Sat on the corner of Cooper and Orchard Street in Taralga you will find a little black van. Inside are two bubbly ladies serving up coffee and the very best Cinnamon donuts we’ve ever tasted. They were made to order and both generous in size and light and fluffy. We couldn’t stop at just one each. Six donuts were $8, which we thought was really reasonable pricing. Thanks ladies. We will definitely be recommending you to anyone we know passing through.

Amy at The Coffee Palette in Taralga is a star. Firstly the vintage caravan is on point and super cute, but the hot cinnamon donuts on the weekends are the best I've ever had and are absolute winners. Not to mention the toasties, daily specials and gorgeous cupcakes and other sweet treats. You're gonna love everything on the menu. It's located on the main street in Taralga near the Sports Club at the end of town or beginning of town depending on which way you are travelling. Not only is Amy a fantastic barista, but she is also an incredibly talented artist and one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Stop by, say hello to Amy and her little team, you won't regret it. The Coffee Palette is open everyday except Wednesdays.

My favourite is the weekend donuts, oh wait and the roast beef and gravy roll or the toasties and not to mention the coffee made just the way you like it. If you’re travelling through Taralga it’s definitely worth the stop and even to get your doggo a puppychino

I'm not going to lie! After spending a weekend down the road at Abercrombie ridge with friends our hosts suggested we pick up a coffee and donut from the The Coffee Palette. A cute little retro fitted caravan serving coffee and food by the side of road on the southern side of Taralga. Right, I'm coming straight out with it - " Best Donuts in New South Wales " maybe even Australia! My friends will back me on this. These warm rounded pillows are are so light and fluffy, when encrusted with the cinnamon sugar a party on the first bite is created. It's that scene from when Harry met Sally going off in your mouth O ohhh argh. Also the coffee was amazing. Service and Atmosphere is fun with the girls in the van providing wonderful banter and country hospitality charm to the conversations as they prepare your coffee and donuts.
