Great cafe offering a wide range of brunch options as well as an extensive drinks menu. Plenty of indoor seating with some tables outside too. Fast friendly service and lots of free parking nearby. I had scrambled eggs on Turkish toast with a side of mushrooms accompanied by a Dirty Chai Latte. All delicious and I didn’t wait long for the meal after ordering.

Frankies Pakenham is a great place to eat! The food is fresh, tasty, and looks really nice. The coffee and Mochanut drinks are amazing. Even when it’s busy, the staff are friendly and make sure you’re looked after. Everything, from the chips to the eggs, is cooked well. It’s a nice, lively place to enjoy breakfast or lunch. They really care about making customers happy, and every visit is a good one. Highly recommend
An enjoyable brunch here. The staff were very welcoming and friendly which made the experience even better. The portions were generous for the price which offering great value. I also loved the cold drink, perfectly refreshing on a warm day.
I ate here twice in two days. On the first day, my chicken burger was cooked and presented wonderfully. A little more flavour would have pleased me, but I'm quibbling. The second day was an outstanding breakfast of eggs Benedict and their smoky beans. Absolutely wonderful! The only negative was on the second day with a family ensconced in a corner who appeared to delight in making as much noise as they could. They were there before I arrived and were still hammering at the tables when I left. If the management can weed-out such cretins, then I think its success is assured. I noted that the staff were friendly but still very efficient and were happy and comfortable there, but never at any stage did they compromise their service. This points to some pretty good leadership. I wish Frankie's every success and will not hesitate to return when next I'm in the region.
Service with a smile and a mighty good coffee to go with it! Very impressed with our visit to Frankie's, they came highly recommended. The team on the counter were so bright and approachable. Best coffee in the area. Food smelled and looked incredible, as I watched plates of food pass me by, while I was struggling to decide. Everything was so fresh and super tasty! Thanks a million
Amazing food. Very busy but with enough staff to handle it.
I am positive most food places dread me coming in the door, I really don't mean to be fussy but I admit that I am. I order items off the menu and expect to get what I've ordered. I'm surprised at how difficult it is to find somewhere that can do this. This place was absolutely perfect, from the amazing coffee, to the spot on food but what really topped it off was the wait staff, they were all happy and nothing was a problem. Even when they weren't interacting with customers, they were all smiles and seemed happy to be there. That is a rare thing to find in this industry. I will definitely be back
