About Joe Frank

Perched right off the Anniversary Trail, this Ashburton corner hub fuels walkers, runners, and cyclists with clean flat whites and serious daytime fare. Step up to the dedicated trailside window for a quick iced drink on the fly, or bring the dog through to the leafy back courtyard for a relaxed morning spread. Regulars lean into hearty Reuben toasties with crisp chips, sriracha maple bacon, or an oat magic pulled by dialed-in baristas.

  • Trailside Takeaway Window: An exterior service hatch faces the Anniversary Trail, dispensing takeaway specialty coffee and iced drinks directly to passing cyclists and runners.
  • Pet-Friendly Courtyard: A spacious, sunlit courtyard out back warmly welcomes dogs and families settling in for a long brunch.

  • Spacious Dog-Friendly Courtyard

    The spacious rear courtyard provides a relaxed, pet-friendly outdoor dining atmosphere with plenty of room for dogs and families.

    We loved having brunch with our dog in the lovely courtyard, and the food and coffee was amazing.

  • Relaxed Family Atmosphere

    Patrons enjoy a relaxed sit-down experience welcoming to both family outings and quiet coffee breaks away from busy indoor counters.

    there's a fantastic spacious area at the back, and I'm counting down 'til when I can get the family here for a sit down meal

  • Warm, Attentive Hospitality

    The team consistently delivers welcoming, attentive customer care that ensures diners feel thoroughly looked after and valued.

    The welcome and service is cheerful and very eager to please and accommodate you. There's expensive fine dining where you're not made to feel as looked after as this.

  • Comfortable Family Welcome

    A welcoming environment and accommodating staff make dining out stress-free for guests visiting with young kids.

    It’s such a family-friendly spot, which makes it easy to visit with kids.

  • Reuben toastie

    It was one of the better sandwiches we’ve had and the chips are just sooo good.

  • Flat white

    A beautifully made flat white was the perfect quiet tonic after a hectic few hours, and I have little doubt it would be difficult to see anyone else local do better than this.

    The food is excellent, my favourite is the earl grey cured salmon on corn bread and my partners is the smashed avocado.

    If you are bringing dogs or dining with toddlers and family, head straight to the spacious outdoor back courtyard where there is plenty of room to sit comfortably.
