In the leafy streets of Frankston South, a strong café culture has emerged, and locals are loving it. Mr Frankie on Norman Ave has built a solid reputation as the preferred destination for exceptional coffee and all-day brunch, with a vibe matching that of any funky inner-city café. With a focus on providing consistently high-quality coffee and food, this venue has already established a band of loyal customers, but there’s always a friendly welcome for anyone new entering its doors.
You can gauge how serious a café is about its coffee by its coffee machine. In the case of Mr Frankie, it’s high-end and front and centre, operated by talented baristas who pride themselves on delivering the perfect blend. Professionals appreciate working with professional tools and products, and Mr Frankie’s baristas enjoy the assurance of using top-of-the-range coffee from Industry Beans, a Melbourne brand finding increasing popularity on the Peninsula. To discerning customers, Mr Frankie’s coffee has a distinctly superior taste that keeps them coming back.
For those who appreciate great flavours, there’s still more to explore. Mr Frankie offers an all-day brunch menu filled with an extensive selection of delicious dishes catering to dietary preferences and requirements. Classic or innovative, sweet or savoury, kid-friendly, everyone is sure to find a favourite.
It’s a city-style café without the noise and fumes of busy traffic, so raise a toast to the good life while savouring a glass of Peninsula wine at one of the many outdoor street front tables. Cocktails are the ideal accompaniment to Mr Frankie by night, with Friday tapas nights throughout summer from early November.
Cosy and inviting during cooler weather, festive in the warm season, Mr Frankie is the place to be all year round.
