Blank Space Newtown

Best Known For

Chermoula-roasted chicken, grilled flatbread, mint, labneh, pickled shallots and herb salad.

A passion for the tight-knit Geelong community is the lifeblood of café Blank Space Newtown, located at the river end of Pakington Street. Owners Josh and Katie Armstrong have created a funky New York City vibe, providing exceptional Industry Beans coffee, a seasonally-inclusive menu and cheeky cocktails. Vibrant murals set the scene for chilling out in surrounds of neon signage, trailing greenery and exposed bulb lighting; start your day right with dishes like eggs Benny on brioche toast, with seared mustard ham, broccolini, poached eggs, English Hollandaise and fried onions. Stop by later and delve into the likes of a Mexican burrito bowl – spiced chicken, rice, salsa, corn, lettuce, guacamole, sour creams, chipotle BBQ sauce and fried tortilla crisps – washed down with an Apple Mojito.
