I LOVE this place! Their menu is so extensive and almost impossible to choose from. They have so many nourishing, healthier options and amazing vegan options.
Really great for gluten free options. I got the pancake revolution, its gluten free and dairy free, was super yummy and light. Coffee is really good and Staffa re always really friendly and pleasant.
Nice and chill place for having fun and weekends.
Not too far from the beach, nice place to take a break or have brunch.
Mermaid latte tastes so good. Recommended it.
Staffs are kind and friendly.
Girdlers is a wholefoods cafe in Manly, a short walk from the beach. There are also stores in Dee Why and Warringah Mall, reflecting the health conscious lifestyle of people in the Northern Beaches. We heard great things about this place so came here to check it out one day for brunch. For our drinks we ordered the Berries and superseeds smoothie to start. This was delicious, packed with ingredients and not too sweet.
Great little cafe in a tucked away part of Manly, just off the corso. Food is extremely health oriented, with vegan, gluten free, refined sugar free and dairy free options. Sustainable produce and wholesome ingredients. This is right up my alley and I found it hard to choose. I ended up going for the rsf oats, made with almond and coconut milk, topped with berries, raw choc bites, poached pear and served with some hinterland honey. I bought a camomile tea too.
Paid our visit for brunch on a Saturday. Fielders was already quite busy, we took a ferry there and felt really fancy.
DRINKS
We ordered 2 lattes, velvet and mermaid. Mermaid is infused with sea minerals and blue spirulina, the taste is difficult to describe, it was like a warm refreshing sea breeze, not really sweet but it's like never we've ever had. A homage to the beach lifestyle.
Velvet contains delicious beetroot chai and naturally sweetened with subtle spices. I have had many 'velvet or red velvet" lattes and this is by far the healthiest alternative, for once I wasn't drinking a cup of food colouring. You can taste the beetroot, so be mindful. Do not expect powdered red velvet lattes, there is nothing artificial about this drink. I am a huge beetroot lover and wouldn't think twice about ordering this again. Not to mention our lattes came with roasted/spiced coconut flakes on the side.
The third drink was their berries and superseed smoothie. If you prefer something slightly sweeter go for this. It was delicious.
MAINS
CAULIFLOWER RICE SHAKSHOUKA
My partner ordered this, he loved every bite of it. The flavour was amazing with a combination of roasted tomato, bell pepper sauce herbs and goats feta. The feta was very defined in its flavour and worked really well with the dish giving that slight sharpness. The poached eggs were perfect and you receive 2 generous slices of sourdough. The cauliflower rice is genius.
VEGAN BOWL
We are not vegans but felt inspired to be a bit healthy. I personally loved the vegan bowl, my partner didn't love it as much as I did, he was too into his shakshouka. This is a really healthy bowl but really yummy at the same time, a lovely combo of beetroot noodles, broccolini avo maple roasted pumpkin and girdlers lemon tahini dressing. You need to all the tahini, it makes the dish.
REVOLUTION PANKCAKE
Who would've thought you can have healthy pancakes. Made gluten free dairy free and refined sugar free. Choc dressing 'goodtella' is made from cacao
The staff were very friendly and offered the same level of excellent service to all patrons. Yes we always observe! We really cannot fault Girdlers, As much as I like junk food, at the end of the day I prefer to eat healthy... girdlers provided wholesome healthy yet delicious food without compromise, they also cater for a range of dietary requirement, so 5/5 it is. Just one thing though..Can you guys please open a cafe in Sydney CBD?
Yes girders is PET FRIENDLY and CHILDREN FRIENDLY
We were kindly invited
Girdler’s was worth the ferry ride across the harbour. Visited on a chilly morning the place was packed, with a great vibe and some of the friendliest staff around. The menu here is awesome with a huge range of options, all of which are gluten, dairy and refined sugar free - so you can indulge and know you are getting great quality food. We tried the Cauliflower Rice Shakshuka and the Pancake Revolution. The Shakshuka was absolutely perfect for the winter morning - poached eggs in a great tomato and bell pepper sauce. The Pancake Revolution was a visual and taste bud delight as well, the almond milk coconut and banana pancakes with the topping of fruit and healthy-style goodtella. I only wish we had ordered another plate. This spot in Manly in worth the trip and sitting off the main plaza area it’s quiet enough to enjoy the coffee and food with good company
Amazed at the variety of vegan/gluten free options on the menu. As someone who wouldn't normally order these options, I found it quite tasty. Staff were super friendly and helpful
Visited last Saturday morning and brunch was great! Single Origin coffee is great quality and the blankets are a welcome touch in Winter. It rained during our whole stay but we were safe and protected whilst still sitting outside. Cant wait to go back!

Girdler’s manly is an environmentally conscious cafe dishing up some awesome vegan options along with some gluten free ones too, they’re also anti-straw policy here!. I loved the coffee blend used, and the smoothies are amazing… I suggest the Mango & Almond smoothie with almond meal, mango, passionfruit, coconut milk, dates & coconut ice-cream. Such a delicious blend, not to sweet either.
Great cafe in Manly!! Pics are of the shakshouka, the Goodness bowl, the 'love me berry' crepes along with a mango and almond smoothie. Highly recommend this place :)
Went here on a Saturday around 11 AM and the place was full! However, service was pretty quick and staffs were very friendly and cheerful.
Ordered the Veggie patch buckwheat crepes, Coco chia jar, Cauliflower rice shakshuka, turmeric latte, hot chocolate and berry & superseed smoothie.
My favorite was the buckwheat crepes! i didnt put much expectation at first, but surprisingly, the dish was delish! Crepes was crispy with plenty of fillings + the size was pretty big as well!
Also loved that they are very considerate of the environment as they take part in the no plastic straws movement! (Yes, their smoothie is served without a straw!)
So impressed with this awesome cafe. Spacious seating with warm blankets for winter days. Beautiful and friendly service. Food was sensational, the Veggie Patch Crepe was unbelievable and their Holy Avo earns the title as it was insanely good. This cafe is worth visiting and highly recommended.
Love this cafe and is by far my favourite place to go in Manly for Sunday brunch! The service and quality of food is amazing and what I love most about it is you know the food you are getting is top quality and healthy :) It's also a great place to go if you have children as there is a little grass area out the front they can safely play - you get to relax and eat without worrying about them being bored. Highly recommended!
Incredible cafe, clean living at its best ! Food was very yummy and not greasy ! Service was fast and friendly. Love the chicken tacos it was very fresh and healthy !
Best cafe I’ve been too! The staff are super helpful and friendly ; always checking up on how my meal is.
The food is clean yet satisfying ; with spectacular presentation!
