Frankies takeaway and cafe

Frankies takeaway and cafe is a family-run breakfast and lunch spot at 16 Roseneath St, North Geelong, best known locally for its chicken schnitzel roll and friendly service.

Dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area on a lead. It's a casual takeaway-style setup so don't expect table service indoors, but the outside tables work fine for a quick bite with your dog beside you. Water bowls aren't guaranteed, so bring your own to be safe.

Known for. The chicken schnitzel roll gets talked up locally, along with bacon and egg rolls, fresh cakes and reliably friendly owners.

Getting there and parking. Address is 16 Roseneath St, North Geelong VIC 3215. Free street parking is available along Roseneath St, with additional on-site parking. Usually open mornings through early afternoon, roughly 6:30am to 2pm, so confirm current hours before heading over.

Nearby with the dogs. The North Shore foreshore area is a short walk or drive away for a proper stretch of the legs after your roll.

When to go. A solid quick breakfast stop rather than a lingering brunch. Good for a fast bite before or after a walk.
