    A few months back I was trying to get to Manly Beach and stumbled across this place. Nice little fit out, good service. My cappuccino though - amazing. I got takeaway and sat on the beach. I still remember how great it tasted months later. They're definitely doing something right!

    Coffee made with love. For an organic free trade blend this coffee was excellent.

    Small and intimate. Nice friendly staff, easy to have a chat to. Clean shop and tidy space.

    Synesso looks sexy on the bench looking out to the street.
    Solid espresso!!! Flat white(which I rarely drink and was an 8oz. take away) was good. The milk drowned out the espresso a... Read more

    Fanatic for this place. Wish I could go more often. Baristas are awesome and the fresh homemade waffles with melted chocolate are to die for.

    Great coffee and very yummy waffles, what else do you need for breakfast. It really is very good coffee in a cute little spot.

    I had to look hard to find this place last time I was in Manly. It wasn't easy as I don't visit Manly often. However it was worth tracking it down. Now if I'm over that way again I won't have to worry about finding a good coffee.

    Great little place. Probably seats 10 at the most. Worth dropping by if youre near by. The toby's is very bold and earthy. The milk was a touch too hot but I thoroughly enjoyed my flatwhite. Keep it up!

    Every time I've been to Manly and had a coffee from this place I've never been disappointed. Skilled baristas, lovely beans, magnificent coffee.

    Great coffee and by far the best I have found in Manly after many visits over several years. Consistently good but can vary with different barista's.

    We got directed to this, the new branch of Barefoot, by the barista in the original branch - they'd run out cold drip. The new place was a little hard to find - it is unsigned and we walked past it unknowing.

    It seems a lot posher and more formal than the original - staff in formal... Read more

    Another excellent flat white early today. Walked out thinking yet again that it's great to be alive and drinking consistently great coffee locally. (Ok, so it's well known high altitude and caffeine can heighten one's senses!) It was however a bloody good coffee - perfectly balanced and deliciously... Read more

    You really do have to hunt for a good coffee in sydney, not as easy to find as melbourne. Barefoot has a great little space and produce a decent cup. Good stuff guys, coffees well extracted and full of flavour, worth a second visit and I\'ll come back next time I\'m up from Melbourne.

    Strong dark double shot piccolo latte made from a Synesso by a really knowledgeable friendly barista...... It doesn't get much better !

    Too hot! Would make a more detailed review of flavours but my tongue is burnt and the single wall cup means i can only hold the cup by the lid! Once it cools it tastes average: not bad but not great, don't go out of your way for it. Beautiful coffee machine but probably not used to it's full extent.

    Huge improvement over my last visit. Coffee was great and the Brazilian gent behind the machine has more than happy to talk coffee with us. Staff were welcoming unlike last time. New Synesso helps too.

    A stand out! The barista both knows and respects what he is doing. Enjoyed a beautifully extracted single origin short black, followed by a fruity clean cold drip. Well worth the visit!

    Tried this place on our holiday and the coffee was great! Smooth and full of flavour. (Thanks Beanhunter!)
    The atmosphere is good, but there's not much room so it is a great place for take away, however if you want to sit in I think it's worth the wait! Also, the waffles (with chocolate)... Read more

    Coffee was alright, found staff a little distant, didn't feel overly welcome.... place was very busy though so I think they were just under the pump. Will probably give it another go

    I think I drove past 3 times before finding the place. Worth finding though. Strong flat white was tasty
    And spot and the double ris was tasty. Maybe a little short on body but not by much at all.
    I had the chocolate waffles and they were awesome.
    Not sure how busy it usually is... Read more

    Camper, I agree they aren't tight arses. Sometimes just have a lazy attitude which is disrespectful. Never said they coffee wasn't great.
