Frankie Jo's Bakery Café - Courtenay

Absolutely delicious sandwich ...cinnamon buns to die for

Great place to grab a coffee and a sandwich. Loved the vegan sandwich!

Great little cafe. Good breakfast sandwiches and baked goods. Turkey turnover is to die for.

Use to love their cinnamon buns. When we come over from Vancouver we have to get them. Because they’re not open on the weekend, I asked my mother in law to pick up eight for us. I was so disappointed……definitely not as decadent as before. Seems a bit too bready now and the filling isn’t as gooey or tasty. Please go back to your original recipe…..Update Thanks to the owner for replying. My husband and I have had the cinnamon bun after it was a day old…..this was a few years ago…..and it still tasted great. We both agree it’s not like it use to be.

Good food, really good cinnamon buns (delish dough) I feel like they used to have more frosting and now quite skimpy but still a yummy yummy cinnamon bun. The sandwhiches I have had have always been amazing. I find the owner can be quite brusk and unfriendly (offered to help deliver once and set up chairs once and both times he quite snapped at me) but the lemonaide is AWESOME.(edit since owners reply) I can 't say I am at all surprised his reply was unfriendly. This was a 4 star review (dropped now to 2) with a ton of compliments, no "hey thanks for the comment, so glad you love our food (and lemonaide) just sooo defensive. Hey, if you don 't want me to take water out to a customer, there is a nice way to say it, (gosh, thanks so much for offering, but we have to do it ourselves) And, we arrived before 9, waited till about 5 past to approach the door, you snarked at me you weren 't ready, I offered to help you take the chairs out you were setting up outside and was snarked at again. Clearly, I wont be back. Your manner is extremely off-putting to someone who has only ever tried to be kind)
