Signature breakfast and lunch plates that define Charlie + Franks

  • Spelt Ricotta Pancakes

    I was very impressed with the Spelt Ricotta Pancakes, with layers of pancakes the texture was fluffy and had a hint of cinnamon.

    Ordered the prawn tacos, and the prawn and chorizo linguine - perfectly cooked - juicy, juicy prawns, and the salsa verde, pickled onions and guacamole on the tacos were amazing too!

Before you head over

Planning advice for smooth group lunches, seating choices, and finding the cafe

  • Pre-Order and Split Bills for Groups

    For large corporate or team gatherings, coordinate your food and drink orders ahead of the lunchtime rush and take advantage of individual bill-splitting at the counter.

  • Opt Outside for Quieter Conversations

    The interior dining room can get quite loud during peak weekday lunch hours; request an outdoor table or an offset seating arrangement if you require easier conversation.

  • Seek Out the Plaza Location

    Tucked away in the IBM Plaza off Pacific Highway, the cafe can be tricky to spot from the main road, so allow extra time to navigate the plaza.
