    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.

    I have stepped back in time to 1982 in the best possible way…read more Do not be put off by the exterior of Sam's for the food is not to be missed. My work mates were astounded to hear that I had not tried Sam's and insisted I go there to try the sharwarma and the crinkle cut chips with vinegar. So when the clock struck lunchtime I made my way there. Testament to the locals love of this place there is a line out the door made up of tradies and office workers. The place is adorned with "Go Cats" and Geelong grand final posters, along with an Australian flag and a tin to raise money for the Royal Children's Hospital Appeal. Sam's is a family business. Wishing to spare the lives of innocent lambs I do not try the sharwarma but choose the felafel instead and the crinkle cut chips of course. Whilst waiting to place my order I am struck by the neat and efficient way in which the worker assembling the wraps is working. All the staff work like a premiership winning team. My order comes to $11. I then have some table anxiety as I am unsure whether I will get one by the time my meal is ready. Joy, someone stood up just in time and I happily snagged the table. A few minutes later I am greedily eating my felafel and crinkle cut chips with the all important vinegar and I am very, very happy. Sam's does not take cards but there is an ATM in the store if you forget to bring cash. The menu is extensive from burgers, sandwiches, toasties, omelettes, steaks, shakes and even sundaes. A sandwich of the Vegemite variety will set you back $3. You can even get baked beans on toast. As I am finishing a regular pulls up a chair next to me and strikes up a convo. The ever friendly staff ask if I enjoyed my meal. My reply, "I sure did".

    Feeling a bit peckish on a wintry Saturday afternoon, my partner-in-crime and I spotted Sam's on a…read moredrive back from the Bellarine. We ordered a steak sandwich with the lot, which was the difficult-to-acheive trifecta of good, cheap and fast. The steak itself was tender, and the overall sandwich was hot, full of flavour and really hit the spot. We decided to dig further and tried a lamb kebab, which arrived at our table promptly. The hero here is the delicately spiced and melt-in-your-mouth meat, though the fresh and crisp tabouli and salad cannot be ignored. We were also treated to some of the freshest crinkle-cut chips I've had the pleasure of eating. I'm not usually a huge chip fan, but these were so perfectly cooked and salted, they just had to be devoured. There's a warm and friendly ambience here - I saw a couple of regulars greeted by name which is always great to see. The owners are genuine and up for a chat. If I could sum this place up in one word it would be honest. This is without a doubt the best takeaway food joint I've visited since my childhood, worthy of more hype.
