About Silo Espresso

Tucked along the pedestrian stretch of Sydney Road, this sunny Manly espresso bar pulls rich, full-bodied shots with pace to burn. Regulars rely on the counter crew for swift morning handoffs—orders and names remembered without missing a beat—while cappuccinos come crowned with shaved chocolate flakes instead of standard cocoa dust. If your caffeine hit falls late in the arvo when neighborhood spots pack down, they keep the steam wands firing alongside warm, gluten-free Brazilian cheese bread.

  • Shaved Chocolate Finish: Cappuccinos come finished with shaved chocolate flakes rather than typical cocoa powder.
  • Late-Afternoon Espresso: Keeps the grinders turning for late-afternoon orders well after standard cafe closing hours.
  • Pão de Queijo: Fresh, gluten-free Brazilian cheese bread served warm from the counter.
