About eeny meeny

Right across from Frankston station, this cozy retro spot delivers generous cafe classics, scratch baking, and an unexpectedly tranquil rear garden. Locals duck past the front counter to snag a table under the leaves—a quiet perch for lingering over the paper without any rush to clear out. The kitchen leans into hearty comfort, dishing up runny-egg ciabatta rolls, peanut-butter-stuffed Hong Kong French toast, and kimchi cheese toasties with house pickles. Pair your flat white with an iced chocolate or a treat from the front cake cabinet—like a house-made wagon wheel—or take a bag of spent coffee grounds for your compost on the way out.

  • Secluded rear courtyard: Tucked behind the busy front dining room, the leafy covered courtyard offers a calm, unhurried space to unwind.
  • Scratch-baked treats: Rotating slices, tea cakes, and retro treats like wagon wheels are baked fresh right on the premises.
  • Eco-friendly grounds: Patrons can grab bags of spent espresso grinds for home compost, plus discounts for bringing reusable cups.

  • Accommodating Dietary Care

  • Secluded Garden Courtyard Retreat

    Tucked behind the busy front counter lies a peaceful, leafy courtyard and covered garden where guests can escape street bustle in calm surroundings.

    From the front a bustling lil coffee shop super warm and inviting. Did not expect the beautiful little court yard in the back.

  • Unrushed Atmosphere to Unwind

    Patrons are encouraged to take their time, with cozy booths and shaded outdoor seating where lingering with a paper or hot drink is always welcomed.

    I also like they they let you linger on your coffee and read the paper at your leisure.

  • Comforting Local Haven

    Warm hospitality and familiar greetings make the cafe a calming sanctuary for solo visitors seeking comfort before busy days.

    I find this to be my happy place. Coming here at the end of the working week with my partner, sister or mother is what I always look forward to the most.

Hearty breakfast and lunch signatures

  • Hong Kong French Toast

    The hong kong french toast was unlike any other french toast I've had before. I will say that it was quite dense, and by dense i mean very filling. What I loved about it was that it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet and had great texture.

  • Chicken Parmagiana Toastie

    This is the Chicken Parmagiana toastie, which is exactly as delicious as it looks - finished in garlic butter.

  • Kimchi and Cheese Toastie

    I order the kimchi and cheese toastie $13.30, which I split with my friend, and a pot of rooibos mother earth tea $5.50 and the tea was so lovely, and the toastie was crispy on the outside and had melted cheese and kimchi on the inside.

    The Mocha was beautiful and tasted absolutely incredible. I think it was one of the best mocha's I've ever had.

  • Wagon Wheel

    today I chose a sweet- a wagon wheel - made on site and it didn't disappoint.

  • Soy Flat White

    I had a soy flat white and muffin. Coffee was perfect, good flavour, hot but not overly hot, creamy.

  • Potato Waffle

    I decided that I would try their egg and bacon roll, which I would have accompanied by a potato waffle.
