I looooove Açaí bowls, and was craving one whilst in Manly with my little sister, who had never had…read moreone. I settled on this place, and was not disappointed. I went with the classic açaí bowl, which was so refreshing. They had run out of one type of berry, and added extra strawberries instead, which I was delighted about as I love strawberries. My sister had a mint coconut bowl, and she loved it as well; and was also surprised by how filling they were! I tried hers as well and the flavors really shined through- very balanced, not overly sweet, and it was real mint, not cheap mint flavoring. Which we had one of these guys here in California

I grew up in Manly but have lived overseas for five years. When I left Ground Zero was the only…read moreplace I could recall that offered an acai bowl (they still do). Upon my return visit now Manly is flush with acai bowls and standalone acai bowl places. Bare Naked and Acai Brothers (newly opened) co-exist within 100m of each other. I had seen Bare Naked's beautiful bowls on Instagram and friends' feeds for a while and had been dying to try. Well - they did not disappoint. I came here last Sunday with one of my good friends. It was pretty busy and they had a only a few seats out the front. We managed to snake one end of a four person table and I went to order. My friend got the Naked Bowl and I got the Hippie Bowl. It took as quite a while to decide because the menu is rife with options. There were 8-10 acai bowls, smoothie bowls and more. Plus coffee and kombucha on tap (yassss). The girl at the counter told us it would be about a 15-20 minute wait because of all the take out orders. When the bowls came I was impressed. They were beautiful, full of toppings and a really decent portion for the price. I proceeded to snap a few pics (with the table's strategically placed potted cactus) for my Instagram later. Hipster chic on fleek (is 'on fleek' stlll a thing? Well, whatever...I'm using it ironically anyway...and plus...it rhymes!!). Then we dug in...heaven. I soon found myself knee deep in a blissful acai bowl food coma and my friend and I enjoyed a long conversation with a pleasant British bloke who joined our table later on (he managed to finish his bowl before I did). My tummy was very happy with me for hours later. Bare Naked definitely lives up to the hype and is good value for money, especially when compared with the other acai bowls around these parts. I shall hopefully be back again before I leave and will then continue to salivate over their Instagram posts from afar. Such is life.

Taken at face value, these guys fill a gap in the market for people eating RAW, sugar free or who…read moreare vegan, vegetarian or want to eat organic. Each menu item is labelled with dietary requirements making it super easy to make your choices without guessing. The servings are substantial and delicious, the vegetables are crisp, fresh and cooked with love. Everything about this place is earthy and organic which means it comes with the usual 'hipster tax'. There's a small market style store at the back if you get swept away and feel inspired to start making your own hipster food - make sure you have a spare child to sell or you are prepared to remortgage your house if you want to purchase anything. On the downside, the staff meet the minimum requirement. Getting menus, water and ordering is self-serve but the staff will dump/throw your order in front of you at your table. Each time we've eaten here and our order is thrown in front of us, parts of it will fall on to the table - this is now a running joke. Today when we ate here, I thought I was going to be bitten by the cook when our order came through to the kitchen dead on kitchen closing time. If these guys could get their act together on the service front, they'd no doubt be our favourite lunch spot and earn 5 star reviews.

Pure Wholefoods in Manly claims to meticulously select their predominantly vegetarian menu which…read morecannot be doubted for a moment. Walter and his wife Dini are an affectionate favourite among the locals and on occasions can be perceived as moody however I witness them both address each patron by first name and feel a little envious but for only a moment as Walter brings my perfectly made fair trade skim mocha my breakfast special of Eggs Florentine with Soy Pesto cream sauce and steamed English spinach. The kitchen is open from 7:30am- 3:30pm and the shop is open until 5:30pm. You can call ahead to have food prepared to pick up. Portions can vary in size however the food itself is unparalleled in quality and because of this - prices are premium also. Today talk in this vegetarian cafe is thick of the pending rugby league grand final and what the weather for the local Manly Jazz carnival will do. The founder of the jazz carnival was my music teacher in primary school Mr John Speight and along with the locals I will hope that its good weather for one of the only music festivals of its kind in Australia.

I had a cappuccino takeaway and, in hindsight, should have ordered a double shot as, the single shot was a bit too weak, which suggests one of two things a) too much milk and less foam or b) coffee not strong enough. I think it was too milky to qualify as a cappuccino in my opinion making it a bit weak. The place itself is quite nice and has a good vibe to it. It's small and there is some outdoor seating. The breads and pastries looked good. Places like this never existed in Manly years ago when I lived there and glad that a few of these have come up in the last few years.

The temperature of the coffee wasn't quite right and the taste wasn't right either. I can't pin point it, but never again. Communicated this to the staff.

They ended up offering me another coffee on the house. The smash avo wasn't your average Avo on toast. It was tasty and filling. It's a cute little place but I find it too pricey and although I can't quite put my finger on it, the overall experience wasn't satisfying.

My niece had the chicken bowl, which had grilled chicken breast, danish feta, avocado, roasted almonds, edamame, zucchini noodle, tomato, chilli mayonnaise, leaves, and ginger reduction. She liked it so much that she has already been back with her friends. All in all, a delicious meal.
