Frank Talk Art Bistro and Books
The cafe opened in 2008 to provide a place in the Westside neighborhood of Red Bank for those interested in art, history, literature and current events to enjoy a cup of coffee, read the local newspaper or access the Internet through our free wireless access network.
The bookstore sells books written by both popular and undiscovered authors, newspapers and magazines, and accessories from local artists who create jewelry, paintings and other artistic products.
The cafe provides a choice of coffee, tea and other beverages, along with pastries.
As a community staple on Red Bank’s busiest corridor, the cafe also hosts community events, such as book signings, play readings and community courses in a variety of disciplines.
