They put a decent amount of meat in them and the pastry is delicious and crusty! The lady who served me was extremely helpful and clearly had heaps of experience in serving customers. Their cakes also looked delicious. 10/10

Good food at nominal prices. They have panini a, pies, coffee, mini pizzas and baked sweet goodies…read more The bakery is small but there is an outside bench area to sit and eat. Service is curt but fast.

What a fail this place is, might have been good once but it's pathetic now, very poor service and…read moreit took longer for an already prepared wrap to come than the pie which had to be heated. So glad we didn't order coffee, we need to get to our destination. Very poor all round, but wait, they have just offered to make a fresh wrap, seems the other had been sitting a while, let's see how long that takes!!

This is by far my favourite Gloria Jean in Geelong! I've never been disappointed with a coffee…read morehere, it's probably my favourite place to get coffee! I love the staff they're all really friendly and perky I especially love the owner! He makes the effort to remember your name and no matter how busy he is he always makes the effort to ask how you are! I simply love it. Plus your coffee is always hot!! I hate going places (even other Gloria Jean's) and it's just lukewarm. I love it here!! =)

In my opinion the best coffee in Ocean Grove, good selection of healthy treats. A hidden gem in…read moreOcean Grove. p.s. padre coffee beans, however for some reason not open Sundays!

Can be a bit hit and miss here with the coffee. The almond milk could do with replacing and finding…read morea better quality dairy alternative. The Matcha is also too sweet for something that is inherently bitter and full of really good nutrients. The only reason I have given this place 4 stars not 3 is that the Croissants are SO good! Hard to get a hold of because they are so popular but worth the price. Agree with other reviewers. It can be quite annoying with the layout and in peak hour, it's hard to get out of the driveway with heaps of other cars in it.

What a fantastic funky cafe, ordered a hot, hot coffee and was rewarded with a fantastic big size…read morecup of smooth hot coffee. Price for the coffee is just a bit more than you would find in other cafes. Worth going just to check out the set up. Music playing the day I visited was reggae and a tad to loud to be able to talk in a normal voice. Lots of Wooden tables catering for all size groups or singles. Food looked delicious. I was delighted by the huge room towards the back dedicated to connoisseurs of tea drinkers. This room was very serene. There is also another room which can be used for meetings. This cafe may be in an industrial area but well worth the drive.

I don't know how long John Doe has been open in Geelong but I'm a local coffee aficionado and only…read morenoticed it when i donated blood next door. But what a find, great coffee and a range of gourmet sandwiches, cakes and the like. Yes, this is a small cafe servicing the CBD business caffine market (its a bit too far from the touristy parts to really be aimed there) and a place like that will always live or die on the quality of its coffee. Since starting this review I have been back two or three times and will continue. Great to have another solid caffeine merchant in this part of town.

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!!
