Stopped for a quick coffee on our way back to Manly from North Head (nice sunrise walk by the way). Staff were super friendly, coffee was great and loved the quirky chaos of the place … sat in too many polished concrete places the size of warehouses with two tiny stools - this was cosy and comfortable.

We managed to find parking on nearby streets. We had big breakfast, good serving size..was enough to be shared between 2 of us. Food is amazing. Customer Service is great. This was my second time at the Cafe..will definately be back again when in the area. Love the cozy atmosphere with antique decorations.

This is a wonderful cafe on the Eastern Hill in Manly. Loved by locals who know, a very community minded cafe owned and run by Vince. A very eclectic cafe with indoor and outdoor seating, and great coffee. Vince has recently introduced a great breakfast menu.
