“ Had a fantastic experience at Sway thanks to Barry! He was incredibly welcoming, gave us great recommendations, and truly went above and beyond. Definitely try the brisket — it was melt-in-your-mouth good — and don’t leave without having the cookie. Trust me, you’ll be thinking about it long after you’ve left. Thanks again, Barry ”
“ No wonder the Google reviews are five stars—the food is stunning! The mushroom toastie and pulled beef roll are especially impressive, and all the pastries are house-baked, which explains their incredible texture. ”
“ The best cafe in Manly. As soon as you stepped in, you can feel the good vibes. The milk coffee is so smooth. Skillet pancake and Sway bowl are my favourite. Probably, I can say one of the best pancakes. Great job team! Will be back really soon ”
“ Best coffee in Manly, think chocolate, dark roast vibes! Delicious! The staff here are absolutely lovely, so friendly and great playlist in the background ”
“ This place was a word of the mouth recommendation and it did not disappoint. The coffee was smooth and atmosphere laid back and causal. However it was the food that was the true standout. I love an avocado on toast but this was next level. Not only looked beautiful but was delicious. The herbs and dukkah may have had something to do with it, but the bread was incredible. I asked where I could buy it only to be told that it was made on-site so not available anywhere else. Am definitely a repeat customer as I work my way through the menu as everything seems to be made from scratch and all meals truely unique. The pumpkin salad and heirloom tomato dish was amazing and will be back to try the mushroom toastie. A place to put on your checklist when visiting manly. And don’t leave without trying the homemade muffins… ”
“ 5 stars for a reason!! One of the best brunches I had in Sydney - friendly service, smooth coffee, delicious food, and all at a reasonable price! We had the Mushroom Toastie, Bacon and Egg Bun (they kindly swapped out the bacon for avocado upon request) - both were incredible. The toastie comes in a rather large portion, but so so good!! Sourdough tastes fresh and perfectly crunchy. The avocado and egg bun was just perfect. Honestly can’t recommend this place enough! Good food and even better vibes. ”
“ Sway is my fave new place in Manly. The coffee and food are beyond! So amazing and I’m yet to find somewhere that compares. The owners are lovely and the service from Dani and Murat is the friendliest. Has been one of the best things to happen to Manly in a long time. I love every item on the menu but my fave is the brisket roll. ”
“ Best little spot for breakfast, the most delicious coffee!! Normally I have a sugar but didn't need too! So smooth yet strong enough. Easily the best I've had...ever. We also had the brisket burger and homemade pear cherry muffin, so YUMMY!! Owners super lovely too. Highly recommend. ”
