Panache Cafe & Creperie on Pakington Street was a friendly and cozy place with nice staff. I wanted to try the food and experience the ambiance, so we ordered a shared meal for two. The staff were kind enough to provide us with an extra plate and even added some extra ice cream on it. This thoughtful gesture made our visit even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. Regarding the food, I believe there is room for improvement and hope they make some enhancements soon. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

After participating in a Fun Run in Curlewis, it was time for a post run breakfast. Found Panache on Pakington Street, a well presented, intimate cafe and creperie and decided to have a savoury crepe and a big cappuccino. Thank you to the polite and courteous staff for making my time enjoyable.

We had lunch at Geelong West today and have always enjoyed our meals there! I was shocked to find one only staff member,who had to do it all! Far too much for one person ! She did an absolutely amazing job, considering. I hope her employer,will do the right thing and give her the help she needed! We waited a long time ,but understood the difficulty she was having! I honestly dont know how she managed it all. Well done,you deserve a raise at least !

Had breakfast there today. The crepes were yummy. Tried both veg and non veg. My flavoured cappuccino was fine as well. Tried stocky date cake with butterscotch glaze as well. It was ok. Not bad. Cake size was good enough for 2.

Panache Cafe and Creperie offer a wide range of sweet and savoury crepes, light snacks, cakes and other sweet treats to indulge your tastebuds. Combined with our own speciality roasted coffee, T2 tea and cold drinks, Panache Geelong is the perfect spot for lunch, dinner, dessert, or that much needed coffee break. The interior is pretty basic but still good creps
