) "Delicious treats and food, always friendly staff, local vibe, efficient service."
"Disappointingly average coffee for a “specialty coffee” / Turkish place."
"And a wonderful place to sit and watch less fortunate people walk by."
5 We had 2 coffees and a Orange and Almond Cake. Cake was superb. I had a Cappuccino and my wife had a Decaf Almond Flat white. Excellent coffees and the service from Thanam and Hassan was great. Well done, especially for New Year's Day.
5 It’s a cute little place off the corso in Manly and in the hub of the weekend markets. There’s inside and outside seating and they do takeaway as well. Their coffee is fantastic and the team there are very nice and welcoming. They also do fun latte art!
5 Very good coffee and the strawberry matcha was amazing and the waiter Sam as well! Good vibes
5 Earlier today, I visited Zerdas Cafe and was delighted by the incredibly tasty food they served. The flavors were exceptional, leaving me eager to return every day. In particular, I tried their omelette which surpassed any other omelette I have ever had, their coffee was also delightful and complemented the overall experience perfectly.
5 The best coffee ever. Their coffee is like music on your tongue. If you come to Manly. It is a must to try. Thank you guys.
5 The flat white here is perfect, with exquisite latte art. I chose the smoked salmon bagel, which is large and delicious, filled with plenty of avocado and scrambled eggs, very satisfying! The owner and staff are friendly and polite, creating a comfortable service atmosphere. It's a great little café in Manly.
5 Hi, the two Hassans! I dropped by two Sundays ago. When I first came in, Hassan greeted me with such a cheerful voice, and even said hi in my own language, which I totally didn’t expect! I ordered a cappuccino, and it was really great. I’d heard that coffee in Australia is supposed to be amazing, but until then I hadn’t found my type of coffee. Hassan’s coffee, though, was exactly what I’d been looking for, and I really enjoyed it. Which wasn’t great, because it was my last day there. But I hope others get the chance to enjoy it too! The one thing I regret is not ordering a larger size. Actually, there’s one more thing, not talking with you guys a little longer. We chatted about it for a bit, and it made my day. I told you I’d visit again soon, and you was like, when? maybe in a year? Yep, exactly. I’ll definitely go to Australia again next year, and if I ever go to Sydney, I’ll come back for sure. Next time, like I said, I’ll be pretending to be a different person, haha, hope you guys recognize me! p.s. I wrote your names down in my notes, but I’m not sure about the spelling haha. Rockyb & Tanim? Anyway, it was Yoon! 한국인분들! 여기 커피 진짜 맛있어요 본인이 한국인이 맞는지,,, 하산이 테스트 해줄 겁니다
