geeks on sainsbury

really loved geeks on sainsbury! great coffee and delicious food with fast and friendly service. super cool decor and clean setting. would recommend to others and will be returning.

i've come to eat breakfast here a couple of times now and always leave full and satisfied. customer service is great, always friendly and attentive and the food is definitely above average (with plating on point!). love the ambience of the place too, but try to come early because it gets quite packed and it isn't too big.

tucked around the corner, is geeks on sainsbury. initially we weren't quite sure whether were came to the right place, as the lollipop signage, that was located on above the cafe, dominated theirs.
loved the vibe of the cafe as soon as we walked in. felt casual and relaxing with welcoming staff. we ordered the eggs benedict, salmon bagel and iced mocha. food service was quick. presentation of food was 5/5 for me. the egg benny was quite different from what i would normally get at a typical cafe. this one had betroot puree on the side (absolute delish), along with the eggs being stacked on slices of agria potatoes. it was very flavour-some! the salmon bagel was a little bit of a let down for me. again, presentation was spot on. felt like it lacked of cream cheese and salmon, considering how expensive it was. overall, despite the awesome vibe + staff of the cafe, this cafe was abit too expensive for my liking.

this place i was really rooting for, the moment we walked in the vibe was postive, the interior design was trendy, the staff were friendly. it's like the friend you really hope will do well but doesn't. i feel like this place focuses on appearance and whilst takes risks to excel in image, fails to be ambitious in flavour. this place has the potential to be so much more.

the food

eggs benedict (2/5) - i might be biased with eggs bene but for this one the dish just lacked that extra bit of flavour. the presentation was flawless but the taste just didn't have life. i was interested in the substitute of potatoe instead bagel, noticed a fee places doing that these days.

the fries (3/5) - so the fries were well cooked, presentation good too. what failed here was the sauce.

mince on toast (2/5) - again the presentation was on point for this one but also lacked flavour to. it tasted like mince in a cheap bland pasta sauce. even soy sauve would have given it a bit more life.

drinks (3/5) - i got a soda, cant remember which one, it was average, same with the coffee.

the service (4/5)
the stadd were pretty attentive and courteous.

the environment (4/5)
love the decor here, somewhat trendy. the placement of items in the cafe have a good synergy to it. the bean bags outdoors is a bonus.

buzzing cafe. good food, little slow. friendly and approachable service. food presentation was great! food a little underwhelming for cost. rated high 3!!

never thought finding such a nice cafe in sandringham was really nice fitout.
been there on monday late afternoon was really quite.
had a aeropress  and my miss had flat white my filter was amazing but her coffee was really milky not enough flavour.will come back to try their menu.

one of my favourite cafes. fruit waffles are a go-to, coffee is always hot and perfect, staff are super friendly and welcoming! can't go wrong with geeks 😍

due to their high ratings and good reviews on here, i couldn't help but visit this cafe! ordered the cappuccino and the chicken quinoa salad. absolutely great service to the front of house staff! the cappuccino was good, however i think it may have needed a more stronger coffee taste to it. the crema was not smooth and creamy, so it would be quite similar to a flat white. so a 7/10 for the coffee. however, their chicken quinoa salad was delicious! i've never had quinoa before, but it tasted quite nice and the pumpkin puree? tasted great with it! the chicken was.cooked beautifully with the mesclun and beans! i give the salad a 9/10!

came in here on sunday morning, were seated quickly despite the place being busy. ordered two trim lattes and a salmon bagel as well as a kale/mushroom/pesto bagel. we went up and ordered at the counter as ee were hungry and no one took our order. coffee arrived quickly and was delicious. not long after the food arrived and we devoured it. everything on the plate married well together and was fresh. only downside is that the water was served to us in cups that smelt of eggs (they werent washed properly i guess). would definitely be back for more yummy food and coffee though!

this place looks like your typical neighbourhood cafe located on the corner of sainsbury rd and morningside drive, but boy oh boy their food was delicious! i had ordered salmon & avo bagel (wished they had added more avo) and my mate had the burger with shoestring fries. also we had the caramel slice to share from the cabinet. there are a few things on their menu that i want to try next time i.e the bibimpab and the waffle.

standouts:
the amazing, efficient, attentive and friendly service that went the extra mile
the delicious food that not only is instagram-ready but tastes as good as it looks

room for improvement:
water wasn’t offered at our table but we didn’t ask so not a biggie

came here on a sunny monday morning for brunch and loved it.
staff were friendly, place is easy to find and food is delish.
had eggs benedict with salmon and pokeno bacon. loved that it was on a potato rosti instead of bread, made it so much better. also had an iced choc and a blue smoothie. the iced choc was so chocolatey.
will defs be back to try other dishes.

one word - delicious.

situated opposite of st lukes mall, this is my go-to cafe. it's korean owned and it serves delicious breakfast and lunch by the friendly waitresses. the drinks are fast and nice. the eggs benedict is a go-to dish for me as it's not your everyday eggs benedict - the taste is amazing and you will never get sick of it, also it's served hot. the presentation carries the wow factor and the good quality ingredients they use is the main difference between a normal eggs benedict and this - you will need to try it yourself. all dishes are presented nicely and cooked tasty which shows the chefs are both efficient and very skilled. the price, though a tiny bit high, is worth the dishes' presentation, taste, size, and the service is a bonus. the menu contains all the healthy ingredients and drinks you'll need for the day. you can choose to dine inside a simple-designed cafe or outside facing the greens. $40 for two is expected. overall, it's delicious and efficient.

i didn't realize how much i was coming here for my bagel fix until one of the lovely girls who work there was like '.. yeah you look really familiar' ... ahh please take that back because then you vaguely know my order and you know i don't come here to play games especially on a seedy sunday hahaha.

it's a quaint and cute cosy setting, wasn't a fan of the school like tables but i've really come to enjoy them and have had to come to terms with talking to people like 'ah can we sit here?' cool cause i'm sitting down anyway.

presentation of food is so darling to look at. from the flowers, to the centre placing on dishes. even from the get go you're excited before even tasting your meal. incredible.

i wish this place was bigger! because it would eradicate my fear of waking up on sunday at 11am thinking... it's probably packed by now, god damn it why didn't i get up earlier d:

beautiful presentation of their food, we had their eggs benny on deep fried potato gratin , not warm enough . but the poached eggs cooked perfectly.
