Southside - Newtown (Greater Geelong)

Big fan of Southside. Love the food, have had something from nearly all the main food groups. Burgers, tacos, burritos, big breaky Top coffee. Love the vibe of the place, especially hanging in the greenery of the front sun room with a group of friends.

This has to be shared as I think it is the most disgusting and rude experience I had as a customer. I was recently introduced in southside café on pakington st newtown and became a regular until yesterday! the owner is the most aggressive and ignorant man I have surpassed. he sat next to us, was eves falling on our conversation then continuing to tell us about a freaky comment I made. my coffee was not as I had ordered, so I wanted to draw attention to one of the workers and actually said, excuse me twice when she went by, but at the end I took my coffee to replace the counter. not only did he hear everything...read more

We came here with some friends when another place was closed and was pleasantly surprised. the highlight was the pizza thing that was surprising and everything else was quite good, will come back definitiw!
