New chapter begins thanks to Frankston Library’s Writer’s Bloc Cafe

Published on 12 April 2022

Here’s to our next chapter at the Writer’s Bloc Cafe!

Mayor Nathan Conroy dropped into the new Writer’s Bloc Cafe at Frankston Library to enjoy a coffee and sample some tasty treats on the menu.

“The team including chef Shane Newell and cafe supervisor Narelle Boorer are passionate about serving affordable, great coffee and quality, cafe-style food. Conveniently located in the foyer of Frankston Library, it’s the perfect stop when visiting the library or as a destination for lunch.

“Customers are welcome to enjoy drinks and snacks within the library or sit and enjoy a break in the forecourt if weather permits. Car parking is available in the Frankston Arts Centre with great accessibility and only a short walk through to the cafe.

“The team are enthusiastic, friendly and always smiling – they’d love to welcome you to come and experience Writer's Bloc Cafe,” the Mayor said.

Mayor Conroy added that the Writer’s Bloc Cafe will also offer catering for local businesses.

Chef Shane Newell said: “At Writer’s Bloc Cafe, we like our sandwiches fresh and flavourful and we are asking our community to get creative.

“Over the coming weeks, we will feature sandwiches designed by Council staff and the community. We invited Mayor Conroy to share his favourite filling and he nominated roast beef, slaw, horseradish and seeded mustard Turkish roll, which is proving very popular.

“We encourage you to give us inspiration. It can be adventurous, but the main criteria is it needs to be delicious, something we can proudly place on our menu for all to enjoy!”
