The flat white here is perfect, with exquisite latte art. I chose the smoked salmon bagel, which is large and delicious, filled with plenty of avocado and scrambled eggs, very satisfying! The owner and staff are friendly and polite, creating a comfortable service atmosphere. It's a great little café in Manly.

I really enjoyed my time at Zerdas cafe. It is nicely situated in the bustling heart of Manly. The staff were friendly and helpful. The menu had something for everyone, the food was fresh and the coffee was great. Tables were a bit small for our group of 6, but I definitely look forward to my next visit.

It’s a cute little place off the corso in Manly and in the hub of the weekend markets. There’s inside and outside seating and they do takeaway as well. Their coffee is fantastic and the team there are very nice and welcoming. They also do fun latte art!

Earlier today, I visited Zerdas Cafe and was delighted by the incredibly tasty food they served. The flavors were exceptional, leaving me eager to return every day. In particular, I tried their omelette which surpassed any other omelette I have ever had, their coffee was also delightful and complemented the overall experience perfectly.

Refreshing ice coffee! Friendly service even on Christmas Day. Got charged $5.75 for iced long black - good price! Only two bar tables inside and some seating outside.
