Down The Alley

Great coffee, the best I had on my recent trip to Melbourne. Had the Eggs Benny and Eggs on Toast, generous serves and the poached eggs were just right. Good laid back atmosphere, great service, a hidden gem just around the corner from the larger, busier food places on the foreshore. Well worth the visit.

Walked around Geelong for over an hour trying to find somewhere for breakfast, stumbled upon this place and it turned our day around! Brilliant service, delicious food, funky premises love the full wall artwork! and superb coffee. Highly recommend, we will definitely be returning next time we're in Geelong

Friendly staff, breakfast was delicious Had the banana french toast, with blueberrys and greek yougurt and everything was very well presented.

This place is a little gem and had one of the best breakfasts we have had ever! The service was slow but as we were not in a hurry it was not an issue. Afterwards we commented on the family who were helping out and were told that the owner had been left in the lurch and had called in her family to help as she was taking orders, making coffee and cooking on her own which is simply not possible. I would give them 10 stars for effort and definitely for the delicious food and am sorry that the got bad reviews from people who should have gone to a fast food chain if they were in a hurry. If you want one of the best breakfasts ever and have time to just sit and enjoy, put these guys first on your list!

On the spur of the moment, we headed there for breakfast. The scrambled eggs on sour dough were very nicely done. Ordered an iced coffee after seeing one go to another table. Thanks, the two of use really enjoyed the meals.

Went there to have a quick breakfast and look around the shops before I had to jump on the train. Got there at 10:15 was served a pretty average coffee at 10:40 with only about 7 other people in the cafe. Then had to wait till 11:20 till we were finally served food and my sister got the iced chocolate we ordered when we first got there. Friendly faces but poor service, ruined my day that I was wanting to enjoy with my family but ended up having to go straight from the cafe to the train station as we wouldn’t of had enough time to look around the shops. Very disappointed.

Funky vibe and wall art. Greeted by friendly staff the moment I walked in the door. Was over the moon with my muffin still hot from the oven. Nice coffee and menu looked delish. A hidden gem, perfect chilled out place to refuel while exploring the waterfront!

A little hidden secret. Absoloutly beautiful food and atmosphere. The waitress even spoilt our daughter with extra marshmellows. But be sure to arrive early. Were sad last weekend as there were no tables. Keep up the great work

Really great, simple food and excellent coffee. Relaxed atmosphere and the guy running the place was very chill, friendly and organised. Would be my regular if I lived in Geelong!

Best scrambled eggs I’ve had! If you like scrambled eggs, get them here. The coffee was pretty good too and the space is quirky and comfortable
