24.01.2022 We did a call out recently, asking long-standing customers to get in touch. We were blown away to hear from a customer named Anthony, who first visited our Bellarine Hwy Store on the day it opened in 2008. He has been getting a coffee from Bean Squeeze twice a day, ever since! Your regular store? Bellarine Hwy, Newcomb. How do we fit into your day? I get a coffee on the way to work and on the way home after work during the week, and on the weekends when I drive to and from ...Geelong. The thing that keeps you coming back? The coffee is consistent in flavour, I like the beans you use. I have visited all of your stores and its always the same. Your staff are friendly and welcoming too. Your coffee order? I used to get a stretch latte, but now I get a mid latte with one sugar in my reusable cup How do you spend your days? Ive been in the Community Services sector for just over 10 years. I work with people dealing with substance abuse. Favourite thing to listen to when driving? I love music. I listen to Gold FM or I have my iPod in the car. I love Deep Purples music and music of that genre. Happiest when: Im with family or friends. Your 2020 in one word: Change You see the gift card Anthony is holding in the pic? Its the same one his parents gifted him for his birthday in 2008, he just tops it up as needed. We always knew we had the best customers. Thank you so much for all your years of support.

21.01.2022 While drive-thru is what we do, were still serving walk-up customers too. Theres been a few people asking this week, so if youre planning your daily walk or exercise outside and want to pick up a coffee or something to eat, please remember, its takeaway only, please keep 1.5M distance while waiting in our walk-up spaces, card payments only, AND most importantly, keep smiling and stay safe. #openforgeelong

21.01.2022 Handmade La Madre Croissant, Siketa ham and just the right amount of gruyre cheese. ui? #foodtogo

20.01.2022 Our team, your words. This is just one of the many positive, kind and supportive comments, reviews, emails and messages weve received recently. Thank YOU. And to our team ... ever adapting to change, they have done it all without missing a beat, continuing to serve our community (thats you!) both existing and new. Whether its a cup of coffee, breakfast on the way to work, an afternoon pick-me-up, or supplies for home, they have managed to keep delivering the experience yo...u all know and love. Geelong, were in this together. #happyeaster #dreamteam #community

20.01.2022 The local creative who worked with us on this art cup design? Joshua de Hoog. We have huge respect for his work and we love the way he was able to incorporate iconic Geelong landmarks like the bollards and GMHBA stadium, alongside elements of his take on leave happier. We collaborated with him and Platform Arts Curator, Amber Smith for this project, and we always love seeing your pics of this particular cup. Recently, Josh and his friend Kajeera completed a poetry series, taking requests for themes and crafting short poems to share and connect over during this weird time of social isolation. You can read Having a coffee here. Head over to their Instagram accounts to read the other poetry. Thank you guys, what a brilliant local initiative. #coffeeandcommunity #geelongcreatives #poeticcompany #leavehappier

19.01.2022 Weve had a few questions about our gift cards lately and yes, theyre still available for purchase and can be used at any Bean Squeeze drive-thru. This sentiment of purchasing now with the intention of visiting later or gifting to someone is seriously awesome too. Its this sort of gesture, goodwill, and kindness that gives us a real sense of optimism for what lay ahead, not only for us but for other Geelong cafes and businesses too. Weve said it before, and you bet well s...ay it again, thank YOU for continuing to make us part of your daily routine ... even if that routine looks a little (lot!) different these days #drivethru #leavehappier

13.01.2022 We always enjoy hearing your pay it forward stories, Claire shared this one with us a few days ago: A big shout-out to the white Land Rover at Bean Squeeze, Geelong West this morning. You not only paid for my coffee, but the entire row of cars in the drive-thru. Thank you. This is our community at its best. #kindnesscounts #openforgeelong

11.01.2022 The good stuff. Coffee (obviously!), but now more than ever, were seeing the power of community. These are just a few of the photos youve shared with us over the last week or so.

Please keep sharing, stay connected and take care. Were in this together. #coffeeandcommunity

08.01.2022 Throwing it back to October last year, when our team leaders spent a day workshopping together at Ravens Creek farm in Moriac. (Fun fact: Ravens Creek supply all the eggs we use for our toasties and snacks. Big shout-out to Hayden and his team!) What an epic day it was too.

06.01.2022 This long weekend gave us some time to pause and reflect (see things from a different perspective if you will!), we hope it was the same for you. Right now, its the little things & wins propelling us forward. For our team, it was celebrating 14 years of Bean Squeeze recently, chalking up one year at our Thompson Rd drive-thru, seeing 6 of our crew celebrate a service milestone in March, reading all of your kind words over the last few weeks ... the list goes on. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. #openforgeelong

05.01.2022 Becoming part of someones routine whether its daily or otherwise is not something we take for granted here. We recently put the call out to long-standing customers to share their stories with us and Sue got in touch. Sue first visited us 10 years ago and calls by every time shes in Geelong. What initially enticed me was the convenience and friendly staff, but the coffee was surprisingly delicious. There is a knack to keeping customers returning and Bean Squeeze has it.... Smiling, friendly staff, the coffee is always hot, always the same and its a moment in my day I can always rely upon. I usually come into Geelong about once a week and its not complete until my keep cup is filled with a mid-size cap from Shannon Ave. I may be a creature of habit, but Im more than happy with my weekly ritual! My days are busy on a working farm with my husband and theres nothing I love more than to head into Geelong knowing the trip home will be my car filled with the aroma of coffee and smooth 91.5 on the radio. Heres to a 2020 of simple pleasures in life, one filled with peace, happiness, and of course, coffee. Cheers Sue! #coffeeandcommunity

05.01.2022 Lunch made easy today. Our ham & cheese toastie and cold pressed OJ from Juice Culture. While La Madre handcraft the sourdough for our toasties, we take care of each filling, right down to making the tomato relish from scratch. #drivethru #openforgeelong

05.01.2022 *Giveaway over, winners contacted* Last chance to nominate someone for our Pay it Forward giveaway! Entries close 10pm tonight. #payitforwardday
