  Manly beachside location, small and unassuming. When you walk in you feel like you are dropping in to see friends, 'very popular friends'. The decor reflects the name with many books on shelves and menus made from recycled books. The menu is cheap and cheerful with homely staples such as... Read more

  Had what I thought was a pair of extremely lucky coffees last week- a strong,rich, smooth latte with nice art and then a punchy ristretto. Went back today and it was spot on again- even with a different barista I had 2 more fantastic coffees.
  
  Even though it lacks many qualities of a... Read more

  Coffee was strong and smooth and just a bit different from others I have had recently....in a good way. The breakfast menu is limited but has something for everyone.

  Really nice place right by the beach. I've being in plenty of time for both breaky coffee and arvo drinks. Coffee is great and food was nice. The mushrooms on toast was good but all I could taste was truffle oil. Non the less a really nice place to chill.

  Great style, good staff, intentionally over-extracted coffee (admittedly with good texture but that's hardly the most important thing). The milk-pouring was solid, but if the shot is dodgy from the get-go then the score goes down. (It was endearing to note the barista tried to give a customer a... Read more

  Atmosphere was excellent. Great location. Friendly staff. But coffee was weak and flavorless. Had a takeaway flat white and wasn't satisfied.

  Good spot across from the ever-popular Manly. Feels much more like coming home than going out. Coffee is good, strong and hot but not burnt nor bitter. Love the Hendricks Gin table water!

  A real surprise. I think it's mainly a bar, but has quickly become my coffee place of choice. Great music and vibe with thousands of books to read. The food is cheap and restaurant quality and the staff all have a great sense of humor and look after you. Most importantly though the coffee is... Read more
