Showbox Coffee — Restaurant in Sydney

This is a relatively recent addition to the Manly cafe scene and it is awesome. Tucked away in one of the bylanes in Manly,it does not offer the views but definitely knows its food. The food is interesting and experimental without going overboard with it. The focus is on fresh produce with quiet a few current favorites of the superfood brigade featuring on it as well. The menu is inspired from different cuisines and offers interesting options such a quinoa tacos to tuna sashimi and avocado and cacao milkshake. I had the quinoa tacos which were generously topped with delicately poached chicken, crispy prosciutto and fresh pineapple, all mixed together in a some delicious sauce. We also tried their basic breakfast which had a perfect soft boiled egg on top of sourdough toast, loaded with delicious avocado, cheese, and some other wonderful stuff! The focus is on flavours here and they know how to balance them. The coffee is great and is supplied by roasters Rueben Hill, and Mecca.There is a good selection of takeaway muffins, cakes and the much popular cronut as well! Showbox has a very urban warehouse, almost industrial look to it, and not the beachy white and blue decor that is there in most places in Manly. It's more reflective of the Surry Hills style of cafes with shared communal tables and open airy space. Try it and you won't be...

We’d had this place on our must visit list for a while, but given we live in the East, it’s more of a destination visit for us. We had a spare weekend and headed over to Manly to try out a few places. Showbox was on our coffee hit list.

The cafe could be described as vintage eclectic with its retro tables and signs, mixed with exposed brick and industrial pipes as the decor. It was more urban than beachy and reminded me of some of the Surry Hills cafes. Pretty hip and a laid back vibe.

Their coffee sees a mix of rotating brands from Mecca, Artificer, Reuben Hills and More. They also do a pretty cool espresso tonic, as well as smoothies, chai and teas. The coffee here is good.

On this day we were just there for coffee, but we’re keen to revisit as the menu is super interesting and intriguing with “peaches and cream - with ricotta, honeycomb, freeze dried strawberries on sourdough” which sounds incredible. Homemade bagels, sambos, toasties and salads, it’s no run of the mill menu, but intriguing. This will certainly...

For coffee enthusiasts seeking a high-quality café experience, Showbox coffee in Manly is definitely worth a visit. Their single-origin Guatemalan beans are particularly noteworthy last week, with a smooth and rich flavor that lingers on the palate. Additionally, their house blend is a delight, boasting a perfect French roast that is rich and aromatic.

The café itself has a hip and casual atmosphere, offering ample seating, including some comfortable windowsill options. The food menu is a fusion of modern Australian cuisine with a Middle Eastern twist, featuring a range of delicious and interesting dishes.

What's more, the service is both fast and friendly, with a welcoming smile that adds to the overall experience.
