Keep Tone Cafe
Gluten-free, sugar-free, low-carb café food on Darley Road.
The local take
Keep Tone is Manly's dedicated health-food café. The whole menu is gluten-free and free of refined sugar, and most of it is low-carb, so anyone eating keto, paleo, coeliac or diabetic-friendly can order anything on the board without quizzing the staff. It has been running since 2010, which in Manly café years makes it a veteran.
The food is more interesting than the rules suggest. Breakfast runs from a keto breakfast plate and açaí bowls to a salmon bowl; lunch brings zucchini pasta, superfood salads and the café's KETOasties, toasties on its own grain-free bread with fillings like turkey and brie or tandoori chicken. Dairy-free and nut-free options are marked, and the cabinet carries sugar-free sweets to go with the coffee.
It's a small shop at 22a Darley Road, a few minutes' walk up from the Corso, open Tuesday to Sunday from 7:30am to 2:30pm and closed on Mondays. A shelf of superfood products and a freezer of take-home meals mean locals use it as much as a pantry as a café.
