Why Choose Momentum Cafe?

About Momentum Cafe

Momentum Cafe is a cafe in Frankston, Victoria, found inside the Karingal Hub Shopping Centre, so it suits a break between errands as much as a proper sit-down meal. It's a cafe first rather than a classic bakery, but there's baking behind the counter, and that's why it earns a place here. You can dine in, grab something to take away, or have it delivered, and catering is on offer too.

The baked goods get a fair bit of love. We've heard the sausage roll is made in-house and well worth ordering, and the brisket panini comes with plenty of filling. It's known for pies. One local called the carrot cake easily among the best they've had in Melbourne, moist, with cream cheese icing in just the right amount.

Breakfast and brunch are the big draw. People talk about the breakfast burger and breakfast burrito, ricotta pancakes, shakshuka with plenty of bread, and a Kentucky chicken burger served with waffle fries. Hash browns and corn fritters come up too, and the coffee has won over a good few visitors, including one who stopped in on a whim and called it a gem. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, and the dessert cabinet is worth a try.

Families seem to do well here. High chairs are on hand, and one parent said their fussy kids cleaned their plates. Staff are widely described as friendly, with a couple of them named warmly by one local, and prices are seen as good value for the portions.

One visitor has found the kitchen slow at busy lunch times or the seating less comfortable than they'd like. Allow some patience at peak hours.

It's open seven days a week, with daytime hours posted, so check before you head in.
