Tucked away near the vibrant beachside stretch of Manly, this cafe offers a calm yet lively spot to start your day or take a well-deserved break. It's the kind of place where the scent of freshly ground coffee blends effortlessly with the gentle hum of casual conversation and the occasional tapping of laptop keys. Whether you're popping in for a quick takeaway or settling in with your own work, the laid-back vibe suits solo diners and small groups alike.
Visitors often come for the carefully crafted coffee, brewed using equipment that hints at a serious approach to quality — there’s a notable choice of filters, batch brews, and espresso on offer. For those who prefer tea, the matcha stands out with its genuine, unsweetened richness, offering a refreshing alternative. Alongside drinks, the menu leans into breakfast and brunch fare that feels both approachable and thoughtfully composed. Items like crispy chilli eggs, avocado toast, and their cauliflower toastie provide satisfying options that aren’t overdone, while a granola bowl and housemade pastries offer lighter choices.
The setting is casual and trendy but retains a cosy atmosphere, making it a comfortable place to linger whether you’re catching up with friends or just watching the world go by. Outdoor seating adds to the relaxed, beachside feel, and the free parking makes it an easy stop if you’re driving through the neighborhood. The clientele is a mix of locals who appreciate a solid brew and tourists drawn by its convenient spot and quality offerings. With thoughtful amenities like wheelchair access and mobile payment options, it’s welcoming without fuss.

"Ordered the crispy chilli eggs and chocolate chip cookie."
"Their gluten free bread is amazing, and tastes freshly baked!"
5 DELICIOUS!!! . Always visit here when I come back home to Australia to visit!!! I take my coffee and go sit on the steps at Manly Beach. Makes for a perfect morning!
5 The filter coffee was great. Definitely one of the better brews I’ve had in a while. Would recommend to anyone who appreciates quality coffee. Not many seats though. Service was quick.
5 Calibrate coffee manly, equip with La marzocco KB90, anfim sp2, mahlkonig e65, ek43 and coffee from Gabriel. Brew method available espresso, batch brew. Interesting point is they write the waiting list on the glass window of the shop . And i think the only shop that use Gabriel in this area.
5 Lovely little cafe in a great location for catching up. Ordered the Matt Blanc and the avo toast. Loved the avo toast. The avo was super flavourful and all the cheese was a very welcome touch. The Matt Blanc was also nice. Quite refreshing yet creamy.
5 Went here for breakfast with a friend and really enjoyed the experience. The place has a great atmosphere, the food is delicious, and the service is excellent. But what I really have to highlight is the matcha: it’s been so hard to find one that’s rich, full-bodied, and not sweetened — and theirs was exactly that. Absolutely perfect! Honestly, the best matcha I’ve had in the area.
5 so smooth and soft matcha latte. good spot to stop by and drink Matcha after running.
