So SO happy I stumbled across this place on google while looking for local late afternoon coffee! they were so kind and generous they gave us a free acia for our first visit we’re instant loyal customers! I’m so happy that there’s a local place for extended hours coffee and yummy snacks that isn’t a big fast food company. thanks Genesis cafe for making our day

You know when you come across people who just love what they do, and take pride in their work? That’s the staff at Genesis- so genuinely enthusiastic and passionate about their business and it comes through in their quality coffee and food. The coffee is simply perfect, so smooth and flavourful. The food is fresh, tasty and prepared with love. Cool clean vibes that we love to visit when we’re nearby. The drive thru aspect is EVERYTHING, what I would’ve given to have this close by when I had napping babies in the car!! You can pick up a much needed quality caffeine hit for yourself, healthy fresh food for kids, all without having to get out of the car! And while supporting a cherished small business. My parents who are both disabled/elderly like to come past also and they can get the best coffee and Haloumi cheese pies (which they love), without having to make the effort of getting out of the car- especially in temperamental Melbourne weather. We wish you the very best with your wonderful business.

A colleague recommended this place and I had to try out being a coffee lover. This place did not disappoint! The store is fairly new. It’s a drive through store as it says but anyone can just simply walk inside. That being said. It was well-worth the visit and I'll be returning. The staff was friendly. The coffee was great and it's located across the freeway. It's a bit hidden so don't despair if you don't immediately see it. There's also some interesting menu which I would definitely like to try. Still having sip of my coconut latte as I type and it just so good. Not every store does coconut latte and even if they do it’s not easy to get it right.
