I've been going to Bacino for years, mainly for my coffee. I have tried other places for coffee over the years but always end up back at Bacino, they definitely have the best coffee in Manly (and the cannoli's for that matter).
I love my boys at Bacino. They are cheeky, their coffee is fabulous and I don't mind waiting as they make me laugh! Coffee is the best in town and their meatball sandwiches are a huge hit with my boy on a Saturday before football. I have to beg for a bite. Their scrambled eggs are heavenly. You have to try their doughnuts, sweet but not too sweet with a lush hint of lemon. Thank you Bacino!
I love going to Manly and everytime I go which is often, I always stop and have something at Barcino, I love isitting there watching the world go by and enjoying the fabulous coffee, the boys are great, always smiling and friendly. Definitely a must when in Manly. Coffee lover.
Terrible service, cafe staff seem unperturbed when I told them they'd forgotten my order. I would have at least expect an apology.
As for the coffee I would recommend ordering strong as their standard variation tastes like milky water. On the upside their toasted sandwiches are very good. Plenty of better places in Manly close by.
I love the coffee...I love the boys...I love the vibe....I love all of it. It's definitely the best coffee in Manly and the best cheek this side of Rome....
I go to Bacino every sat morning for coffee. Yes the service is abrupt and the waitresses need to learn how to smile but the coffee boys know their stuff. The staff and the barista's have a very dry sense of humour so I guess that might be one of the reasons for the bad reviews below.
Great place for a simple Italian breakfast and I like to go there and sit at the counter while I watch the Manly madness walk by. Love the Italian music and the Sophia Loren films screening on the TV, hey these guys are proud Italians. I don't actually mind their attitude, it makes me laugh - all that Italian bravado.
This is my favourite coffee spot in Manly, the boys behind the counter are always very sweet and up for a laugh and give excellent service. They make up for the bad service given by the brazilian waitresses, they have attitude plus! Food is yum, can't wait for it to open up again in summer for dinner!!! Hopefully they will get some more italian girls working there again cos they were very friendly.
The coffee is the only good thing about this place....even that can be bought elsewhere these days in Manly. Staff are the rudest I've ever come across. Food is very mediocre.
Food and coffee are really good; the service is one of the worst I have experienced so far. So if you can handle the rudeness of the staff (the owner in particular) then you are in for some great food and coffee. Would I go again....probably not since there equal great food and coffee in Manly with far better service.
Nice place to eat, interesting food and taste combinations. The price was quite reasonable for the quality and quantity. Service can be improved...Probably we'll be back.
