Cafe Continental

Coffee with a smile and that rare personal touch.
Visit Paul at his vintage van for superb coffee, a tasty treat and maybe the odd jazz tune on the record player. I love popping by (when I’m not running late for work) for a quick chat and much needed caffeine hit!

Café continental is a quirky van (vintage van not chip style van) parked up each week day at Blackstaff Square, in behind the Crown Bar/Robinson’s, and is owned and manned by the lovely Paul Vickery.
Come rain or shine Paul will be there to greet you with a smile and provide some much needed coffee and pastries — always a good start to the day.
The coffee is always piping hot, expertly made and definitely worth a minutes wait on the way to work. Go often enough and Paul will know your order without asking — I am a massive sucker for the personal touch!
Register your name with Paul and every 6^th coffee is free which is much better than any chain store. You don’t even need to remember a loyalty card as Paul registers each person on his system. :)
The van can also be hired for occasions such as parties or weddings, adding that different touch to your special day.
Mostly I love to support local businesses and local people and I would encourage you to do the same!
