This cute little patisserie opened up only a few months ago, and fortunately (or not?) for me it's…read moredangerously close to where I live. I've gone many many times and keep going back. Their basic croissants are some of the best of the city, and definitely one of the very rare "real French croissants" you can get this far from the super trendy suburbs of Sydney. Their other pastries keep changing and it feels like the variety increases every time I go have a look. Raspberry danishes, almond-chocolate croissants, rhubarb and strawberry foldeovers and much more. They also do sandwiches, quiches and I've seen meat pies too, so even those without a sweet tooth will find something good to eat. And coffee - it's good to finally have another decent brand of coffee in the neighbourhood, and I've always been happy with my lattes.

(They also have an 8-hour cold drip should you so desire.) The shop is tiny, but if you're lucky enough to snag a stump you'll be privy to some of the most amusing customer conversations. Hungry? They were whipping up waffles last time I was there. But don't get your tastebuds in too much of a tizzy, it's just waffles, so if that's what you want, consider yourself a winner. If not, well, tough luck. But let's be honest, you're heading here for the coffee because it's undoubtably Manly's best, whether hot or cold. And hey, I'm sure they'll even put the ice cream in there if you ask nicely. Just don't ask for decaf. Or larges.

These guys are serious about coffee. Whether it's a doppio espresso or cold drip, you can always…read morecount on a great coffee. The menu is simple: Coffee in one size. No large. No decaf. Waffles with optional chocolate. Because they do it simple, they do it well. The waffles are freshly made as you order. The chocolate is freshly melted Belgian chocolate. The coffee is either their standard blend, or a single origin that rotates every few days - and they are fastidious about how they make it. The actual café is just a hole in the wall with a few boxes & logs that serve as stools. The popularity of this spot ensures an intimate buzz and more often than not, a friendly conversation with the locals. Well worth a visit.

The service was fast and the coffee was delicious - they didn't bat an eye at strange orders such as quarter strength skim lattes and made a great soy fw. There were a few treats to try including the in vogue cruffin which was a sweet treat to help us through our afternoon.

"Shop" is a stretch - it's really more of a hole in the wall takeaway only kind of space, lovingly kitted out in tiles, timber, blackboards and big Edison bulbs. The sort of aesthetic that gives you hope. It doesn't disappoint. They make a damn fine coffee here, with good customer service to boot. None of that awful aloofness that typifies so many hipster-esque joints. They sell beautiful muffins and even Bircher muesli, but they do sell out. Hey, it's not like there's space for much stock, and coffee is certainly the priority. Will certainly go out of my way to get a coffee here in future, whenever I'm around Hornsby.
