OUR STORY
Coffee for busy lives.
What started as a simple idea in college – a need for quality coffee to fuel endless study sessions – became On the Run Coffee Bar. Watching people skip good coffee because their days were too hectic sparked the vision for a battery-powered coffee bar that brings exceptional coffee to wherever you are.
Today you’ll find us in two places: inside Emily’s Garden in Fort Lauderdale, and inside DHL Express Headquarters in Plantation. Our mobile spirit lives on, too – we bring the bar to private and corporate events.
Every cup is made with purpose: traceable beans, clean electric power, and always a smile.
MEET THE OWNER
Bertha Hurtado
Born and raised in Lima, Peru, Bertha Hurtado’s journey from forensic anthropologist to coffee entrepreneur is as rich and bold as the coffee she serves. After moving to San Francisco for college, where she met her husband, Bertha pursued graduate studies in Forensic Anthropology and went on to build a successful career in Florida.
Now a proud mom of two boys, Bertha decided to pour her passion for coffee and her drive for innovation into a new venture – On the Run Coffee Bar, a fully battery-powered mobile coffee bar. Combining her love for great coffee with a commitment to sustainability and convenience, Bertha created a café experience that goes beyond the cup, bringing exceptional coffee to community pop-ups, private events, and everyday moments.
With each cup, Bertha’s mission is clear: serve coffee with purpose, spread joy, and make every sip unforgettable.
Coffee with purpose, from the farm to your cup.

Coffee Sourcing
