With Cartel Coffee and bagels to die for, Out of Order café is a business set on being a mainstay in Bendigo.
Birthed from a love of specialty coffee, and the vision to bring something new to the Bendigo café scene, Out of Order owners Kelsey and Taelor are absolutely killing it. After working a management role, Kelsey and Taelor had a dream to open their own business, and they are truly living that dream. With Taelor working in hospitality for over 15 years, he has brought an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience to their business, paired with Kelsey’s love of people and lots of plants!

As a business, they aim to provide quality products, and exceptional service through making genuine relationships with their customers and creating a space that is inclusive of all people and treats every customer like a member of the family. The venue is light and bright, with a huge array of plants (that Kelsey has proudly and somehow kept alive!) and her pet turtle ‘Jaws’ that lives in a beautiful tank near the front of our store.
The coffee Out of Order slings comes from Cartel Roasters in Geelong. Kelsey was born and raised in Geelong, and grew up drinking Cartel Coffee. She had always dreamt of the day she’d open her own café and serve Cartel Coffee. The Bendigo locals have absolutely loved their coffee and appreciate bringing something new to Bendigo.

The bagels come from a baker called ‘Savion’ – they are beautifully soft, and work so well with the bagel fillings. The menu features a Breaky Bagel- which is the most popular bagel by a country mile, selling hundreds of them every single week. There is also a philly cheese bagel- which is another crowd favourite, complete with oozy melted Swiss cheese. All produce is fresh and sourced locally from a supplier. Out of Order have also recently added matcha to their menu, served either hot or iced, and there is the option of a raspberry iced matcha or a butterfly matcha- both of which have been incredibly popular and have bought in lots of people wanting to try it. The matcha is an organic product grown in the Kagoshima region of Japan.
All of the staff at Out of Order carry a love and passion for people, by bringing fun and energy to their interactions with customers and going the extra mile to chat to everyone that comes into the store.
The café always has great tunes pumping, and aims to bring the ‘good vibes’ to everyone’s day. The store aesthetic is fairly minimal, with clean white walls, wooden benches and lots of greenery, oh and just a splash of aqua which is Kelsey and Taelor’s favourite colour. A lot of customers comment on the relaxed, genuinely friendly atmosphere that welcomes everyone as an equal.
