Belgrave Cartel

Manly


This well-established cafe serves perhaps Manly's best espresso in a soothing vintage atmosphere with a couple of laneway-style outdoor tables. Breakfasts and Sunday brunches are guaranteed to please, as is the selection of Italian share plates. By night, there's an appealing small-bar scene with cocktails and wine.
