Visionary, Mocha on the Move®

Darrian Kendall has spent more than 10 years building the vision behind Mocha on the Move®. As a former local law enforcement officer and early morning riser, what started as a passion for drinking coffee WITH the community brought a compassion for bringing quality coffee directly TO the community—shaping a vision into something much larger; a full coffee shop experience coming to Fate, TX Spring 2027 and rooted with hospitality, connection, and purpose.

Darrian, along with several of his friends and colleagues believe that coffee is more than just a 'pep-up to your day'. It is a reason to pause, connect, and feel at home — wherever you are. In fact, many mornings lead to getting coffee to perk them up to keep them alert in their job. That belief has shaped every decision behind Mocha on the Move®. From our friendly campus mobile delivery or catering service concept to the permanent cafe now fully scoped and soon to come to Fate, Texas.

“We don’t just want to sell great coffee. We want to build something that genuinely serves and uplifts the people and communities around us.”
