I used to love this cafe, but today I had an incredibly upsetting experience. When I arrived I…read moreinformed the waiter that the last time I had been at the the cafe the milkshake I had ordered never arrived. I had forgotten about the milkshake until later that day. Today I asked whether I could redeem the milkshake. The owner then approached our table in the rudest and most aggressive manner, telling me off that I should have told the staff then and there about the milkshake. I responded that I had forgotten until later. We felt so affronted by her manner that we left. I said to the owner on the way out that her manner was rude and the worst customer service I had ever experienced. I was then asked if I always ask for free stuff and whether I had problems at home. I was absolutely gobsmacked. The owner also assured me that she has excellent customer service. I've never felt so outraged and personally insulted at any cafe/eatery in my life! I actually feel sorry for someone that thinks everyone is out to exploit her and presume the worst in people.

We turned up at this cafe with 5 big 18 year old boys, my daughter and husband in Mother's Day…read moremorning. We hadn't booked and the given the day the place was packed! Expecting to be turned away or at the very least forgotten, we were surprised to have the very opposite happen. They couldn't have been more welcoming! The service was warm efficient and spot on and the food was wonderfully presented and prepared. The cafe had a very cool kooky vibe with rustic tables chairs and decor. And the coffee!! Perfect! The place is named after the perfect temperature required to serve the best coffee and they had it down pat for these two coffee snobs!

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!!

We had the Avo smash which came with haloumi and kale chips and the sweet potato toast with Meredith goats cheese. Neither of which we could fault. It's a small intimate atmosphere under cover for summer and installed with heaters and throws for winter. It's really a shame this is so far from my house. I'll be back next time I'm in Geelong!

The food is delicious, the staff are always friendly and sometimes the owners are floating around to say hi. It took me a while to remember but they also own the pub in Batesford which is also one of my favourite places to go. No matter what I choose on the menu, it never disappoints here and I have too many favourites to make some suggestions. Best to go during the week if you want a quiet atmosphere as it can pick up on weekends with children and parents in active wear.
