🍓 From Gelati to Crepe's – Converting an existing Gelati Cart into a Crepe Cart

Posted By Tom Neivandt on

At Melbourne Made Coffee Cart Furniture, we specialise in turning visions into mobile service reality — and our latest project was the perfect example of that.

🎯 The Goal:

Take an existing gelati cart and convert it into a fully operational crêpe cart, ready for markets, festivals, and pop-up events.

The client wanted a cart that could serve hot, made-to-order crêpes with ease, while still maintaining the charm and portability of their existing setup.


 

🔧 The Process

Turning a cart built for cold desserts into one designed for a hotplate and active cooking takes a little creativity and a lot of craftsmanship.

Here’s what we did:

✅ Reinforced the Frame & Bench Space

Crêpe-making requires a strong, heat-safe bench to support heavy-duty crêpe plates. We reinforced the structure and created a durable workspace that could handle the heat (literally).

✅ Installed Commercial-Grade Crêpe Plates

We integrated high-quality electric crêpe makers directly into the countertop, ensuring perfect temperature control for consistent cooking.

✅ Upgraded Power & Ventilation

We updated the power system to safely run heating equipment and added hidden ventilation to manage steam and cooking heat — without compromising the cart’s aesthetic.

✅ Added Storage & Prep Features

New built-in storage compartments were added for batter, toppings, utensils, and cleaning gear — making it easy for staff to work efficiently in any setting.

✅ Custom Branding & Finishing Touches

Finally, we gave the cart a fresh new look with the client’s branding, making it not only functional but eye-catching and on-brand.

The client first found us through seeing one of our Coffee Carts on display at a local cafe. They then contacted us to refurbish their current uni.

🎉 The Result?

A one-of-a-kind, fully mobile crêpe cart that stands out at events and makes cooking fresh, delicious crêpes fast, easy, and stylish.
