Add Bumble Bee Eatery to your must-visit list, Geelong’s bright and cosy Asian-Inspired Cafe 

Words by Chloe Cicero

Celebrating its fourth birthday just a few months ago, it’s no wonder that Bumble Bee Eatery has become a community favourite. 

Featuring an Asian-inspired menu that pays tribute to owner Shanny Oh’s Malaysian and Chinese heritage, this Hamlyn Heights café is kicking all the foodie goals, especially when it comes to sweets.

Not only are all its dishes made in-house, but its Asian-inspired cakes and desserts are also all homemade, giving qualified pastry chef Shanny the chance to experiment with flavours and new recipes (for both sweet and savoury options) that are bound to be loved by many. Shanny also makes stunning and delicious Insta-worthy celebration cakes available to order for any event. 

If Asian fusion fare isn’t really your thing, that’s fine because Bumble Bee’s menu also features classics like a fan favourite big brekky, pulled pork eggs benny, and they even do a brunch tasting plate – perfect for when you want one of everything, or if you can’t decide between all the delicious choices.

With a new winter menu, Bumble Bee has assured us that the ever-popular crispy chicken bao buns and the corn fritters will still be available through the colder months, and they will be bringing back their beef rendang with butterfly blue pea rice and the crispy chicken burger which have been absolute crowd favourites. Further highlights on the menu include bread and butter pudding, French Toast, and Mushroom bruschetta with garlic toast, halloumi, chimichurri and dukkah. Delish!
