Belgrave Cartel combines being close to the beach with back lane chic with its industrial textures, motifs and bohemian vibe. The team are focused on providing great coffee with their custom blends for milk coffee yielding chocolate and nutty flavours. Their Coco Joe Granola bowl is eye candy, delivering flavours that are sweet and tangy. Soft textures of fruit are contrasted by the granola and nuts. You may need to look a little harder, but you will ultimately be rewarded for seeking out Belgrave Cartel in Manly.
Love the decor - so many details and trinkets to feast your eyes on. Their main room has welcoming cushions and has limited seating, however, there's also a back room with a number of tables and a small courtyard that would be perfect in the warmer seasons. So much character and the service is lovely.
What a fabulous surprise this place is for dinner!!! Open during the day serving both coffee and food, it opens on Thursday nights for a pasta night - a set price three course dinner with BYO. The meal was truely divine. I had a zucchini and pine nut angel hair pasta that was just mouthwatering and my friend had the BC staple, the lasagne and it was so good also! Entree again was divine, a grilled eggplant bruschetta and the dessert was a yummy cake with custard, cream and what looked like little coco pops sprinkled over it. I felt like I was eating at an old Italian mummas home! I could not recommend highly enough!!!!
