Reviews of Frankie Jo's Bakery Café (Bakery)

Karl Peterson

Never fails to impress and satisfy!

Patrick Guinan

Great local coffee / fresh pastry spot

Erika Evans

Cinnamon buns are to die for. Their homemade soups and sandwiches are amazing too! The owners are also very friendly.

John Frisch

Great coffee, family owned operated business with in house baked pastries, light lunches. Nice relaxed vibe indoor and limited outdoor seating. One of our top 3 coffee spots in Comox Valley

Joey Thiessen

Service was excellent, prices fair, and the food will keep me going back. It was quite full at lunch on a weekday, which speaks for itself.

Paul McCormack

Frankie Jo's Americano is one of the best in the valley and the breakfast sandwich is awesome. Great place to sit, sip and surf...

Twyla MacDonald

The owner's are lovely people. Food is delicious!

Bill Crowder

A bit out of the way from the usual fair on 5th st, and definitely worth the short walk. Why? Two words. Sausage roll. Best I have ever had. Oh, and they know that coffee isn't a drink to be toyed with. They brew it with respect.

Sorin Mountan

I popped in for coffee and it was great, and visually I liked the sharp, clean styling of this shop. I will be back!

Ashley Cunningham

Really good and healthy food! Their Nanaimo bar is huge but amazing!

Old_Man Big_mouth

Def not a real bakery. More of a coffee shop with a couple baked items, very misleading name.

Katherine van der Gracht

Love this family-run operation. Great baking and excellent spot to work while sipping on one of their tasty americanos.

Kaleigh S

Awesome place for friends, studying, or just some time alone. My sister and friend hung out here for an exorbitant amount of time and the owners were awesome. They even just laughed when my sister spilled water all over the floor. They were so accommodating when she also had to custom make her meal due to gluten intolerance. Prices on the higher side but I don’t mind paying that because the food is great. Definitely coming back.

Sandy Dreger

Best cinnamon buns ever!

Thomas Thomas

Frankie Jo's is a great addition to the Downtown core. While it's not right on 5th street, the fantastic food, amazing vibe, and friendly staff make the extra few steps well worthwhile. Go for the snack or stay for a meal, you won't be disappointed.

Emily Charette

Muffins to die for.

Melanie McCollum

Great lunch options and the baking is second to none!

Kirsten

Small and cosy. The food and coffee were good and the owner served us and was very friendly. He even laughed it off when my friend managed to spill a *lot* of water from the self-serve water "bar." Pleasant place! I gathered its owners are newly arrived from Vancouver and I wish them every success in their venture.

Keiran Dahlin

Amazing sandwiches!

Judith Attfield

Superb baked goodies and good coffee. Great owners.

Alicja Hempinski

Okay, where to start! Sandwiches - 5+ stars, fresh and tasty and absolutely delicious. Baked Goods - 5+ stars, I'm not a fan of sweets myself but I can eat their cinnamon buns any day! I have purchased sweets for others from here they they all have said the products are fresh, not grossly sweet, but perfectly yummy. The staff - 5+ stars. Love when a small business is just so inviting and friendly. Always make me feel welcome. I wish them the very best.

Pat Lidstone

Lovely little cafe with fresh, homemade food and friendly staff.

Terry Papiernik

Coffee is great, baking is delicious down home delights, and the soups and sandwiches I've tried have been delicious. I love to take out of town visitirs there for coffee or lunch.

Jana Holbrook

I am quite fond of this little bakery/cafe. The staff are very friendly and I love the coffee. The decor is nice and I when I stop in in the morning they have yummy fresh muffins.

Shannon Fisher

Went to Frankie Jo's today to try one of their cinnamon buns. Cinnamon buns sell fast and were gone. I had the vegetable tart instead and it was absolutely ???? more than I expected! So much vegetables and flavour! It also was quite filling. I'm already planning to grab some of these for a upcoming camping trip! Flavour party!

Marlene Martin

delicious doyghy cinnamon buns

Robert Scott Rix

Easily the best cinnamon bun I have ever had!

Paulette Greig

Outstanding

Jarrah Zdf

Cinnamon buns are good, just need a little bun.

Derek Gardner

And if you like sausage rolls you'll be in Heaven - but get there early or you're going to be sad! Good staff, nice location, great selections of treats and coffee. Our fave.

Kari L

Super friendly, great sandwiches and baked goods look fresh and amazing!

Agi

Great little place to come for baked items or lunch. Had a panini and it was so very good. Fresh bread, fresh vegetables what more can you ask for. Great service too!

tom severson

Best coffee and bakery/lunch spot in the valley.

Susan Lapworth

Excellent sandwich, lovely flavours just really nice food.

honest 12

Everything made from scratch. Delicious . 2022 update; limited seating and staff support people to 'reserve' seats before they order by placing a bag on table in front of chair. Then if you are ahead in the line and try to sit there to enjoy dine-in, staff loudly accuse you of stealing a seat, from someone that arrived after you. Stupid and rude of them.

Ariel Bruhn

Awesome & Tasty food and great atmosphere!! Gotta check it out! Lots of options

Lisa Paine

I just had the breakfast sandwich and it was amazing. Packed full of goodness, the sundried tomatoes added that extra flavor.

Frankie

The kindest people, they opened the doors even though I was early and they totally asked me what snack I was looking for and they got it for me even though it wasn't time to put food out yet. And THE BEST FOOD, GOOD START BARS. Enough said!

Phil Masini

Good coffee and yummy cinnamon buns. What else do you need?

Jeremy Orrego

The most delicious cinnamon buns ever. They are so big there is no way you could finish it in one go, except it's so delicious you can.

Carissa Sklepowich

Not a good experience at all! We placed our order with what was available on the counter and instead of setting the dessert aside they resold it to the people that ordered after us. Also, the corn chowder was more of a veggie chowder with raw potatoes and zucchini ????. Sent back the full bowl and not even a suggestion for a replacement or refund. Will definitely not be going back???????????? **I was asked for a substitute dessert not the soup. The tarts were $3something each (×2) and I only received $8 back. Not sure how that equals a refund for the soup as well?

Cheryl Steidel

Nice atmosphere. Clean and interesting decore. Great coffee drinks..nuce syaff

Marlo Coulson

This little cafe space is a must visit. The food specials are consistently spot on with interesting, fresh, delicious flavors, friendly service too!

Randy Pearson

Great bakery would highly recommend

Francine Martineau

Great family run business, amazing treats and great coffee. They're doing an amazing job dealing with protecting staff and customers from covid and they're taking it seriously! But they still keep it light hearted and fun when you're there!! Soo worth the stop

Gabriella T

A great place to support local and get your morning fill! We arrived right at 9:00am as we were headed out of town and unfortunately many of the treats were not yet available. Reviewing a 5/5 for what we DID enjoy - an oat milk latte with their house made vanilla syrup (though not much vanilla to taste) The breakfast bar - very filling, easily shareable and a peanut butter lover's dream. Support local!

Sylvia Hicks

Awesome cinnamon bun - best I've discovered in the valley

Eric Chesterley

Great place. Great food for a reasonable price.

tallulah patterson

Great service, cute place, nice selection of food though lacking in vegan choices (isn't everywhere in the Valley though?!). Sadly I wont be going back though as the de-caff still has way too much caffeine in it for me :(

judy larush

I met with 2 friends for coffee today. The place was bright and pleasant with minimal decor. My latte was very good, but the cinnamon bun was superb. I highly recommend those! There was a variety of tempting baked goods, some wheat-free. Prices were typical, service was friendly and the cafe is obviously popular. I will definitely go back.

Elizabeth Mcculloch

Great food
