Carly Mays Kitchen

We had Carly May cater for our Christmas and boy did she deliver!! It was the first year we hadn’t had a home cooked feast, so I was a little apprehensive, but it genuinely felt like we were dining at a 5 star restaurant … but for a fraction of the cost. We had the option to supply our own dishes, which we did and she presented them so beautifully. All we had to do was take the cling wrap off and lunch was served! Carly’s pricing was so reasonable for the volume and quality too. There is no world we aren’t using Carly for next year (and any other event we have throughout the year)! Thank you for making Christmas so special, Carly!

We are incredibly grateful for Carly's exceptional support with our crew catering. Throughout the two week shoot, the breakfast and lunch options provided were not only delicious but also healthy and hearty. Carly ensured that all dietary requirements were catered for, offering an incredible variety of dishes that varied each day. Additionally, Carly went above and beyond to assist us in our mission to reduce waste by serving the meals on beautiful, eco-friendly platters. Her dedication to both quality and sustainability truly enhanced our experience, and we cannot thank her enough for her outstanding service.

Carly Mays Kitchen does all our office catering. They are so easy to work with and most importantly - delicious food that we receive so much positive feeback on. Our team really enjoy their sandwiches and wraps.

We used Carly’s catering service for a family member’s 70th birthday party and could not recommend her more highly. We're super picky about our food, and for the first time, every guest raved about the amazing spread, quite literally.

We ordered the ham, couscous salad, satay chicken, san choy bow, frittata, potatoes, meatballs, Greek salad, to name a few. Every dish was incredible, but if I had to pick a favourite, it would probably be the ham (still thinking about it, tbh), followed closely by the san choy bow (which isn’t easy to get right, perfect amount of lemongrass!).

As a bonus, the food was dropped on gorgeous plates (as opposed to ugly aluminium platters), emphasising the home cooked aspect and was just so much nicer to serve from.

Also, Carly is absolutely gorgeous and made the entire process so easy and 100% stress free. 10/10 recommend.

Unbelievable food, huge variety, punctual, thoughtful and catered to all our dietary requirements for our production crew. Just couldn’t have been more delicious or helpful. A new favourite!!

Carly and Tony catered for a large event and they did an incredible job with nothing but positive feedback from everyone who attended - especially regarding the food (in both range/options and taste)! we booked for 230 people to be catered too, which is a huge job but Carly and team delivered as the service and food were perfect. The range of food was great and offered something for everyone, it was also great value per head. Thanks so much for putting everything together and being so accomodating! Definitely recommend

Wicked cafe, with a lovely vibe. Carly May catered our film production and everything was delicious. Keen as to go back for dinner!

An absolute hidden gem! The food is top quality (sandwiches & curries especially) and the coffee is fantastic! We love going up the hill to Carly May’s - it’s definitely worth the trip

Carly May makes the best coffee in the Northern Beaches. Very friendly and super efficient. Her curries and pies are also stunning.

The tastiest food going around.
We had Carly provide a beautiful large platter for a hens I was organising, and the compliments on how it all looked and tasted was never ending!

Wonderful, welcoming and fantastic food. We are super lucky to have Carly Mays as our local. The food is always fresh and delicious and the staff are top notch and the friendliest/hard working bunch out there.

What a great find tucked in next to the bowls club. We walked in based off online reviews only and are glad we did. Excellent coffee, super views and great quality burgers for lunch. Plenty of room for kids to run around outside also. Well done Tony and team we will be back!

I recently organized a lunch for 16 clients at Carly May's Kitchen and couldn't fault it. Every meal on the set menu was delicious, beautiful attention to detail and great service. And what a beautiful setting - relaxed with ocean views in the distance. Highly recommend!

Great place to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon. We had a family birthday gathering and the relaxed 'old school' bowlo was perfect. Family friendly, some barefoot bowling and good views. Great hospitality and the food was wonderful - thanx Carly and Tony. Will be back, definitely recommend👍

Had a fantastic lunch today. Amazing food and just the best venue for group bookings. Such a great family atmosphere and well catered for children which is hard to find. There should be more places like this for the community particular in areas like Balgowlah Heights where there are so many families with children. Thanks again, we will be back!

We've enjoyed breakfasts & lunches, both take away & dine in the bowlo at Carly's. The food is always fabulous, the service friendly & we regularly stop after dog walking for a coffee on the way home & chill outside with the awesome view. Great value too!

Carly May’s coffee, breakfast & lunch menu is a comfort menu to please all, but my favorite are all her ‘heat & eat meals’. She has an amazing selection of traditional home made curries and Mediterranean meals. You will never feel cheated eating with Carly May always served with a smile.

Beautiful coffee, brekkie, lunch, and dinner! Take away is always fast, affordable and delicious, though it is always a real treat to dine in with a couple of cold ones! Exceptional, friendly service! Daddy loves some Carly Mays Kitchen!

Carly May’s Kitchen is one of the best local cafes you’ll ever visit. You must try a pie or the caramel slice... and of course, a coffee. 10/10 would recommend, this humble place is unparalleled!

A great place to come and relax at the end of the school week. Food is fantastic, view is awesome and it's family friendly. The kids have a huge area to run around outside, while adults can relax inside. Great to be able to support a local venture.
