The Pickers Union

Geelong has attracted more than its fair share of innovative business aspirants keen to contribute to the growth of the city’s cafe culture; the folk at The Pickers Union are no exception. Tacked on to an antiques warehouse, the cafe’s eccentric vintage aesthetic has found a captive audience in market bargain-hunters while its fab Cartel coffee and bright plates succeed in attracting a scene-savvy clientele. Sweet is the crunch of a corn-cake stack, while simple poached eggs are taken up a notch by La Madre sourdough. House-made rhubarb cake is old-school in the best way, and the signature crazy slice must be tasted.
