There is a selection of your favourite commercial products for sale, including Brookfarm and Cobbs. But the main drawcard here is the abundant variety of hand made g.f delights including sweets, wraps, rolls, sandwiches, salads and take home meal packs such as Butter Chicken, Fritatta, Sweet Potato salads and various curries. Friendly personable and reliable service. The crew can custom make something if you order ahead. They serve DiBella coffee and it packs the right punch. Blink and you'll miss this little spot. If you can focus past all the signage clutter for local community services, you'll find a great range of eat in and take home products within. Free street parking right outside the door, or across the road in the Riverside Plaza car park.

Very friendly, helpful service,…read moreamazing, delicious croissants, French snd loaf bread, pastries, and sandwiches some of which can be made to order and some are not available if they run out of the base sandwich material. We had a chicken toasty and a breakfast croissant. We started with what they call a cherry bomb. It's almost like a super dry sweet scone with either a look Sarto, or some other type of super intense cherry, right in the middle, to me that needed a little more of the cherry filling. The chicken toastie was excellent, creamy chicken, Philly, and cheese between too well grilled slices of sourdough bread with lots of fresh butter slathered on before they toasted it We're probably going to buy a loaf of that bread on the way out of town tomorrow. The breakfast croissant had bacon a fried egg and a tomato type relish with a little sweetness that really added something to the sandwich. It was not on a regular shaped croissant. It was on a round, baked croissant roll to better handle the egg. The coffees are excellent. You do order everything at one register they give you a little sandwich board sign with your number for the order and then they bring you the coffee and the food to your table. They also come and bus your table for you if they are not too busy. Of course they only have natural sweeteners so if you use Equal or any other artificial sweetener you will need to bring your own! Totally hip, and definitely worth a visit.

We were warned that they don't have a lot of seating and that if it was full that the cafe next door was also good. We managed to grab a table outside which was great as we got to enjoy the beautiful weather. The barista who had sent us here had actually jumped in the car and got her family a table... which was funny, but a sign that the food must be good. The coffee's here were great. My Cappuccino ($4) was gone before the food came out.. and since it was the second for the morning I thought I'd not push onto the third. My friend had a Soy Chai Latte ($4.50). I ordered the Eggs Benedict ($18.50) but asked to have Bacon instead of Ham (a frequent and easy request). The Eggs Benny was very good (see photo). The Poached egg was cooked just right (the yolk was only slightly set and the majority was runny). I enjoyed my meal and remembered thinking the portions of bacon were slightly more than what I would have expected. They could either drop the amount of bacon down a bit or add in a third Egg... I would say third egg because that's how I roll. The missus had the Corn Fritters ($23), which were very good. I got a bite and they were crunchy on the outside yet light on the inside. One friend had The Smashed Avocado ($19), Add Tomato ($3), Add Bacon ($4.50) and the other had the Eggs & Bacon ($15.50), Add Relish ($2), Add Mushrooms ($4.50). Fresh OJ ($6.50) was recommended by a few people and whilst I didn't get to try any... it seemed to disappear quite quickly. After complaining that there weren't any good cafe's for breakfast/brunch in Launceston I can now highly recommend coming to Charles Street and stopping in here... will be back, great food!

As we drove to Launceston, leaving behind the Freycinet portion of our honeymoon, I had a sudden…read moreand strong craving for classic Italian food. I yearned for something comforting and familiar. Relying on a recommendation from the kind lady handling the booking at our hotel in Launceston, we relinquished control and wandered in to Frank's hoping that it would satisfy our wish for comforting Italian food with a relaxed environment. Well, it did exactly that! We were quite satisfied with every single aspect of the meal. The friendly family owned vibes, the attentiveness of the wait staff, the recommendations on how to order and accommodations on what we did order, the timeliness that the food was delivered and the quality (and value) of the food and the wine are just a few of the things we took note of. I've been to some pretty incredible Italian restaurants in my day and had some out of this world homemade Italian cuisine and this place held it's own and delivered in the way it's supposed to. Would highly recommend.

The savory pies were in the huge warming oven and Almost empty! There were a few of each left..we were in luck. We ordered the Curry Chicken Pie and the Beef & Pepper Pie and a sweet Mixed Berry Pie. And yes, we shared as we always do...more tastes for small appetites. We agreed the Beef & Pepper was the best. The pepper just made that beef pop. It was great the chicken curry was very good but not that pepper one! The crust was outstanding on each pie. The mixed berry pie was outstanding. Perfectly made with a tad more berry than pastry. And it was not too sweet. It was huge. We had left overs for breakfast the next morning. And it held up very well. Highly recommend. Worth the drive. Will return reasonably priced.
