THE Garden Street/Ormond Road shopping strip in East Geelong is a vibrant and diverse shopping experience that I can highly recommend.
If you’re just after a coffee or some lunch with friends, there is a great choice of eateries to choose from. Mr Willis Cafe, the Fig and Vine, Lucy Lockey Cafe or the Black Cup – you will be spoilt for choice.
Like any busy person I love the fact that there are lots of shopping options within the strip. I can get my hair done at Blondies, Stephen’s Hair & Co, Amili Hair Design or Headfirst Hair Design, pick up some gifts at Grandmas Bottom Draw, Goose, The Earth Nest, Kymba, Geelong Miners Cottage or Frank and Dollys.
It’s always handy at the East Geelong Newsagents to pick up newspapers, grab a coffee and do my posting. If you’re after something special or need to update your wardrobe, Mrs Peony Ladies Fashion is worth a visit or budget shoppers can check out St Matthew’s Op Shop. For the kids check out Ryder Loves Miller kids wear.
I love the Flower Bowl Florist, it is a great place to buy yourself some flowers or as a gift for someone and then of course you can walk across to Wine Domaine or Celebration for a good bottle of local wine.
On the way home drop into Brumbys, Foodworks, the East Fruit Market, Routleys or order a pizza from Table 10.
This great shopping strip makes East Geelong a desirable location to live.
