Coffee, cakes, croissant sandwiches - Interlude Cafe and Charlie Bakery have Grovedale sorted for breakfast, lunch and dessert.
“Interlude is a temporary amusement or diversion that contrasts with what goes before or after…”. We are your amusement and your diversion, your break from work, life, kids and whatever else you need a moment from.
Here we have the meaning behind the café, Interlude, this is a container café, located on the busy Torquay Highway, offering an outdoor space for a range of takeaway food and coffee.

Providing gourmet toasties – made with care and love – and a range of menu items including smashed avocado, and acai bowls, as well as belly warmers such as porridge and soup coming into the cold winter season.
Employing a humble little team dedicated to serving their loyal and new customers to the best of their ability – always with a smile and a willingness to have a long chat over their morning or afternoon coffee, interlude is the definition of a local Geelong café.
Back in May 2023, the team opened their third venue, Charlie Bakery – which is just located around the corner on Burdoo Drive in Grovedale. This is where the incredible and to-die-for pastries are made, and then they travel on down to Interlude Café, giving customers the option to order something sweet, tasty and homemade with their delicious coffee. Charlie Bakery features a range of sweet and savoury options, including their mouth-watering house made Shokupan bread sanga’s AND muffins, a croissant sandwich, and a range of delicious other goodies to keep you coming back for more.

The team at Interlude pride themselves on freshness and quality and believe their customers keep coming back and passing on the word, knowing regulars and newcomers won’t be disappointed.
The best thing about a container café, is that they are pup friendly – and even include a range of doggo treats from Baked By Bree, so it’s the perfect morning, afternoon or weekend outing for you and your furry friend – coffee, pastries and dog treats, this is the best of all three worlds.
Having opened up initially as a little coffee van in the height of the COVID 19 pandemic, the team at Interlude are incredibly grateful for the continuous support from the community, saying that if it wasn’t for the local and wider community cheering them on and supporting them the way we know best, they would have never grown to be what they are today.
The team is always looking forward to meeting new customers. It is a pleasure to serve their customers, and provide them with products that will put a smile on their face and they are grateful for every interaction they have. They hope to fill your little gaps in life with joy and delicious coffee – and they don’t disappoint.
