What's better than delicious crepes with an ocean view! Panache Cafe was recommended to us, and it didn't disappoint! Go bananas was great, and the salted caramel Kosciusko was phenomenal! Service was also terrific today. They went out of their way to accommodate our requests for the kid's drinks and to move to a table with more shade. Absolutely check them out!

We ordered Benedict Crepe and Banana Crepe with Flat white. Coffee was okay-ish. Crepe was very filling and came in a big size. Love the Benedict Crepe, it was thick, but somehow lack of season. Banana was good and delicate. Service can be slower when busy. Great location.

Nice spot out near the Geelong Waterfront. We sat outside in the sun which was lovely but the service wasn’t the greatest. We waited for 35 mins for two crepes to come out - Death by Chocolate and the Delhi crepe. They were nice in all fairness but when we tried to ask how much longer the food would be the response was “hopefully soon” and then the staff just carried on talking. Didn’t even go and check on the food. Anyway - it was fine overall. Possibly caught them not on their finest day. Nice selection of cakes in the cabinet.

I recently visited Panache Cafe on Geelong's waterfront and was disappointed with the experience. The service was notably slow, with our coffees arriving one at a time, with a 3-4 minute gap between each. My weak flat white was bitter and required at least two sugars to make it palatable, when I would normally have none or half a teaspoon. To add to the disappointment, the lemon meringue was more like a lemon cheesecake, which wasn't what I expected. Overall, the experience fell short of expectations.

Has been a go to place for a long time though hours of opening are shorter than previously. Food great ,staff pleasant but why would they start mopping floors over an hour and a half before they close. I have watched many people wanting to sit on the couches inside the front of the cafe only to be told the area is closed off. This never happened under the previous proprietor. Some of these people have left the cafe so loss of business
