Moved to Geelong 2-years ago and had this place recommended to me by a friend...glad I didn't rush…read morein! First the positive - the building itself is a great historic building with exposed stone, down an alley in the cool part of town. Service from the staff was great, friendly and timely without being in your face. Now the problem - the food is underwhelming and over priced. We dined on Valentines day so were limited to the set menu, and while nothing was terrible - it was all just...average. The highlight was the sausage in the entre...I can't even remember the rest really. Will I try again...I am not sure...

King of the Castle is quite possibly my favourite cafe in all of Geelong. Located on Pakington…read morestreet, well and truly past all the other cafes in a weird warehouse-y area, King of the Castle is well worth the awkward trip. The space is set out over a huge block, with a large outdoor area covered in astro-turf and wooden pallets for seats and tables at it's entrance. Inside is spacious (think the absolute opposite of intimate. Don't come here for privacy/to break up with someone.) in fact, the space is so large that smaller businesses have pop-up stores inside. For the past while it has been an indoor plant seller, adding an exceptional touch of greenery to the space, however at the moment it is a local wine-maker. Coffee + wine = happiness. While I haven't yet eaten here, it seems most people pop in for a coffee rather than breakfast/lunch. Coffee is well and truly amazing and by Padre (yummo!) Also, King of the Castle is one of the few places open in Geelong on Christmas Day - this is important for Geelong ex-pats returning home for the holidays! Well worth a stop-in if you live/work/travel in the area.

Such a cool little find in Geelong! We had some trouble finding it out first time (you do not…read moreexpect it to be where it is) but there is a little logo on the outside of the warehouse/cafe. We had a group of 5 so we had to wait probably 20 minutes before being seated at the community table. Space is limited in here. It bugged me that there was a whole booth for 5/6 people completely empty (but reserved) and when the table did arrive there was only 3 of them.... Anyways!! The food was great! I got the vegan waffles with a matcha latte! Everyone in my group loved their food as well. And on an extra plus side they have Pana Chocolate goodies stocked here!!

Very simple menu and fun ! The set is easy to choices ! Perfect to have beer with at hot summer…read morenight! The foods is already very fresh!

When you are driving in North Geelong, I don't think you actually can picture this little cafe that…read moreyou find to be in such an industrial area. This is possibly a new cafe, or at least, it is still very young. Situated right across the car park from the Geelong Markets, it surely is a perfect pairing and a wonderful addition to this less citified area. The bright and light decor is fantastic and really brings you into the zone you are in. Theres outdoor seating, bar stools and tables for groups. It was really fantastic. I really also liked that the kitchen was raw and open, able to watch food being made. Cool little cafe, and a place that - if i lived in the city of Geelong - I would visit more often.

A diamond in the rough I admit I heard of this place before…read moremy eventual visit. You really don't expect a modern cafe in this location. I ordered a latte, eggs on toast. Simple yes but delicios. The servings are very generous. Eggs cooked perfectly. Sourdough toast, well i have had better but it was still good. The coffee is good but my milk was over heated but i am willing to give them another go. Great atmosphere with outdoor (with heaters ) and indoors Check out the vintage market while you are there

Breakfast "At The Heads" on Sunday morning was a delight for the eyes... what a beautiful venue. I…read morealways enjoy coming here and it is particularly special when the weather is kind. We were entertaining visitors to the area so this was a major point scorer for us. Not a huge selection for breakfast / brunch, eg. no french toast, but what they do have is pretty tasty. Coffee is a big thing for me and, although not the best cup I have had in this area, it is not bad.

To be honest, nothing in Barwon Heads is quite like Annie's. The quick service, friendly staff,…read moregreat food and cosy atmosphere all contribute to an iconic local cafe with smooth, hot coffee & delicious deli-style food. I seriously recommend you treat yourself to a tasting plate for breakfast or lunch, because trying a variety of what Annie's has in stock will only ever leave you happy! Find your favourites, take home a platter's worth of cheeses and meats and treat yourself, and then come back in the evening for gourmet pizzas and salads! The owners are so friendly - plus, the first Thursday of every month, come in for free cheese & wine tastings!! SO WORTH IT. Chat with the owners about their produce - you'd be surprised how much research and love goes into what this little cafe decides to stock! Only the best for you! I know sometimes having a smaller lunch menu can do people's heads in, but believe me, all of the options are quality. My personal favourite is the lasagna paired with my choice of side salad (and those salad selections change daily based on what's been freshly made that morning!), a hot soy latte, and - on colder days - a warm, fuzzy blanket supplied by Annie's to bundle myself up in while I read the paper! It's the perfect, most snuggly way to spend a relaxed afternoon in Barwon Heads. Treat yourself. Go to Annie's.

Absolutely delicious breakfast. Pulled pork was a little on the small side. Mushrooms - good size &…read moreThey happily substituted whole-grain bread for the white. (What is with this country? Why do all these nice cafés serve white bread? Who wants the less delicious/nutritious version??!!!). Everything on the breakfast menu sounded fantastic, but I wasn't as excited about the lunch and dinner menus. Nice specialty shop to go along with the café. Lots of dried canned, and jarred specialty foods. lots from local providers. Lots of Takeaway options.
