This lil’ leprechaun dishes up culinary delights for those on the go ,m-f , early morning through lunch. The coffee is rich ,Bold and the perfect temperature. Delicious Bacon & Egg rolls or the delectable and now world famous chicken schnitzel or Bacon/egg/Sausage wraps are presented practically and promptly for the swiftest and most satisfying breakfast around .. You do (unfortunately) have to put up with this cheeky lil’ potato and his smart ass comments ,though not for long with friendly staff offering light speed service during peak hours ..

Awesome little Coffee Van. Dennis is always cheery and ready to serve. All your normal cafe van items, pies and sausage roll, pastry items and really good bacon rolls, nice fresh buns and we'll cooked good quality bacon. Coffee here can be Irish coffee but I find the standard latte and cappuccino very good, nice rounded well made coffee. This is a very easy spot to peel off Hogbin Dr and huge parking. Try it if you are traveling, just get off the Hwy, onto Hogbin Dr and it's at the big roundabout at Albany St.

The top bloke in the van whipped up some solid food. I had the vego burger and the thing was solid and the coffee was class. When I'm back in Coffs, I'll endeavour to grab another feed here. Thanks mate
