South West residents Mark and Shelley Balinski have established Pronto Cino—the renowned “red coffee van” located at the Slippery Rocks carpark in Yallingup—as an institution for locals and tourists. The red van is recognised for its welcoming service and high-quality coffee, complemented by scenic views of Yallingup Bay. Their little business is now trading in its 20th year.
The business name combines two Italian-derived words:
Pronto: In Italian, this word most commonly means “ready” or “promptly”.
Cino: A shortened form of cappuccino. It refers to the core product of the business: coffee.
Pronto Cino‘s revised trading hours are from Friday to Monday between 6:00 am and 12:00 noon.
