Manning St Local cafe in Kiama delivers consistently great coffee and well-prepared food. The food is fresh and satisfying, and the team provides friendly, efficient service. It's a reliable local spot with a welcoming atmosphere - easy to return and to enjoy every time. Highly recommend.
MSL is a haven for coffee enthusiasts, offering a delightful selection of Ruben Hills coffee. The array of coffee options is impressive, and my experience with the batch was thoroughly enjoyable. I'm eager to return for a second cup at this awesome cafe, where specialty coffee takes center stage. 🌟☕
Recommended by my brother for a visit when we went down the South Coast, Manning St Local was the perfect spot for a top notch coffee. The specialty coffee store is all about the coffee, but if you are keen for some food too, they’ve got some home made baked goods and treats. We also really like the fit out of the store, clean and minimalist interior, white and timber hues and material and bench seats along the wall.
Great little spot in Kiama. Lovely staff, atmosphere and incredible coffee. Highly recommend.
An awesome little spot serving incredibly coffee. Manning Street Local looks small and unassuming, and during the week you'd be forgiven for missing it. But at the weekend it comes alive and there's always a queue for coffee, and for good reason. The coffee is exceptionally good, easily amongst the best in the area. Perfectly made and served at the perfect temperature, it's worth the wait. Service was friendly and the staff seemed to know the locals well which gave it a great vibe.
I moved to Kiama here from living in the country and went for a walk to look for coffee. I found this place and have been going as much as I can. From day one, I felt welcomed. The coffee is on point, 10/10, the service is hospitable. The staff actually like working there which it’s important to see. They’re friendly, caring and approachable. It took going to another cafe once to realise how good these people are. Thanks for being a proper local cafe.
Very chill place with proper coffee and homemade baked goods under the glass counter. Lovely retail preserved goods to bring home.
Manning Street Local is such a little gem in Kiama. It’s tucked away from all the chaos, which makes it the perfect spot to just slow down and enjoy a coffee. The staff are always so lovely and welcoming, and the coffee is consistently great. There’s also a really nice outdoor seating area that gives it a relaxed, community feel and you end up actually enjoying being there, not just grabbing and going. They’ve also got delicious baked goods and food options if you’re after something to eat. Every time I’m down in Kiama, I make a point of stopping in. Definitely recommend!!!
One of, if not, my favourite coffee spot in Kiama. Tucked away on Manning Street, Manning Street Local consistently delivers the finest coffee, and a changing variety of decadent cakes/sweets. Always satisfied after a visit here, the baristas are all a lovely vibe and their occasional savoury sandwiches are delightful. I highly recommend .
Really good coffee. Reuben Hills. Medium roast. Perfect for black or milk. Service was friendly and the interior open and inviting. Simple menu options -sandwiches and sweets. I'd recommend if you are visiting Kiama!
