Showbox Coffee Brewers

Hands down THE best cafe for breakfast/lunch in Manly - consistently delicious food from a wonderful group of people. Plenty of gluten free options (much appreciated!) + extremely family/pet friendly spot. Highly recommend the scrambled eggs on GF toast with a side of smoke salmon *chefs kiss* Can’t wait to go back!

Mixed experience here in the past, but particularly disappointing last weekend. The cafe was very busy and only seemed to have two quite young children working as runners across the entire outside space, who seemed incredibly overrun and lacked support. We had a soy latte that had split. It happens at times, but never have we had a barista argue back (via the young girl running the coffees) that soy lattes ‘just do that’, as if we should be happy to pay 3-4$ for a split coffee. If you can’t make it don’t serve it. Edit: the owner should be celebrated for their recognition of how entitlement works. When goods are paid for the payee is indeed entitled to receive them. Preferably without having to insist twice that it should be drinkable, and without service that is reminiscent of the days when children worked the mines.

Felt I had to respond to the recent review from Michael complaining about how young a couple of the waiting staff are. As a regular Market Lane customer I’ve always found these girls to be so friendly, efficient and professional. Good for them to have taken the initiative to get themselves a holiday job. I think it’s great to see young locals earning money and gaining experience that will help them in future life. One of my very first jobs was waitressing and I learnt heaps about customer service, taking responsibility and working in a team from this.

Best coffee & muffins in Manly! Popular with locals and tourists alike. A wonderful little gem of a cafe with excellent food, coffee and service. Dog-friendly with outdoor seating. Close to Whistler car park and Woolworth Metro next door. Plenty of options for vegetarians and vegans. It tastes as good as it looks. Great little place for breakfast and brunch.

Disappointed by the attitude of the guys and manager working behind the bar. They forgot a part of my order, then when I asked for it later, they chased me down (twice) to pay for it when I had already paid. I had to access my internet banking on my phone to show them I had in fact paid. Food is great, but didn’t appreciate the third degree on a sat morning breakfast.

One of the beset Cafe's I have been too! Staff are extremely friendly and helpful, food is amazing. The Chicken Wrap is one of the best i have ever eaten. The entire menu looks amazing and not to mention the naughty juices. Will defiantly be back and a place to recommend to everyone i know. Thank you Market Lane!
