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.

Before you head over

Plan around midday sell-outs, card-only ordering, and side-street parking for a smooth bakery run. Book your visit today.

  • Arrive Early for Popular Sandwiches

    House lunch favorites sell out rapidly; arrive well before the midday rush if you have your heart set on coveted items like the ham baguette.

  • Prepare for Card-Only Payment

    Brickfields enforces a strict card-only payment policy, so keep your physical cash at home and have a card or tap-to-pay ready.

  • Target Side-Street Parking and Quick Turnover

    Counter stools and sidewalk seating are sparse, so consider takeaway or quick dining, and look for free parking on side streets bordering Cleveland Street.
