Geelong's Original Drive-Thru Coffee Shop
Bean Squeeze was founded in 2006 with a vision to revolutionize the coffee experience in Geelong. As the city's original drive-thru coffee provider, we combine convenience with quality, serving handcrafted beverages and wholesome, handmade food daily. Our philosophy of 'Leave Happier' guides every interaction, from the moment you order to the first sip of your custom-made drink. With 14 locations across Geelong and a dedicated kitchen facility, we remain proudly locally owned and operated, prioritizing community connections over franchise expansion. Our team of over 100 staff members brings passion to every product, whether it's our signature Matcha Over Ice or housemade toasties.We source premium ingredients like Coffee Supreme's espresso blend and La Madre sourdough to ensure exceptional taste. Through two decades of refining our drive-thru model, we've maintained fast service without compromising quality, rejecting loyalty card systems that might slow our workflow. Our commitment to freshness means daily deliveries of baked goods and meals crafted from scratch using recipes developed in-house. From our humble beginnings in Mercer Street to becoming a Geelong institution, we stay true to our founding principles of authenticity, community service, and spreading happiness through hospitality.
