Cartel Coffee Roasters

Claimed

Superb coffee with efficient and friendly service. Food choices limited. Definitely not low carb

Tempted to say the best coffee I have had as its not normally my style as the filter was a little light in flavour though the espresso was the best.thank you.

First time visiting and worth the trip from Melbourne thank you for spending time going over the coffee worth every cent !

I had a dreadful experience at Coffee Cartel last Sunday. I’m 8 months pregnant and went in to order a weak latte. I was told by the woman serving me that I could have a single shot rather than their double shot coffee. I then tried to order a chai latte and was told they had run out. I then tried to order an early grey tea and was told they only serve black or white tea!!! This was all delivered by an incredibly rude young woman. My husband posted a review earlier this week and I can see that owner has responded basically saying he got the cafe wrong. Trust me, he didn’t. Rather than spending time doubting the honesty of your customers perhaps you can spend a bit more time training your staff to be kind and respectful to customers no matter what they order or what they look like. To the owner - I’d be very happy to speak to you about my experience, it’s definitely one of the most unpleasant cafe experiences I’ve had in a long time.

Im confused been drinking here for many years with family and friends, We have always had the best coffees and friendly service not only in Geelong but in most cases around the world Our family love everything you do and thank you for all your hard work and effort bringing the standard of coffee to us.

In about five minutes Cartel Coffee Roasters managed to: - Refuse to give my wife a coffee any weaker than one shot (she is pregnant and managing her caffeine intake) - Inform her that the reason they couldn't give her a chai latte (her second option) was that they (the cafe, not the lattes) are 'so popular' they had sold out - Tell her that they don't stock earl grey tea (her third option) because the only varieties of tea they serve are 'black' and 'white' All this without a hint of apology or regret. Instead their attitude was clearly that she wasn't good enough to have the same taste in coffee as their staff. In summary, there are plenty of other great cafes in Geelong, and I heartily recommend going to one of them instead!

Another Great coffee, even when this cafe is Busy they took time again to run through the Bkon filter machine with a delicious coffee.

When a cafe has three Gesha on with Espresso and filter you know its just good coffee. Moved back to the City and I think its safe to say best coffee in Australia is in the heart of Geelong. Thanks Megan for the great service.

I think Saturday morning is not a time to call in. The waitress got our simple food order wrong twice (first she completely forgot it, then she only brought half since she misunderstood it). Two bagels shouldn’t take 20+ minutes when they are already in the display and only need 3 min toasting...the place was not busy so no excuse? Regarding the coffee... everything looks like they really take it seriously but I cannot give it the tick this time around. The froth on the cappuccino was far from silky and the bitterness/strength was easily a double shot (which is ok if that is what you ordered...but I didn’t). So in a nutshell it was not quite right on all accounts. Whoever is in charge needs to pay attention to detail (all the time). I’m keen to try their coffee again to see they can deliver, because something tells me they are passionate about coffee... and so am I. Thanks

Only had time for one coffee in Geelong and this place did not disappoint. Would have like to try some other places nearby, but made the right choice to go here
