Butterboy - Manly

Butterboy - Manly is a bakery focused on freshly made cookies, with each one hand rolled, baked fresh and served hot. The business says its cookies are made with high-quality ingredients and delivered daily, giving the venue a clear focus on warm, handmade sweet treats rather than a broad bakery range. Click and collect and Uber Eats are available, making it suited to a quick Manly pick-up or an easy dessert order at home.

The range includes familiar and more indulgent flavours such as Nutella, choc chip, milk choc chip, salted caramel, snickerdoodle, triple choc and vegan choc chip. A muesli GF option is also listed among the available flavours, while the business notes that its menu changes with special flavours appearing throughout the year. Vegan options are regularly available, although the exact selection can vary.

Butterboy began with founder James Sideris selling muffins and cookies to local cafés during his university days. As chunky New York-style cookies became more popular, he shifted the business towards the cookie-focused bakery it is today. The brand also supplies more than 500 cafés and grocers, as well as offering wholesale orders, but the Manly store is the more direct way to try its freshly baked range. With a 4.3 Google rating from 656 reviews, it is a practical choice for solo sweet stops, sharing with friends or picking up a treat for a family gathering in Sydney.
