Two Chaps

Tucked down Chapel Street, Two Chaps is worth a detour drive-by for coffee and a tasty meal in Marrickville. Soak up a rustic, earthy vibe inside a lofty interior that emanates the inside of a garden shed; rough brick walls support a collection of bicycles and suspended timber planter boxes while hessian bags filled with coffee beans imported from around the world hint at flavours to come. Stop by the café to meet for breakfasts like hash browns with grilled asparagus, rocket, poached eggs and dressing, or treat yourself to pasta night on Thursday or Friday and delve into weekly specials, all made and rolled in house. Following seasonal pickings, perhaps find a pasta dish like maltagliati with pine mushrooms, rainbow chard and strong Grana Padano cheese, saving room for decadent desserts.
