I was most pleased with my choice of the Superfood Bowl ($17) which was broccolini, avocado, black rice, spinach, edamame, pickled cucumber, radish, almonds and sesame dressing. It was excellent. In fact as I ate it, only a week into January, the thought crossed my mind that this could be my best cafe meal of the year.
Amazing super food bowl. Very accomodating to my dislike of almonds too!
Great little cafe, very cute interior. Hunted this place down on my day trip to Geelong and it didn’t disappoint
Great menu options couldn't decide! Staff are also very lovely. I got the breakfast roll and it was absolute delicious a bit on the pricey side but overall was amazing.
Popped in for lunch today.
Decor was nice, on the minimalistic side.
Tried the 'steak sanga'
Nice fresh food, and from the amount of coffee being ordered around me i can only assume a fab cup of coffee (my tea was great)
What a gorgeous little cafe. Was in for a quick production/lunch meeting. Very friendly staff, happy. And food was very yummy. The berry smoothie was just excellent. It wasn't overly sweet which is often what happens in cafes so the balance was perfect. Pumpkin salad was really good because it was really light and the hallumi cheese adds all the saltiness it needs. Will be back when I can!
My absolute favourite place to eat breakfast in Geelong!! Such friendly staff, great coffee and amazing food ! I recommend this place to all my friends 😊
The Backyard always has a great atmosphere with terrific service. Food is served promptly. They recently changed the menu, which has a few different lunch options. However, the menu is generally breakfast based. It was upsetting that they took the delicious buttermilk rolls from the menu except for one.
Overall a great place for a lunch or coffee.
Had a really nice coffee yesterday so came for breakfast this morning. I had a vegetarian breakfast and hubby had Florentine. Kids both had nutella waffles. Yum all round!!
Very pleased to find a place that has a separate vegan menu. I had the sweet potato fritter with beetroot hommous which was more filling than it looks. The ambience is nice with the background music not intrusive on conversation.
Amazing food, nice coffee, great staff cosy venue. Love finding beautiful vegan spots in the Geelong city.
After seeing it number 3 on the Geelong brekkie list and passing it enough times, we came in for breakfast.
It's pretty good, drinks are on the expensive end ($5 for a small flat white), and food close up that way too.
It's not too bad, however, found poached eggs to be a bit overdone. Overall worth giving it a shot.
Every time I have lunch from here it's amazing !
Highly recommend. Delicious food. Great vegan and non vegan options, excellent and friendly service
A surprisingly great discovery; very good coffee; we had the “Backyard Big Breakfast” with modifications - most accommodating; beautifully cooked . “The Backyard” is very popular with a steady stream of seated clientele.
Hidden gem! One of the best coffees I've had, the food was delicious and the staff are excellent. Can't wait to visit next time we're in Geelong
