Four olives deli, Manly
Four olives deli, manly Illy coffee. Just down the road from coles. Water is provided in a bottle with a removable cork. The deli here is excellent, the staff helpful and efficient.

Bella Espresso, Bellevue Hill
Bella espresso, bellvue hill Allpress espresso. 9 Bellevue Road, Bellevue Hill. Busy and popular, it’s standing room only outside, but there’s still some room indoors where a couple of wooden boxes against a wall have been artfully transformed into comfortable seating by virtue of some plush cushioning.
