Look up as you walk into Bear and Bean Cafe Geelong for one of the most interesting ceilings in Geelong. Hundreds, maybe even thousands of little pictures have all been carefully thought up and painted on plywood sheets that line the previously bare tin roof.
This is a family business and the drawings were done by Travis, Emerly, Reece and Kaela. As you ponder how they came up with so many concepts and tied them all together you get the distinct feeling that this was a labour of love.
Lauren & Julian Sault are the owners of Bean and Bean Cafe Geelong. They had a long background in hospitality and before it was a cafe, the brand was doing corporate catering with a strong focus on healthy options.
Located in the car park on Little Ryrie Street between Moorabool and Gheringhap, it’s another unique contribution to the revival of a part of the city that was pretty drab only a few years back. The building it’s in used to be the garage for the old Jarman Brothers Sports Store.
You’ll find Ducale Coffee (DC) from Preston on the LaMarzocco machine and a wide array of healthy options on the lunch menu. Their food really is worth mentioning. All that experience in professional catering is really paying off and there are many options for all dietary preferences from the paleo warrior to the gluten intolerant.
With the tables cleared out the space also converts into a great function room at night. For mums with bubs there’s plenty of space and seating options. There’s even a little astroturf play area with a large chalkboard to keep the kids entertained. Being in a car park there’s plenty of room to park the car at standard Geelong rates.
This one is pretty new to Geelong and we’re big fans! Scroll past the photos for ratings and contact details.
