Great open space, simple menu but good coffee. Open kitchen so you can watch food prep 🥘 Has balcony over looking railway. This would be great space for functions or large celebrations👌

It was averagely good. Food was good and service was good. Good to go restaurant,never been, at Geelong.

A fantastic cafe. A really trendy spot that’s packed on weekends, so to avoid the crowds the weekdays are much more chilled. I’ve had both brunch and lunch here. The brunch French toast was phenomenal! Perfectly cooked, not overly eggy like some can be and loved the berries, granola and lemon curd. Very generous portion too! The lunch main - chicken Parma was absolutely delicious. Best fries I’ve had in a while too and the chop salad was fab as well. But wow.. that Garlic pizza was top notch. Service was great, loved the chic industrial interior and if you have a baby / pram you’ve got loads of room too. A 5/5!

Very accommodating and caring staff. We took our dog during a cold and wet day but they let us walk thru the restaurant to the back where we were under cover with a warm heater. Our dog was scared to walk thru but the waitress there tried her best to encourage him in. Food was nice but portions were a little small for the price. But a great experience overall.

The French Toast I had at Pako Raw was a tour-de-force of taste, texture and looks. It was almost a shame to eat what could have passed for art. Still, I pushed through 😲👋 and devoured the dish, and it didn't disappoint. Flavours flowed in every bite, all the way to the last bite. The fruit tasted fresh, the toast wasn't soggy and the lemon curd gently supported the whole dish. Glorious 👍. My coffee was also a fabulous distraction from the day, and complimented my brekki. The staff were very welcoming on my visit and provided a great table service. The cafè is spacious, bright, clean and has a modern tone to it. There is a large decked area at the rear of the interior if you fancy some alfresco dining. Do take this wonderful eatery for a spin.

The Corn Fritters are soo good. The service is excellent. I would love to mention Ell whom I asked her name. They could do with some name tags for their employees. There is a rear balcony you can have your dogs on. They even serve dogachinos.

We had our son's 1st birthday party here at Industrie and can not recommend it enough! From my first chat with Katrina to the very end of our event she was nothing but kind, accommodating and patient throughout the entire process. She made planning our event so care free that I had absolutely no doubt it would run smoothly. And that it did! We all had a fabulous day, the food was delicious and the staff as always were so welcoming and beautiful. Katrina and Jason should be so proud of the space they have created here at Industrie, it is a place you want to return to as you are made to feel so welcome and at home here! Thank you again Katrina and Jason you guys are legends! Can't wait to see you guys again soon 💓

The staff go above and beyond to cater to your needs. They are some of the most friendly staff you'll come across. The only cafe in Geelong that truly loves dogs as much as we do. Our girls love their puppy chino. Great coffee and great brunch.

Had the big brekkie, eggs your way, sourdough toast, bacon, grilled pork belly (yes!), hash brown, grilled mushrooms and tomato. An excellent breakfast, made up for breakfast and lunch. The atmosphere is great, nice open space, indoors and outdoors. Staff stated that a lot of people use it for small gatherings, events etc. Very neat and clean, and staff excellent.

From the first email to arrange our function to the evening of our event Trina was so helpful, friendly and took care of every detail! Our daughters 18th birthday function was truly an amazing celebration at this fantastic venue. Would highly recommend for any event! All guests raved about the food, drinks and service on the night. Thanks for a fabulous night will definitely be back!

The food is simple and delicious, I had poached eggs, bacon, hash brown and spinach. I’ll give 4.5 stars as we did wait quite a while for our food, (I’m sure that’s not a usual thing), but the staff gave us a genuine apology, and it was worth the wait. Customer service was excellent. Good variety on the menu, as well as GF and DF options available. I really like the industrial atmosphere, hence the name ‘Industrie26’, lots of brick, wood, and very large hanging lights. Very trendy and relaxing. The cafe is quite large with seating for many people, having a mixture of tables/chairs and large booths (can seat 8/10 people), plus an outdoor decked seating area. Family, friends and child friendly. A place for everyone. Plenty of room for prams. This is my second time here and would definitely visit again. I think I’ll try the fritters next time 👌🏻 Church St end of Pakington St. Parking available. PS: Dog friendly as well. Doggy’s are welcomed and can have puppuccinos, and fancy cookie dog biscuits.

We all have our bad days and today must of been a shocker. Relatively quiet. Plenty of tables. Sat on outside deck which was lovely. Table covered in jam or sauce. Ordered. 15 minutes to get coffee. 20 to get uninspiring pineapple juice. Food turned up 35 minutes after order. Chilli scrambled eggs that were cold. Ordered bacon and avocado that never turned up. Got an apology and oh well I’ll take that off the bill like I am getting a huge favour. Don’t forget the dogs fighting on the deck just to top it off. Must be a bad day cause a cafe with 4.6 rating can’t get so many things wrong and get such high numbers. Or maybe the freckle on the tea spoon counts for more with others than me

Great food, terrific coffee and a lovely atmosphere. It is a wonderful venue to hold a gathering or party. So good in fact, I’ve already booked our next December’s End of Year Party. Jas and Katrina were so accommodating to our growing number of guests. Their staff were excellent. Food and drinks came out promptly. Fantastic Venue!!!!!

I booked the venue for a work function. From the time of contacting Trina communication has been great, making things easy. The venue space is lovely. The food was delicious and had a great atmosphere. They were also able to cater to dietaries which helped us immensely. The space being so open and airy were able to host a large gathering. They together with their Chef were helpful in choosing the most suitable options from their menu to suit our needs. Our event went smoothly and was a great success. Both Trina and Jason have been lovely, helpful and so easy to deal with. They both went above and beyond in making the event a success. Would recommend Pako Raw and hoping to visit again.

The team at Pako Raw were an absolute pleasure to work with. Pako Raw was the venue for a baby shower I did a balloon set up for. The staff were lovely, accomodating and super helpful. They made such a great first impression that I even ended up taking my family there the next day for brunch and the food was also fantastic!

We recently held a function at Industrie 26 for my 30th birthday. Katrina, Jason and the whole team were fantastic to deal with and so accommodating! The space is beautiful, a great size, but still feels intimate with a lot of guests. There were so many food options and we could easily cater to all dietary requirements without compromising on flavour! The food was a standout. We were so happy with everything and would highly recommend Industrie 26 for your next function.

Industrie was a fantastic venue for my work's Christmas party. It's got a modern, clean feel to it with high ceilings and plenty of room for dancing, mingling and eating. The food was amazing and the owners were very attentive to details with the menu we asked for: in particular the platters, which were completely gluten free, were well set out and even included some very tasty items like dragonfruit. Also don't miss looking at the cocktail menu which had some good options. I'd recommend it for any event such as ours but feel it would be a very good versatile space as well. Can't wait to go back!

We had our engagement party here over the weekend and had the best night! Katrina was absolutely amazing while planning our event and made everything so carefree. Katrina and Jason have a fantastic space here and are so welcoming and accommodating. The atmosphere and food was perfect. We’re so glad we chose to have our event here.

Outstanding customer service. Nothing was too much issue at all. Chef come out to explain ingredients to my wife who can’t have certain foods. Made her and amazing dish. The Pako burger was amazing as well. The rich smooth coffee blend was also amazing. This place has a great fell for a meal or a catch up with mates for a coffee. Try it out you want be disappointed.

Had a lovely experience for our large group booking of 18. A busy Sunday morning & we were well looked after. Coffee/drinks orders taken promptly on arrival, followed by our meals, which everyone was happy with & a great selection for brunch. Some had breakfast others ordered lunch items. Staff were amazing, accommodating & were very busy! Thank you for a great morning 😀

Wow, Yes, the team here deserves all the 5 star reviews! The personal service was fantastic, helpful and genuinely interested in making their customers feel like family, the food.. tasted so good! Everything we ordered for dinner and dessert were rich in flavour and created to be the best it could be, and very generous sized servings! Try the baked cheesecake! My compliments and thanks to the kitchen crew, my food baby says hello 👋 😋

What a welcoming place. Not only great food & coffee but staff who make you feel special. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for them. When staff are this relaxed & happy, even when they're busy, you know that they have great bosses. Try the sweet potato fries... yum.

We are regulars (weekly) at Pako Raw. We love that you are able to get a coffee after a long day at work. (most places close earlier than 6pm.) The venue is spacious and comfortable - a very relaxing place to spend time. The quality of the food is consistently excellent and the service is always friendly and efficient. It's also a great place to host a function. Do yourself a favour and drop by for a coffee, a meal or a wine or two and enjoy the welcoming vibe.

I had the more amazing night of my 21st thanks to Trins and Jason the owners of industrie 26 cafe! The whole process of having a function with this venue was so easy and exciting every step of the way. I honestly made sure to set up my final walk through of the venue before the event at dinner time and the parmi, sweet potato chips, dumplings and boa buns didn’t disappoint. The food for the event was (without a word of a lie) the best food I had ever had at a function and all good could be suited to my guests who had dietary requirements. This was un unforgettable night for myself as well as family and friends so a massive thank you to all the hard work of industrie 26 cafe

I had such an amazing Sunday at Industrie with my friend. Came there at 1, had a look at what looked like a really tasty and affordable menu, I, then, had a delicious and filling chicken burger. After talking for hours with my friend, we were offered 2 chais because everybody else has left the place, but we were still welcomed to stay. Time went by and as a birthday was going to be celebrated in the evening in the restaurant, we were offered the menus again, since we felt so comfortable on those booths, we didn’t even realize… it was already nighttime! That’s when I picked the absolutely gorgeous and mouth-watering Dumplings and Bao Buns ❤️ One of the best way to end the week, especially after a Saturday night out. A warm welcome from everyone from the staff, is exactly what I needed. I would more than recommend this place, for coffees, breakfast, lunch, dinner, everything, all at once, like I did ! The venue has so much potential for big events if you wanna celebrate with your family and friends ! (+ i loved their playlist as well, they’re smashing at everything they’re doing!!!)

If you are looking for impeccable service, an incredible atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food and coffee, then Pako Raw is the jackpot. From the moment my father and I stepped into this huge café we immediately felt welcomed and valued. We were met with a lovely welcoming woman who showed us where we could be seated. They attended to us and I never felt I had to go out of my way to get service. I had 3 servers come one after another at one point check on us and make sure if we needed to order and to make sure we weren't forgotten or left behind and had been seen. The menu was simple and easy to select what you wanted but also offered enough options to provide variety. The food was delicious, I ordered the chilli scrambled eggs and I enjoyed every bite. The coffee was fantastic and what was even better was the owners came out and told my father and I that our next coffee was on the house!!! What a treat! They were so facilitating and kind, just genuinely pure hearted people who are passionate at what they do and care for their customers. Overall a very memorable and beautiful experience, very worthy of a long winded review like this. I cannot recommend this establishment enough!!! Make sure to make it your next date or catch up spot 😉

Sunday morning breakfast around 9am. Excellent start with the the skinny flat white and sticky chai latte (mug size) - the coffee was really very good, as was the chai - both were served quickly and really nice and hot. We ordered the chilli scrambled eggs and French toast, both dishes were a very good choice. The scrambled eggs were made with kimchi (Korean pickled veg) and served on two pieces of very tasty sourdough. Not too spicy, eggs were soft and flavour was really very good. The French toast was beautifully made, soft and delicious surrounded by a great combination of sour, fruity compote of berries to balance the sweet components of the lemon curd and syrup. The fresh slices of banana and oat and seed topping finished the dish nicely. Both portions were industrial in size but very moreish! Very accessible and industrial in architecture (hence the name, presumably) but warm and inviting. Staff were friendly and service was quick. A good choice in our opinion.

Katrina & Jason are the most amazing venue owners ever. As a wedding vendor myself, it is so nice to walk into a space knowing that they want the best for everyone. They made me feel comfortable & so right at home! I didn’t even need to ask if there was anywhere to hold my bags while I was conducting a wedding ceremony, it was all on offer. If you want to host an event, Industrie 26 would be my place to go, the service, communication, the willingness assist and to just get it done is amazing. You can tell these two have had years of experience in the hospitality industry! P.s vendors, you will have no issues feeling at ease & comfortable at Industrie 26!

Hosted my 30th birthday here with 70 guest, stand up casual canapé style party, Trins and Jase were an amazing help from booking right till the close of the party, they couldnt help more if they tried, guests (some who had traveled from Melbourne and interstate) were very impressed with the food and the venue, everything ran very smoothly. Wouldn’t hesitate to use there space again!

We had a group of 20 ladies in at 10am for breakfast. The girl who looked after our table did an excellent job. Orders were taken and brought out quickly with no fuss. The corn fritters were tasty and a perfect sized meal for me. Staff seemed pretty under the pump, I assume because the Geelong Cats were in the AFL Grand final and the cafe was closing at 12pm, so they all did very well. Katrina was vibrant and accommodating in all communication so would definitely go back again, especially with a large group.

Coffee was good (long black with a bonus freckle!), as was service & atmosphere. But I'm not sure I believed you could make a bad chicken parmigiana until I had it here. Too thin, no flavour, and bottom was "mushy". Gave the impression of eating wet bread. Very disappointing.

Katrina and Jason were absolutely a pleasure to work with for our surprise wedding (disguised as an engagement party). They are both fantastic communicators and ensured everything we wanted for our special day was in place! The food was amazing and they had a great selection of drinks on hand. They even bought me my favourite gin to have on the night! Their staff are also very lovely, with a warm smile to welcome you into the venue. The atmosphere of Industrie 26 is absolutely breathtaking, and makes for the ideal location for any event! We will definitely be back in the future for other special events!

We had our engagement party for 110 people here and it was nothing short of spectacular! We can’t recommend this venue enough. The owners Trin and Jason go above and beyond, they put so much love, care and attention to detail into the events and they were just the loveliest people to work with. Everyone was raving about how great the service was and how the food was abundant and delicious. The space looked great too and we wouldn’t change a thing about the night!
