About ALEX ‘N’ ROLLS

Marrickville regulars monitor fan feeds just to see if the roller door is up—and the payoff is immediate. Alex ‘N’ Rolls ditches standard bakery formulas for a modern pork roll built with house pâté, rich mayo, and rotating cuts of roasted, BBQ, or caramelised pork. The kitchen's xôi pulls equal weight, drenched in savory pan juices. Hours remain an unpredictable roll of the dice, daily batches sell out early, and the utilitarian sidewalk setup makes takeaway the smartest play.

  • Modern Pork Rolls: Pork rolls stacked with house-made pate, rich mayo, and rotating batches of caramelised, roasted, or BBQ pork.
  • Sauced Sticky Rice: Bowls of Vietnamese sticky rice soaked in rich pan drippings and topped with barbecue pork.
  • Unpredictable Drops: Limited daytime batches and irregular opening days make checking local fan updates essential.
  • Strictly Takeaway: Sidewalk seating is bare-bones and wait times build quickly, making grab-and-go the preferred move.

Before you head over

Navigate erratic hours, queue waits, and grab-and-go realities—plan your visit to secure Marrickville’s cult rolls.

  • Check community status and arrive early

    Opening days are erratic and batches sell out quickly, often within a rough 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM window. Check customer-run community reports before heading out and arrive close to opening to secure rolls or sticky rice.

  • Prepare for long queue times

    Footpath lines can stretch and wait times can be lengthy during service, so budget plenty of extra time into your schedule when joining the queue.

  • Opt for takeaway over sidewalk dining

    Sidewalk tables in front of the shop can be sticky and exposed to flies in warm weather. Take customer recommendations to heart and grab your order to go for a smoother meal elsewhere.
