Nice food and excellent location ( I live just around the corner). Staff were a bit rude to me, part of my order had been forgotten. After 10 mins I asked if it was still coming and got some pretty unfriendly attitude.

Best staff. Best food. Classiest operation. Everything about Frankie's is a class above - and it still feels relaxed, casual and local! Melbourne is incredibly lucky to have a cafe like this - something with so much heart and soul, and right near the beach too. Everything is spot-on. Thanks, Frankie's!

Frankie's is a very dog friendly coffee place near St Kilda beach. They serve great coffee and their pie is delicious. I love the open space window at front.

So good I came back a second time. Great coffee and support efficient service, including with keep cups. Second time we bought some relish and can't recommend that too. It's a 5km+ walk for us but worth it. Lovely group of staff too. See you again soon!

Frankies is the best and, as such, is very popular, particularly with locals. It's nothing to have to wait for a table and, as it's so good, that's fine! The coffee is the best you can find and the menu has… something for everyone. You have the choice of a cozy inside space or, a nice outdoor table. The staff work hard to provide a welcoming, friendly experience. We can't fault Frankies, their menu and consistent delivery of friendly service. We enjoy our (almost) weekly experience. Dogs are welcome!
