Carnralla is a nice little cafe on the wheels. It seems to be run by a family. The boy, Mitchell who served us was very sweet and well spoken. He helped a customer bring her coffees to her car as she was having difficulty carrying it. Keep up the good work. Jamie made such lovely coffees too. Please do stop if you're around the area.

Their handmade sausage rolls and egg and bacon rolls are amazing. It doesn't matter who's running the van as they're always friendly and make good coffee that gets the road trip done! 10/10 I would recommend.

A real lil gem of a place. Great little set up, lots of options to choose from, very friendly and inviting staff. The coffee is amazing. The lady made a few errors with taking my order and I was offered the missed coffee for free in the end, I declined and paid, everyone makes errors in life. Definitely a stop to add for a great coffee. Worth the stop.
