Hear from our valued guests
Great place . I tried green smash and it was so yum. Presentation was top notch. We were a group of 10 and we got our drinks good quite fast. Smooth experience .
Great place to stop by. It's a corner shop with big cups of coffee and great food selection. We order the Benny with the Twist and a Mushie Toastie. A bit pricey but both absolutely delicious. Eggs poached well and the cream sauce was great. Would come again.
A fave local cafe. Food and coffee is always top notch. Went last week to try from the reasonably new seasonal menu, and loved the mushroom meal. Hubby had his usual bacon and eggs, which are always consistently yummy. Coffee is always delivered at a high standard.
Broc O Benny is one if the best breakfasts I’ve ever had. Great staff, coffee, food and atoosphere. Only complaint is the outdoor seating is uncomfortably close. I understand wanting to fit more people in, but it was very unpleasant being forced to touch strangers behind me during the entire meal
I came for breakfast here with my family yesterday and oh my goodness it was FANTASTIC. The service was amazing, the coffees were both delicious and pretty and the food was magnificent. The perfect portion sizes, fasted bloody amazing and again, looked GORGEOUS. Thank you so much (I'm so sorry I didn't get any of the staffs names but we went around 10.30am) I will definitely be back!!
Love love love coming here. Coffee is amazing. Food is amazing. Service is amazing. The staff are so friendly and welcoming every time I come. Often it gets very busy but if you’re happy to wait for a bit tables often become free.
Wonderfully friendly and helpful barista Alex. This coffee (Uganda anaerobic) certainly slaps. Also loved the egg muffin and french toast.
These are the types of businesses that Frankston City needs to keep supporting and attracting. Fresh, vibrant and bustling traders delivering quality hospitality and service. This is a great move for Commonfolk, with lots more foot traffic and customers as a result.
What a vibe !! Amazing menu with fabulous tasting food from the chef. Amazing wines and great service from Joel who had great knowledge of the wines we had . Will we be back - yes we will .
What a pearler addition to Franga. The coffee they serve will satisfy the most fastidias of coffee snobs (me😅). Commonfolk roast profiles are a true testement to the roast masters passion. In my two week trip I must have stopped in nearly every day, and it never missed a beat. The employees are next level helpful and clearly enjoy providing awesome customer service.So good to see a place like Commonfolk Coffee doing its thing in Frankston.
