FAQs

  • No, WYM is an independent business.
    While we’re based within a council-owned site, we operate separately. As such, we often work alongside the City of Greater Geelong and the lovely team at the Geelong Botanic Gardens. This helps things run smoothly to create an enjoyable experience for everyone.

  • WYM is ‘Where You Meet’

  • Early on, we were looking up synonyms for ‘whimsical’, ‘treasure trove’, ‘gathering place’, ‘meet up’ etc. Everything that this little gem of a place represented.

    ‘WYM’ seemed to encapsulate all of these things!

    We changed ‘whim’ spelling to not only look groovy (with the unbalanced symmetry that is just so satisfying to look at), but also to suit the name of Where You Meet. It has a unique, quirky perfection to it – just the vibe we want to portray.

  • Picture saying 'WYM' as if you're deciding things ‘on a whim' — a whimsical and spontaneous act. The pronunciation itself mirrors this whimsy, creating a playful and unpredictable verbal twist!

  • No reservations here, just friendly faces and open doors. Our cozy little cafe adores walk-ins! Feel free to drop by anytime; the gardens boast plenty of benches nestled in nature. Grab some takeout, find a comfy spot, and relax!

  • Most of our seating is outdoors, surrounded by beautiful gardens.
    If it starts to rain, don’t worry – much of the dining area is undercover, and we’ve got heaters to keep things cosy.
    For extra shelter, we also have a few seats inside along the front windows.

  • Yes, indeed! WYM welcomes pets with open paws. Dog water bowls and puppacinos available, just remember to keep them outside, on-lead and be respectful of everyone visiting.

  • You bet! WYM is perfect for kids, offering room to run, high chairs, an open layout for visibility, and comfy, stable chairs for the whole family.

  • Absolutely! We have a variety of delicious options for our vegetarian and vegan friends.

  • Yes, we do! Both the sweeties and savouries.

    Bonus: Most of our menu can be transformed into gluten-free !

    A heads-up: while we're vigilant about gluten, with trusty tools, like special boards, tongs, gloves and parchment paper, cross-contamination may occur.

    If you are coeliac, please let us know - even for coffee as some of our milks contain gluten.
