Why it's worth checking out
Girdlers Café sits at Short Street Plaza in Manly, one of Sydney's most iconic and beloved beachside suburbs. A much-loved cafe, it's become a genuine local favourite — combining quality food and good coffee with a relaxed, welcoming setting, the kind of spot that draws a steady stream of regulars near the beach.
The appeal is that combination of quality cafe fare, good coffee and a relaxed atmosphere in a great Manly location, ideal for a leisurely brunch, a morning coffee or a casual catch-up near the beach. A cafe that's nailed both its food and its coffee really stands out, and Girdlers has clearly won over a loyal following.
With a 4.5 rating from nearly 500 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. Menus, opening hours and offerings change with the seasons, and a popular Manly cafe gets busy on weekend mornings and over summer, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a great brunch and a quality coffee, it's often just a matter of dropping in at Girdlers Café in Manly.
