Buoy Kiosk

Strolling the North Harbour Walk near Manly? You need to drop anchor at Buoy Kiosk. Breathtaking water views. Serious espresso. A vibe so effortlessly breezy you'll completely lose track of the arvo. Those who frequent this coastal stretch routinely point to the dialed-in coffee and killer pastries as mandatory waterfront fuel. But the savory lineup is legitimately brilliant, too—think sturdy chicken sandwiches and a standout soup spiked with a slick of chilli oil that absolutely transforms the bowl. Seating is a bit tight, so just grab your flat white, snag a spot by the water, and let the stellar crew do their thing. Pure Sydney magic.
