Been here twice and both times experienced dismissive and arrogant service from the barista/?owner. The first time was a genuinely polite enquiry about my coffee I had ordered 10 mins before my friends had arrived, but it still had not arrived when my friends coffees were being put down - "I'll get to it, OK?!". It's not like I order anything complicated - I have a regular latte... Perhaps he hadn't had his coffee yet I thought?

Hopefully they up there game and learn how to...

It has a real community feel as it is bringing bartering back by sourcing local produce and offering a reward such as coffee. It is right in the heart of Geelong so is ideal for those who work in the city. Oh and the take away window is awesome! I highly...
