One of the best breakfast, brunch and lunch places in Sydney. The cauliflower and feta salad is amazing. Burgers look amazing too. Expect to queue- very popular- but worth it.

Of course, there's brilliant coffee here. But the real star of the show are the fudge cookies. You will never forget your first Kurtosh fudge cookie. Choose from triple chocolate or peanut butter white chocolate- or get both as well always do.

A gooey and fudgey puddle of chocolate brownie-esque cake served with berries and vanilla cream. Come to Manly just for this.
