Italian

This retro grunge cafe is one of Manly's few cool kids and it's no secret. Belgrave has a coffee reputation - strong, black and bitter, a cup of this stuff would wake the dead. It's a dot of a place, with distressed walls, exposed light bulbs, wooden booths, pressed metal ceiling. All-day breakfasts are the big attraction: try a darling little crisp-bottomed egg roll wrapped in bacon or munch your way through the lurid green eggs (thanks to house-made pesto) and ham. 'The benno' jaffle is a hit with the mid-week corporates bee-lining for the big smoke. Daily blackboard specials, too.
