You can’t miss it – the bold yellow van, the scent of freshly ground beans in the air, and the signature grin of Mackay’s very own barista-on-wheels, Ben Fiegert. Behind the wheel and the espresso machine at Papa Ben’s Coffee Van is a man who gave up a long career in the mining industry to follow a passion that was percolating for years… coffee and community.
After 17 years of mining life, Ben made the bold decision to trade in the work boots and hi-vis for an apron and coffee beans. The motivation? More time with his three children, and a longing to serve the community he loves in a way that feels meaningful.
From that desire, Papa Ben’s Coffee Van was born.
Whether it’s your essential morning brew, a cheeky second coffee with lunch, or a caffeine boost at your next corporate or community event, Papa Ben’s Coffee Van delivers with heart.
The van is a regular at local markets, school fairs, smoko runs to local businesses, and private functions, including weddings, parties, and sporting events. No matter the setting, one thing never changes – Ben’s upbeat energy and warm approach that keeps customers coming back.
The coffee is top-notch, but there’s more brewing behind the counter than just espresso.
Papa Ben’s is also known for unique, mouth-watering menu items, none more beloved than the Biscoff Latte. What started as a promotional drink quickly became a customer favourite and a permanent fixture on the menu.
“The Biscoff Latte is hands down the most popular,” Ben explains.
Locally owned and operated, Papa Ben’s Coffee Van is the perfect example of a small business with a big heart.
And when he’s not fuelling the region with flat whites and friendly banter, Ben enjoys caravan holidays, movie nights with the kids, and making memories with family and friends.
From smoko stops to special occasions, Papa Ben’s Coffee Van is where quality coffee meets genuine connection.
