17by4 Café is Geelong’s charming new hideaway for high tea, lunch specials and Lobster Benedict

Words by Chloe Cicero

“Where Every Bite Tells a Story”

Last October, sisters Shagoofa and Reza Chatrath proudly welcomed patrons into their latest venture, 17by4 Café. Situated in the vibrant heart of Geelong’s CBD, within the historic Courthouse building, the café is a haven for those seeking delightful breakfast, lunch, and high-tea experiences, available seven days a week.

Located in the enchanting arts precinct, the establishment boasts both indoor and outdoor seating, providing a warm welcome to all, including beloved furry friends. At 17by4 Café, they believe pets are family, which is why every four-legged guest receives a complimentary puppuccino and treats.

The name ’17by4′ holds deep significance for the sisters, paying homage to their cherished childhood memories of a joint family home at Block 17, House Number 4 in New Delhi. Here, they aim to recreate that same warmth and nostalgia, inviting you to gather with loved ones over sumptuous three-tier high tea, or explore a meticulously curated à la carte menu, crafted by Head Chef Dalveer, who incidentally happens to be Shagoofa’s husband.

Their indulgent three-tier high tea has quickly become a favourite among patrons, ideal for celebrating special occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries. And fear not, the special kids’ high teas ensure that the younger ones under 12 can also partake in the experience.

From tantalising French pastries to savoury toasted focaccias and rotating $15 weekly lunch specials tailored for the local office crowd, the à la carte menu offers a diverse range of delights. Be sure not to miss the weekend best sellers, including the refreshing Grapefruit Gala Cocktail, indulgent Banoffee Pancakes, and decadent Lobster Benedict.

As a fully licensed venue, 17By4 Café provides the perfect setting for any special occasion, whether it’s an intimate gathering or a grand celebration. And if you’re looking to host an event off-site, their takeaway catering service is on hand to elevate your corporate events, birthday parties, and more. Delight your guests with expertly prepared offerings that are sure to impress.

17By4 Café is located at 40 Gheringhap Street, Geelong and is open every day. Find out more here
