Happy Alley Rockdale

Cafe$

Cookies – thick, soft and fresh-out-the-oven – are the main attraction.

Happy Alley is a playful remix of artisanal bakery, fast-food restaurant and Levantine flavours, and there’s nothing else like it in Sydney. Brekkie kicks off with house-made ma’anek sausage on cheesy egg muffins, revving up to sandwiches and smash burgers at lunch. Nothing beats the cookies, though: thick, soft and fresh-out-the-oven, in flavours including salted choc-chip and almond croissant.

Good to know: Expect slim pickings within an hour of closing.
