We ❤️ Frankston

Our Frankston store has just released a new menu, so we thought what a better time to catch up with Chef Rhys, and the legendary Nhi to chat about what’s going on in town, what the inspiration was for the menu and as the new-ish kids at the helm of Frankston, what’s new in the zoo.

FROZEN coffee beans?! Why?

If you’re a fan of the world barista championships* like I am, then you may have noticed a trend over the last few years with many competitors starting to freeze their coffee. In turn they’re achieving really high scores from the judges.
