To Be Frank EBV

Bakery$

This venue is one of Good Food’s 100 Essential Melbourne Cafes and Bakeries of 2026.

Following the closure of its Elsternwick outpost, Collingwood favourite To Be Frank has brought its baked goods to East Brunswick Village. At the new architecturally designed bakery, watch the magic of pastry lamination, rolling and piping through the window of a light-filled open pastry kitchen. Crowd-pleasers include baguettes, fruit loaves, focaccia and deli-style sangers.

Must order: The coconut dulce de leche bomb that nods to co-owner Franco Villalva’s Argentinian roots.
