Far from your regular cafe, Sweet Adeline cafe is nestled behind the giant trees on the bank of the Barwon River, boasting some of the best views in Geelong.
This stylishly renovated 1950’s caravan is permanently positioned on what was once a barren car park, which has since been transformed into a lush and welcoming garden space.
Sweet Adeline owners Bart & JT are dedicated to providing a safe, affable and happy environment to all who venture through their gates. Guests are met with relaxing jazz tunes and sometimes live musical entertainment, while children will marvel at the play area which includes a sandpit, basketball court and juggling equipment. There’s even pavement chalk for the kids to express themselves creatively while parents enjoy their favourite beverages and snacks.

While never failing to hit the cravings, your furry friends get to indulge too with a dedicated filtered drinking fountain for parched doggies as well as treats and lovingly crafted puppacinos. Bike riders can park within the property for ease of mind and there is a heated glamping tent complete with board games and book swap for when the weather turns inclement.
Becoming the city’s most wholesome purveyors of damn fine cups of coffee, permaculture and sustainability are a staple at the cafe. The coffee cups and lids are fully compostable and are processed on the property along with coffee grounds and other appropriate compostables. Water is redirected from the neighbouring business’s ice machine run off to passively water the edible garden.
Worth visiting for the experience alone, Sweet Adeline’s food and beverages only add to the appeal, being both delicious and affordable. Indulge in 100% organic blend coffee, premium hot chocolate and Chai, or cool down with smoothies, milkshakes and fresh pressed juice.
A hidden gem, the serene Sweet Adeline is found just a stroll across the river from Highton and Belmont. You won’t regret spending a moment here by the beautiful Barwon river for the best coffee in Geelong (and quite possibly, the world).
