Barrel One Coffee Roasters - Manly, Sydney

Barrel One Coffee Roasters, located in Manly, originated from a garage in Brookvale and has become renowned for its New York-style brunch, featuring some of Sydney’s best producers. The cafe offers an array of delicious dishes, including Reubens, pastrami sandwiches, grilled cheese, and bagels, inspired by the owners’ trip to New York. The addition of a second venue in Manly on East Esplanade provides a brighter and more compact space, adorned with crisp white tiles and glossy wooden floorboards, creating a vibrant atmosphere.
Both venues boast roller doors and hanging baseball bats as part of their decor, complemented by striking black-and-white photographs adorning the walls. The menu includes favorites from the Brookvale venue, such as pastrami sandwiches and Reubens, along with an expanded range of grilled cheese sandwiches created in collaboration with renowned cheesemonger Anthony Femia of Melbourne’s Maker & Monger.

Barrel One’s commitment to sourcing produce from local vendors is evident in their partnerships with establishments like Pastrami Kings, Brooklyn Boy Bagels, and Butter Boy Bake. The cafe offers a range of blended and single-origin coffee roasted at their Brookvale warehouse, supporting farmer cooperatives and estates. Infographics on the coffee bags provide information about each variety’s origin and farming conditions.

With a strong affiliation with Manly, Barrel One aims to provide an exceptional dining experience that showcases some of Sydney’s best producers. Located on the esplanade, the cafe outlet offers a New York-style brunch featuring Brooklyn Boy Bagels stuffed with LP’s smoked meats, along with bread and pastries from Butter Boy Bake and Staple, ensuring a delightful culinary experience for visitors seeking a caffeine hit and quality brunch options.
