There aren't that many cafes in Carrum Downs, especially if you don't want McCoffee. Frankies is our favourite place for consistent, good food and coffee. I usually order the smashed avocado w/ poached eggs on sourdough and I love it. Very occasionally the eggs haven't been as cooked as I would have liked but that is unusual and not a massive problem for me. My husband usually gets the chicken burger, which is a generous size.There is a good selection of food, both made to order and ready made wraps and focaccias. Wide range of cakes, their white choc raspberry muffins are delicious!I've always found the staff to be friendly, efficient and helpful.It's a good spot to meet friends of have a q...
I've been here a few times with my fiance. We are vegetarian and there are a few option on the menu. The food is nice and presented well. I was quite excited we'd found a great local cafe.... Until our last visit, we were going to grab lunch. I checked the menu and it clearly states meals can be changed for dietary requirements. I was going to get smashed avo, which is $17 and comes with 2 eggs. I am transitioning to vegan so I asked if the eggs could be substituted, I was told no, I could remove the eggs and still pay the full amount. We decided to cancel lunch, my fiance ordered a takeaway coffee that took nearly 20mins. The girl serving us was very apologetic but as I said to her, it's a...

The Dukes Coffee served here was tasty!
FOOD
My favorite dish was the granola panna cotta, combining two of my preferred brunch options in one! The portion sizes were generous for the price, and the fusion of granola panna cotta was a hit in my book. The panna cotta was creamy with a good consistency, and the nuts, seeds, and fruits in the granola added a sweet yet slightly savory touch to the dish.
The service was exceptionally friendly, with all staff members willing to engage in conversation. The staff were accommodating and lovely, enhancing the overall dining experience.
We had a lovely experience at Frankie’s! Such great service, yummy food and good coffee. <br/ <br/ It was great way to see many vegan options available. I tried the Vegan Salad and it was super satisfying! Loved the presentation too.<br/ <br/ We also tried some fresh juice, great for a hot day! <br/ <br/ Such a good location, ample parking too. Def recommend if you’re in the area!!!

My partner and I popped into Frankies for a quick coffee but after checking out the menu we decided to grab some brunch. There were several vegetarian options, I got the sliders and they were fantastic. The coffee was great, staff were friendly and helpful and the cafe has a welcoming atmosphere.
Tucked away in a quiet corner. Friendly staff and food was delicious and a great vibe. Meals are presented attractively. Chai latte could have been a little hotter but otherwise definitely come back again.
It's always quite nice here, the food is really great and coffee. It's what is needed for this little shopping centre. However, the only down side is the acoustics, it's always rather noisy inside.
I regularly come down to frankies for breakfast on a Sunday, Iv never had an issue there breakfast is always amazing. Great price and a big range of food options for everyone.
