Bean Squeeze Melbourne Rd — Restaurant in Victoria

Review of The Bean Squeeze – 440 Melbourne Rd, North Geelong VIC 3214

In a word: EXCEPTIONAL.

Having visited many coffee spots across Melbourne and Geelong, I can confidently say The Bean Squeeze stands out as a clear Number 1. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear that this café is run with precision, care, and a genuine passion for quality.

The coffee here is absolutely top-tier. They easily passed the “Flat White Test” — a full cup, professionally poured, rich in flavor, and exactly how a real coffee should be. If you’re a coffee enthusiast, this spot should already be on your radar.

But it’s not just about the coffee. Their range of snacks and light meals is equally impressive. The produce is fresh, the breads are beautifully baked, and everything is presented with style. I highly recommend the chicken and cheese toasty — it’s delicious, satisfying, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients.

The space itself is clean and inviting. From the benches to the windows to the driveway, everything is spotless and well maintained, giving you full confidence in their food safety and preparation standards. Plus, ample parking makes the visit stress-free and convenient.

Prices are reasonable and on par with other cafés in the area — but the quality you receive here far surpasses most. The staff are a major highlight: friendly, efficient, professionally dressed, and genuinely welcoming.

If you’re serious about great coffee and service, The Bean Squeeze in North Geelong is a must-visit.

Without fail this is the pre-work ritual. The staff are that phenomenal that they remember my two different coffees and ask me which I'm skilling today. Friendly service, under the pump but they finesse their way out if the 20 car line that can happen. I don't go anywhere else because I have curated this wonderful relationship with them for nearly two years going everyday before I work. Absolute legends! Also they have comforted me on a few days where I didn't feel like doing anything or going to work and to have developed that relationship slowly over time with these baristas has kept me sane on...

I love the coffee here, but unfortunately I have to drop a few stars for todays effort. The guy behind the machine today snapped the plug on my Keep Cup lid. So not such a happy customer today. :-( EDIT BELOW

Edit: these folks are great. They got in contact and helped resolve the issue of my broken Keep Cup very well. So, thank you! 😊 I still love coming through their drive-thru for my morning coffee, and the staff are always welcoming and warm. Couldn't have coped as well with the pandemic if they weren't around. Cheers Bean...
