It is literally right across from the beach but still away from the main tourist drag. I took a seat on the beautiful patio and ordered a cider and a salade niçoise and a fondant au chocolat for dessert. The food was fantastic. The salad was great and had that bright, salty bite you expect from salade niçoise. Two complaints though are that the portion was quite small and the pricing was quite high. My dessert was also quite good. Creamy, chocolatey, and just the right amount of sweetness without going overboard. The food paired with the Manly Beach people watching was a great experience and start to a nice beach day.

I looooove Açaí bowls, and was craving one whilst in Manly with my little sister, who had never had…read moreone. I settled on this place, and was not disappointed. I went with the classic açaí bowl, which was so refreshing. They had run out of one type of berry, and added extra strawberries instead, which I was delighted about as I love strawberries. My sister had a mint coconut bowl, and she loved it as well; and was also surprised by how filling they were! I tried hers as well and the flavors really shined through- very balanced, not overly sweet, and it was real mint, not cheap mint flavoring. Which we had one of these guys here in California

I grew up in Manly but have lived overseas for five years. When I left Ground Zero was the only…read moreplace I could recall that offered an acai bowl (they still do). Upon my return visit now Manly is flush with acai bowls and standalone acai bowl places. Bare Naked and Acai Brothers (newly opened) co-exist within 100m of each other. I had seen Bare Naked's beautiful bowls on Instagram and friends' feeds for a while and had been dying to try. Well - they did not disappoint. I came here last Sunday with one of my good friends. It was pretty busy and they had a only a few seats out the front. We managed to snake one end of a four person table and I went to order. My friend got the Naked Bowl and I got the Hippie Bowl. It took as quite a while to decide because the menu is rife with options. There were 8-10 acai bowls, smoothie bowls and more. Plus coffee and kombucha on tap (yassss). The girl at the counter told us it would be about a 15-20 minute wait because of all the take out orders. When the bowls came I was impressed. They were beautiful, full of toppings and a really decent portion for the price. I proceeded to snap a few pics (with the table's strategically placed potted cactus) for my Instagram later. Hipster chic on fleek (is 'on fleek' stlll a thing? Well, whatever...I'm using it ironically anyway...and plus...it rhymes!!). Then we dug in...heaven. I soon found myself knee deep in a blissful acai bowl food coma and my friend and I enjoyed a long conversation with a pleasant British bloke who joined our table later on (he managed to finish his bowl before I did). My tummy was very happy with me for hours later. Bare Naked definitely lives up to the hype and is good value for money, especially when compared with the other acai bowls around these parts. I shall hopefully be back again before I leave and will then continue to salivate over their Instagram posts from afar. Such is life.

This is an awesome cafe off the main beach in Manly. This place is not as popular as the other…read morecafes, as it is not only the main wharf or beach - however, don't let that stop you, this is probably one of the better cafes here. The coffee here is good, serving Barred One coffee, it is a nice cup. You can order the single origin if you want, which according to the Barista changes every so often. The coffee is probably not as good as Showbox coffee around the corner, but it still can stand on its own. The best part of the cafe is the food. A lot of fresh and healthier options. The most popular dish is the 'Dog' which is chirizo and eggs. However, if you are like me and love mushrooms, then you are going to love this place as they serve a mountain of mushrooms on toast - and they cook the mushrooms in pesto, which makes them awesome. The service here is good - nothing special, yet nothing to complain about. The seating arrangements is the large tables that are shared by all! So if you don't like things like that, then don't come here, but if you don't mind the new hipster style of seating then come along and share your space.

I tried their popular dish, toast skagen. A generous portion of shrimp on toast, topped with roe. It's definitely worth the price. I had a mocha cappuccino and requested the donkey latte art.

I tried their Swedish desert, semla bun, which is actually a popular dessert served in the month of February and a second cup of coffee for the hay of it.

I love how the food is prepared with such love, and each ingredient is selected in integrity with the company mission. The roasted Kumera is incredible. It's a large portion, but wow. You've gotta try it, and you'll know what I mean! At A$20, it's a bit pricey, but it's totally worth it. The Ayurvedic porridge is a wonderful breakfast option, delicious, nutritious, and filling. Drop by and check out this charming little spot while you're in Manly for breakfast or lunch, and you'll be so happy you did. One of the best places in the world!

They were whipping up waffles last time I was there. But don't get your tastebuds in too much of a tizzy, it's just waffles, so if that's what you want, consider yourself a winner. If not, well, tough luck. But let's be honest, you're heading here for the coffee because it's undoubtably Manly's best, whether hot or cold.

Waffles with optional chocolate. Because they do it simple, they do it well. The waffles are freshly made as you order. The chocolate is freshly melted Belgian chocolate. The coffee is either their standard blend, or a single origin that rotates every few days - and they are fastidious about how they make it. The actual café is just a hole in the wall with a few boxes & logs that serve as stools. The popularity of this spot ensures an intimate buzz and more often than not, a friendly conversation with the locals. Well worth a visit.
