About Frank's

Tucked into a quiet Cheltenham side street, Frank’s delivers electric cafe energy and inventive morning plates. Regulars lock in weekend bookings to beat the rush, greeted instantly with complimentary chilled still or sparkling water. The open kitchen powers through orders with swift precision, sending out melt-in-the-mouth pork belly benedict, crispy enoki mushrooms, and fiery chilli scramble. Tables spill out onto the footpath benches away from arterial traffic, where smooth flat whites land beside cold coffee thickshakes.

  • Complimentary Sparkling Water: Complimentary carafes of sparkling or still water are poured at table arrival without an extra surcharge.
  • Advance Bookings Welcomed: Table reservations are accepted for daytime and weekend service, keeping wait times manageable during busy rushes.
  • Open Kitchen Counter: A wide-open layout gives guests direct line of sight to the pass as the culinary team plates dishes.
