Very busy with the Ocean swimming group in the morning as people order an stand around with friends chatting after their swam. Can be noisy so have to listen out for your name to be called when you order is ready. Have a wide variety of health an not so healthy snacks to enjoy. Prices are what you expect from a beach side cafe per coffee selections. Their Fresh Fruit Salad is a very nice addition to the available items for sale normally- cut up apples, watermelon, rock melon, oranges and kiwifruit.

Had the most delicious toasted fruit bread and cappuccino for 8.50 which was outstanding value. Also had the turkey salad sandwich which was also scrumptious. The staff are super friendly and welcoming too. Would definitely recommend.

Great coffee, extremly friendly staff, this is why I rate the atmosphere with 5 although it is rather a kiosk. However they have a really good variety food. And it is perfect before or after swimming in the morning or even in the afternoon when most cafés are closed already. To me it is like a little hidden gem in Manly.

It's a great little no-nonsense hole in the wall cafe right at the east end of Manly Beach. Staff are friendly, service is excellent and the menu is aimed at people looking for something reasonably priced and satisfying. I grabbed a great tasting Flat White, adding raisin toast because it was a bargain
