You know when you come across people who just love what they do, and take pride in their work? That’s the staff at Genesis- so genuinely enthusiastic and passionate about their business and it comes through in their quality coffee and food. The coffee is simply perfect, so smooth and flavourful. The food is fresh, tasty and prepared with love. Cool clean vibes that we love to visit when we’re nearby. The drive thru aspect is EVERYTHING, what I would’ve given to have this close by when I had napping babies in the car!! You can pick up a much needed quality caffeine hit for yourself, healthy fresh food for kids, all without having to get out of the car! And while supporting a cherished small business. My parents who are both disabled/elderly like to come past also and they can get the best coffee and Haloumi cheese pies (which they love), without having to make the effort of getting out of the car- especially in temperamental Melbourne weather. We wish you the very best with your wonderful business.

Classic favourites for children including banana bread, sandwiches, and our daughter’s favourite babychino!

A colleague recommended this place and I had to try out being a coffee lover. This place did not disappoint! The store is fairly new. It’s a drive through store as it says but anyone can just simply walk inside. That being said. It was well-worth the visit and I'll be returning. The staff was friendly. The coffee was great and it's located across the freeway. It's a bit hidden so don't despair if you don't immediately see it. There's also some interesting menu which I would definitely like to try. Still having sip of my coconut latte as I type and it just so good. Not every store does coconut latte and even if they do it’s not easy to get it right.

Popped past this morning after seeing some recommendations flooding in on the Cheltenham Facebook Community page, and was not disappointed. The Coffee was great, and delivered fast. I opted for an Egg & Bacon Focaccia, which was very nice and had generous portions of bacon and egg, and just the right amount of BBQ sauce which I asked for. The staff were extremely friendly and chatted with me in the short amount of time I waited for the food, and you could see they were very enthusiastic and passionate about their new business venture. I'm confident based on my experience today, they will do well and encourage you to try them out!

LOVE this place. I take my work client through drive thru and they adore her and are just so lovely. So refreshing to see as we often used to have far more negative experiences when we went for coffee or food elsewhere. They are so friendly and kind to her, regardless of her disability, and they are always so excited to see us. The food and coffee is always 10/10, cannot fault it! Very welcoming staff and always go above and beyond for us.

Wonderful place, drive through coffee and food, drive a little further up Fri the Golden Arches and you’ll get great quality FRESH and healthy food, and amazing coffee. The coffee is amazing, and consistently good. They texturise the milk very well as well so it’s always nice and creamy. Protein balls are a very healthy version, not too sweet, made in house.

The proprietor. Jack met me with a welcoming smile. The coffee is outstanding as it is very difficult to get a good Mochacino in Melbourne, every sip was a joy. The egg and bacon Focaccia was very tasty and a perfect temperature to eat. I highly recommend Genesis drive through Coffee and I will be back.

Really great staff!! Always friendly and go above and beyond to make customers happy. I don’t want to have to say this but I do want to come back so I would love to pass along my feedback!! For a drive through coffee shop I find the coffee is very average. I got a cappacino with no froth and no chocolate on top almost feels as if I made it myself. If you your improve a bit on the coffee your business will be winning :)

Thought I'd give them a go, their egg and bacon muffins are cheap and tasty, there was some miscommunication with my coffee (likely me mumbling) and they gave it to me for free. Coffee was delicious too, if you live in Melbourne you're a coffee snob - this place doesn't disappoint.Friendly staff and will definitely back, highly recommend.

Great friendly service and a great concept - the croissants however are a bit leathery the ham and cheese could have had more ham for the croissant ration, the egg and avo croissant was very light on avo.
