About Brickfields Chippendale

Chippendale regulars treat Brickfields as their morning counter run—and the sourdough pulled from the open bakery backs it up. Early visits center on viennoiserie, pairing crisp almond croissants and berry tarts with steady pulls of Mecca espresso. Come midday, the counter shifts to hefty lunches: warm beef brisket melts, roast chicken, and ham baguettes that routinely sell out early. Seating stays tight between high counter tables and sidewalk stools, with orders running card-only.

  • Scratch-Baked Pastries: Crisp almond croissants, soft strawberry danishes, and fruit tarts produced daily in the open on-site bakery.
  • Substantial Sandwiches: Hearty lunch orders built on fresh sourdough and baguettes, spanning beef brisket melts to popular roast chicken.
  • Neighborhood Counter Vibe: A compact, cashless setup pairing Mecca coffee with high counter perches and sidewalk tables.
