Beautiful customer service but the food isn't that great as people fake it to be, not impressed and very disappointed, you can have the best place and the atmosphere but you need to have good food, plain, no flavour and no love was given to making it, wish I can put a 0 star, but the people are great.

Best coffee in Geelong! The Morello Cherry focaccia is my all time favourite. There is always a line out the front because it’s a small shop but flows fast and worth the wait!

Obviously Olivia wasn’t the popular girl in school … this place is amazing, great food and even better service, get in early for the best pastry sweets before they sell out. Cute backyard with vegie gardens and plenty of grass, great place to relax in the sun.

Good cafe with a nice back garden. For me the food is a bit pricey for what it is but it's good otherwise.

These guys have done a fanatic job. Bread is the best in Geelong. Coffee fantastic and the atmosphere is friendly and community minded.

Bonza coffee with great a space out the back for kids with green fingers. Line can get long but I guess that's the double-edged sword of delivering a great product. Only gripe is the cost of the cheeky pizzas - knock a coupla bucks off for us paupers and help our cost of living woes.

I am so glad we stumbled upon this gem of a cafe on our way to Torquay from Melbourne. What a perfect pit stop to relax and enjoy some delicious coffee. These guys really know how to make a good coffee. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming when we ordered and then directed us to the back of their tiny building where HELLO a whole courtyard full of lush plants and undercover seating awaits you. You can hang out with your dogs or even picnic on the huge grass area. It was a very unique cafe dining experience, you won’t find anywhere else in Melbourne or any part of Victoria probably, we loved it so much we came back on the way back home after our weekend trip.

I literally have nothing bad to say except I only wish a Melbourne cafe was half as good as Funk. You guys don’t know how good you really are! Thank you and we will most definitely be back if we make our way to this side of town again (and you know we will just to have your delicious coffee again lol)

I’m so glad we decided to stop at Funk on the way to Lorne. The crew at Funk was very welcoming and they even provided suggestions on what to do on the Great Ocean Road. The coffee (single-origin long blacks) was very, very good and so were their breads, kombucha, and cinnamon rolls. We made a special detour on our way back from Lorne and they remembered us! So kind and dedicated to their work. Can’t wait to visit again when we return to Australia! Thanks!

Great coffee, bread is ballistic! Ate the focaccia in my car before I left.
Had extra virgin Olive Oil running down my face!
Soo good.

The staff are so warm and friendly but can’t say the coffee and food blew me away. The focaccia was far too sloppy and greasy. It was a total oil fest and I ended up throwing out because it was just too messy and unappealing.

What a find! Barely noticeable in West Geelong, it opened for business during lockdown 6 months ago.
Serving great coffee roasted in Birregurra and offering great sandwiches, pastries it has a hidden garden dripping with veggies. Enter through the side gate to access the garden of Eden!

Such a great spot. The coffee is good, the staff are friendly and the baked goods are really inreresting. They have a beautiful space out the back that you can sit in.

Some of the nicest coffee, food, and service you will get in Geelong. A great space to bring family and friends, and enjoy the open green garden out the back. Run by extremely friendly and passionate people, you'll never leave without a smile on your face.

Just expected small bakery at the font facade, and there was spacious backyard, the hidden gem!
Thankfully chose perfect day, beautiful warm weather.

And one deep bite of three vegetable stuffed bread, I can't forget the sound. Crunch outside and smooth inside and suff inside was just like the perfect orchestra.

This is a unique venue since all your dining is done in the little shop's back yard. Order your food and then walk down the side of the shop into what seems like someone's well maintained back garden where you'll find different areas to sit, whether it's on the lawn, on the border of raised flower beds, in the shade of the flora or at some tables and chairs under the cover of gazeboes. Plenty of room for kids to run around too. The food served here is tasty and of a good quality and the coffee I had was smooth and rich in flavour. The prices won't bust the bank either. Staff are friendly and service was quick. A lovely way to dine in someone else's garden.

Quick service and great coffee. The back space is great and dog friendly. Definitely will return for the very tasty looking 'diet killer' treats in the window.

Just had the vegetable focaccia with three cheeses and a yuzu soda. Delicious food and then had a ball with my nephew while we waited in the beautiful back garden. Seriously want to rave on about the focaccia
