Talanees Coffee

Talanee’s Coffee is a café in Manly, Brisbane, with a coffee-led offering and a selection of sweet treats to take with your drink. The website lists coffee, iced lattes, frappes, milkshakes, smoothies and iced chocolate, with hot and iced options available through its café range. Online ordering, gift cards and event bookings are also available.

For something sweet, the menu names carrot cake, Nutella brownie, almond croissants, cranberry and pistachio slice, and raspberry white chocolate muffin. The website also highlights the Bahama smoothie as a tropical, refreshing choice, while iced chocolate is described as rich and creamy. Prices are listed online for the featured drinks and sweets, although availability can vary; the almond croissant is marked as out of stock in the supplied menu.

The café was founded in 2016 by Talei Lepisto, who describes starting the business as a widowed single mum with the aim of providing for her family. Talanee’s Coffee has since become part of the Bayside community, with its Coffee Crew focused on carefully made drinks and a welcoming atmosphere. The venue’s story places emphasis on warmth, quality and connection, making it a natural stop for a solo coffee, a casual catch-up or a sweet break during the day.

Talanees Coffee is at 55 Lower Esplanade, Manly West, and is open from 6.30am on weekdays, closing at 11am Monday to Friday and 11.30am on weekends. Its mobile coffee van also caters for events, with packages for gatherings of up to 50, 75 or 100 guests. These include barista-made coffee, hot and iced drinks, chai, milk chocolate, flavoured syrups and alternative milks, with package durations ranging from one to two hours. The café has a 4.9 Google rating from 39 reviews.
