VeganMoFo 2018 #11: Eating Out: Frankee & Co

Frankee & Co is a cute little cafe that is really not too far from me. And yet I have only been a handful of times. I have blogged about the first time, which was when my friend Molly was visiting from Seattle. But I have since been back twice.

I had an appointment one Saturday morning that was literally around the corner from it, so to not stop in for brunch would have been foolish! I was so keen on getting the pancakes... I approached the counter... and I was told that they had just sold out! Oh yes, person who ordered two serves for their table, I was watching you the entire time you ate them. I hope you liked them. Hmph. Anyway, I consoled myself with an order of the Vegan Stack instead. This was a tower of vegan fritters, spinach, mushroom, avocado, and tomato. Served with some BBQ sauce. It took ages to come out, apparently they'd accidentally made a non-vegan stack. But they gave me an extra fritter in my stack for the wait. I also ordered the Summer Dragon - a smoothie with dragon fruit, coconut water, lime, and mint), a refreshing beverage given that I had also been to yoga.

I went back another Sunday morning, and had a slight panic when I saw that the menu had changed and the pancakes were not on it. But thankfully, I saw that they had just been moved to the specials board. And they were in stock! A pile of pancakes with bananas, maple syrup, and a not-too-coconut-fatty coconut foam. Worth the wait! I also had a drink off the specials board, a peanut butter latte. This was SO GOOD! Soy milk, peanut butter, and vanilla all frothed up.

Our sunroom has a nice big window, so lots of space for cats to look out into the yard. Sahara and Gizmo were clearly interested in opposite things.

    1. I actually prefer dragonfruit/pitaya to acai in smoothies and bowls because I just love the colour.

  3. I have never actually had vegan pancakes in a cafe only at home. However a new cafe opened in our town last week that seems pretty vegan friendly AND they have pancakes on their breakfast menu. I need to get down there!
