cafe go

we were passing through geelong and after a quick research we came here for lunch today. it looks small from looking in from the outside but they have anicecourtyard filled with tables and heaters.

it was busy but we got a table and ordered our food at the counter. there is anicefireplace inside the cafe and it has a warm/inviting feeling.

i ordered the chicken salad which i enjoyed and my family had the veggie breakfast, baked beans and fetta and dill fritters which were good and well priced. we also shared a veggie soup on their specials board to warm ourselves from the cold.

smiles all round from staff and all friendly.

cafe go is an interesting spot for coffee and breakky/lunch. had anicewelcome from the start when we walked in the door. after being handed my plush table number, we sat in the courtyard and was served some decent food. lacked in flavour and the cutlery was dirty.

great small cafe with interesting table number - monkey! beef burger isniceand bread is so soft. mocha is too sweet for me though. but why not have a sweeter morning.

piggy and panda went for a run and were super hungry so we were on the lookout for energy replenishment!

café go had the highest ratings of all cafes in the area, so we decided to try it out. the café had a nicely decorated interior and cute backyard seating area as well. instead of table numbers, we were given soft toys which we thought was anicetouch. unfortunately we did have to ask for the menu, ask for water and also waited a very long time for one of our dishes until we asked the service staff which did detract from the experience.

we had the:
• corn & zucchini fritters w/ poached eggs - a solid version of classic poached eggs, but the fritters were a little soft & soggy as a result and the salad was a tad too sour
• lamb panini - lamb was very tender and the whole panini was delicious

overall, quitenicefood but service could have been better.

great food, awesome music, eclectic decor and friendly staff!

reallynicecourtyard area out the back, perfect for brunch on aniceday.

would love to see them move to paper or metal straws

beautiful, cute cafe very near the beach. the first impression when we walked in this place on a saturday morning was it’s just a cute, normal cafe. but when u entered the courtyard at the back, it was like u walked in a different world. an open, green spacious space with vintage, arty little decorations. immediately it made us feel welcome and homey. the coffee was great, ordered a mocha for myself and chai latte for my hubby. chai latte got a very subtle yet distinctive smell. coffee was rich and creamy. they got a rather small menu but have something for everyone. they got vegan, meat lover and even children dishes.
ordered a steak sandwich which came in really yummy. the only down is the bread was a bit hard to bite in. my hubby and cousin try the paninis with pork belly and pulled lamb. the filling were quite interesting. the pulled lamb one has a lot of spice in it, so be aware if u’re not a big fan of spice. the pork belly wasniceand def a crowd pleaser. if only the ciabatta was a bit softer, it’d be perfect.
we found the price is very reasonable compared to melbourne. food came out quickly and service was friendly although u do have to seat yourself. im not sure if it’s a normal thing in geelong.

hi! we have been going to go for some time and recommend it. great to pop in for a fresh salad or sandwich in between appointments during the day. we have also been here for breakfast which is just as good on the weekend sitting out the back. the place and the staff could be considered a little alternative but it is well matched and service is great.nicewhen the open fire is going in winter but it does fill up inside due to small limited seating, plenty of seats outside. average cost for a trendy cafe in geelong.

whilst the location, artwork and the look of the cafe are quitenicewe were bitterly disappointed by poor customer service and rude staff. keeping a positive attitude we hoped the food would make up for the attitude we received from the waitress. unfortunately the food was also average.

lunch here,niceambiance, friendly staff. had the lamb borek... very crispy and tasty. staff were friendly. they do all day breakfast and lunch started midday, kitchen closes at 3pm.

good coffee, great service, super cramped. people of geelong caught on to how good the coffee and food in this place is and decided to jump in. all at the same time. every morning.

it's a small cafe and has a verynice/ ferny little backyard. the staff is amazingly friendly, and the coffee is great. the food is delicious, though the quantities may be small, the delicious taste makes the price seem fair.

i would suggest trying the brekky roll with egg, bacon, aioli & relish or the chocolate french toast sandwich with salted caramel & grilled banana for the sweeter tooth.

good coffee as usual, however, they seem to always be inconsistent in their poached eggs. between our 2 breakfast meal, there were 3 poached eggs, 1 was ok (not perfect) but the other 2 were overcooked. but to their credit, they replaced both without questions. whilst the replacement were better, they were nowhere near how a perfect poached egg should be. but other than that, the food were good and they were of interesting combinations

good food, decent price. the persian egg, whilst simple, was good. the poached egg was well made, not undercooked nor overcooked. the borek was a bit small but it was under $10 so pretty much what i would expect in terms of servings size. coffee was decent too.nicecourtyard at the back andnice& cosy fireplace inside.

fantastic attitude from everyone there and great food to boot!. regularly frequent this place for a hang over cure on the weekends. all day breakfasts are great, coffee is lovely. the outdoor section out back is a reallynicelittle space to chill out and read a paper. prices are fair. highly recommended.

a busy little cafe, it was very convenient for me while waiting for someone in surgery up the street. the staff gave me a friendly greeting and took my order right away, and gave me a toy as the table number. i thought this was quirky and a bit fun, especially when the waitress explained the doll was meant to be her! i only had coffee, but it was one of the best i've had in my stays in geelong. the milk was properly textured and the coffee was aniceblend and not burnt like so many i've had around geelong. i enjoyed the atmosphere, and the decor - there's always something new to discover! i will happily go back for my morning coffee tomorrow.

good. just had a tuna and lettuce sandwich and sat out the front. not much to rate, i guess, but it was good. tinned tuna with anicemayonnaise on a reasonable bread with fresh cut iceberg. all decent, and the simple combination, tasty. the coffee was alright. the toys as table markers a bit cumbersome/silly. $10 something in total, it was.

i've spent more for less. would definitely give this place another go for a proper lunch, inside. the service was brisk but it was busy, and they seem to know their flavours, or at least how to make a sandwich.
