Why Choose Frank's Cakes?
Frank's Cakes is a standout pastry shop and café where the cake cabinet and custom orders are genuinely impressive, customers compare the range and quality to Lygon Street's best. The staff are warm and attentive, the pies and cannoli are fresh and well-made, and the kitchen delivers quality consistently across both takeaway cakes and sit-down meals.
About Frank's Cakes
Frank's Cakes is an Italian pasticceria and cafe in Ferntree Gully, and it works as both a stop for a sit-down brunch and a place to pick up something sweet. The cake cabinet is the draw. One local compared the range to Lygon Street, which is high praise, and the cannoli, vanilla slice and custard-filled sugar-coated doughnuts come up when people talk about what they take home. The pies get a mention too, and the kitchen's chefs bring around 20 years of experience between them.
Custom cakes are a real strength. One family ordered a large birthday cake a few weeks ahead and found it decorated beautifully and ready exactly when promised, and they've used the shop before with the same result. If you're planning a function, it's worth calling to talk it through. Gluten-free options are offered, and so is catering.
The cafe side is just as busy. Locals rave about the coffee, with the cappuccino and latte both singled out, and breakfast and lunch are made from scratch. The arancini gets a good word, the scrambled eggs are light and fluffy, and portions are generous enough that some tables struggle to finish. One visitor found the menu leans savoury and another wanted more punch from a pie, but the staff won over nearly everyone, and one server happily swapped a dish that wasn't right. There are outdoor tables if the indoor room gets loud.
You can dine in, get takeaway, use the drive-through, or have orders delivered. There's free street parking and a wheelchair-accessible car park and entrance. Evening dessert and frozen yoghurt service runs late in the week, so check the hours before you head in.
