Afternoons till late

Coffee in Caroline Springs

A proper barista coffee at the hour most cafés are stacking chairs — and a wall of frozen yoghurt if the afternoon calls for it.

FROBAE opens in the afternoon and runs till late, seven days a week, from the outdoor dining precinct at CS Square Shopping Centre. That makes it the coffee that's still on after school pick-up, after training, after dinner — the catch-up that starts at four and the one that starts at nine.

Everything is made to order: the full espresso board, cold and frappéd coffee for the warm months, and a leaf and herbal tea list. And because the other half of the shop is a self-serve froyo and açai bar, "coffee and something sweet" is one stop rather than two.

Make it a coffee and a cup

The other half of FROBAE is Caroline Springs' first self-serve frozen yoghurt and açai bar — around ten in-house flavours, eight warm sauces and a loaded toppings bar, priced by weight. A long black and a swirl is a perfectly respectable order.
