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.

Directly opposite the Geelong Botanical Gardens, a perfect location to walk off and digest a great meal!! Good selection of wines and spirits for a frivolous lunch time booze up!! The salt and rosemary fries are to die for and the Bounty muffins are heaven for a sweet tooth!! Overall an awesome little local find worth stopping off at!!

Not gonna lie - I went to this place because of the free wifi. The delicious food, incredible…read morecoffee, and the quirky decor was secondary. Although my heart broke a little when they told me their wifi was no longer connected. WHAT? Australia, catch up to the rest of the world, please! I turned international roaming off on my phone so I wouldn't get an astronomical bill at a later date - I NEED WIFI TO SURVIVE! Once I calmed down and ordered lunch I almost forgot all about why I was upset in the first place. I ordered the quiche with asparagus, caramelised onions, goats cheese (local from Drysdale!) that came served with a pear chutney, rocket, parmesan and walnut salad. DELICIOUS. The flavors worked perfectly together and I couldn't get enough of the chutney! This place is super cool. It's a renovated house turned into a cafe and it's absolutely charming. The staff were really friendly and always laughing with one another. I can't wait to go back to Cafe Go - wifi or not! :)

I knew I would like this place…read more As soon as I saw the quirky set up for outdoor seating, I just knew I had to go to Cafe Go. I was not alone. I opened the door shortly after midday to find half of Geelong crammed into this place - either by the cosy open fire, in the quaint outdoor courtyard or lining up by the counter. This place looks cool and has a great casual ambiance. Getting a table inside was too challenging so I opted to sit out the front in the sun and enjoy my rye sandwich which was very good. The only reason this place didn't get a 5 was because I queued for at least 10 minutes busily drooling over a chicken and walnut sandwich, only to see the girl in front of me snap it up. Egg salad was my back up choice. The broader lunch menu looks appealing as does the breaky options. The counter is decorated with many sweet choices including chocolate brownies. I would recommend you give this cafe a go.

They have some amazing sweets so perfect for for a sit down and some chill time. The staff a super friendly and there is a great atmosphere with a mixture of mid century and modern touch. Coffee was excellent and you can tell fr the little subtitles that the barista knows his stuff about coffee. Love the little simple touch of 3 smarties you get with a coffee. Get down if you are a lover of great coffee, great service and just somewhere to take some timeout.

How can I, a self described foodie, have lived in Geelong for 3-years and never heard of this place…read moreuntil I saw it on deliveroo? I hang my head in shame...Like other reviewers, we visited after dining in the popular Little Malop St precinct, and in hindsight would have skipped the dinner and focussed on dessert. I loved the ecclectic, retro feel of the place and the mix of chairs, tables and lounges. I also loved the menu on the wall...but what I didn't love was that I couldn't try everything that was on offer! So for $22 my wife and I shared the tasting plate that included ×3 cakes, ice cream and x5 sides...now you know why we should have skipped dinner :) Best of all, if you are gluten free or vegan they have something for you. I can't recommend anything specific beyond going regularly so you can try it all.

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!

But if you need something a little more solid as well, the panini's are tasty and hit the spot. Not much seating, and if the lycra crowd are in you will have no chance of sitting.

You've got to stop in here next time you're out looking for your next hit. My husband and I literally walk past 4 other nice coffee places to come get our morning coffee from here. They don't do food, but the have the standard array of muffins and such that look nice. They also sell the cartel coffee beans as well as a vast collection of teas and related drink-ware. Very cool cafe, reminds me of being in the city. Geelong is very lucky!
