"Off the beaten track in Manly’s back streets, Showbox Coffee Brewers is a small, industrial-style café with tables indoors and window seats spilling onto the pavement outdoors. Named after iconic Seattle music venue The Showbox, it takes its cue from the grunge and punk movements, with black-and-white photos of performances and drinks named after bands. And the guys who run it are pretty deep into the coffee scene, offering a house blend (Twin Peaks by Melbourne roastery Wood and Co.), a single origin from Ethiopia, and a batch brew filter coffee from Kenya (care of New Zealand’s Coffee Supreme)." - Sophie Davies
