Book NowAbout Frankie's Coffee and Eats
Frankie’s anchors Carrum Downs with hearty morning feasts, smooth flat whites, and a bright dining room framed by floral displays. Regulars pack the tables for generous plates that don't skimp on flavor—from spiced shakshuka to the towering brekky burger loaded with bacon and crisp hash browns. A signature twist swaps standard English muffins for a golden potato rosti base under the poached eggs benedict. Morning light pours past window tables while staff keep the pace relaxed and happy to chat, even happily splitting the bill at the counter.
- Potato Rosti Benedict: Poached eggs and hollandaise rest over a crisp potato rosti base instead of classic English muffins.
- Hearty Morning Fare: Plates arrive stacked with substantial portions, from spiced shakshuka and big breakfasts to brioche breakfast burgers.
- Split Bills Welcome: Counter staff accommodate itemized split bills, easing group brunch visits during busy weekend rushes.

For the eggs Benedict the base tasted like hash brown which gave it a unique flavour.
