We visited late morning on Sunday and Miss Frank was buzzing with Camberwell locals of all different ages enjoying good food and great coffee. There is a chilled, family friendly vibe here with warm welcoming staff and a great local feel. The cafe has a large split level interior with a fresh, industrial look – concrete floors, white walls and greenery, minimalist lighting and light pine furniture – They have a small kiddies menu and some shaded seating out the front for fury guests. There’s enough room for prams on the lower level and the toilet is wheelchair accessible with a removable ramp.
The all day menu covers everything you need – granola bowls and smoothies, fritters, smashed avo and eggs all ways. Plus they have some nice (and naughty!) looking lunchy options including Southern Fried Chicken Burger, Ginger and Lemongrass Congee and a Pan Fried Salmon Fillet with zucchini noodles and ponzu dressing.
Top notch coffee is definitely a priority here – serving Inglewood as the brew of choice. For milk alternatives they’re using Almond Breeze milk which is a barista blend, designed to be heated and tastes really good.
What we had… Mango Splice Bowl- granola, vanilla yoghurt, mango smoothie, rasperry, banana chips, coconut almond & chia seeds; Miss Medley with poached eggs your way with parmesan roost, roasted tomato, bacon and shrooms; Smashed Avo with feta, dill, parsley, mind, beet puree, radish, chilli, tamarind pepitas & black sesame + bacon + egg Everything tasted fresh and perfectly cooked and you could tell that the priority is great quality ingredients prepared well. We would have loved to see more vegan and dairy free options on the menu, particularly with the smoothie bowl which used cows milk yoghurt.
The coffee is great and if you’re still hungry they have a yummy selection of sandwiches and sticky treats in the cabinet on...

Read moreCame here on a Sunday morning, and have been coming here regularly since last year, only to be told that we couldn't get a kids size of pancakes. The kids menu consists of a toasted sandwich and chips and nuggets. Two items only. You might as well not have it. Apparently the reason was that there was a kids menu previously but adults were ordering from it.
I am sorry, but that's a pretty poor excuse and as soft as it gets. If it's a kids menu it's for kids, not adults. Pretty simple to enforce. Adults only order from the regular menu. Can't help but think that it's just a grab for cash to get another main serve out of the kitchen.
Not only that, we've been regulars here for a long time and there hasn't been any effort to get to know us. We probably spend $60-70 a weekend here, but we will be spending that elsewhere now. You look after your regular customers, you don't burn them like that and you have flexibility in an area like Camberwell which is populated with families.
Also worth noting that there were about 60% of the tables not being used on a Sunday morning at 8:30 am. Pretty concerning I'd have thought as the weekend trade should be priority, if you include children in the menu without being greedy in demanding full serves for children, you'd find more people would fill those tables.
Not only will we stop coming, we will tell other people that we know who have kids to also stop coming and try another new cafe in Surrey Hills, 5...
