We
love
visiting
new
cafes
for
coffee,
especially
those
places
where
the
coffee
is
excellent
but
the
staff
are
also
friendly
and
not
at
all
arrogant.
That
is
certainly
the
case
at
Double
Tap.
This
neighbourhood
cafe
In
Marrickville
in
the
backstreets
amongst
factories
and
plenty
of
mechanics.
It
is
quite
hard
to
find
a
car
spot
but
take
the
chances
for
it
is
worth
a
visit!
We
had
been
recommended
to
visit
here
by
a
few
people
including
@where_do_i_eat_pete
and
my
brother
who
lives
in
the
area.
A
local
barista
also
identified
this
as
one
of
his
favourites.
We
don’t
live
in
area
so
it’s
been
difficult
for
us
to
visit
since
they
only
open
Mon-Friday.
I
took
the
opportunity
on
my
holidays
to
visit.
I
enjoyed
it
so
much
that
I
returned
twice
more.
By
the
third
time,
they’d
already
remembered
my
order.
That’s
impressive.
I
can
understand
why.
Owner
Daniel
Karaconji
was
roaster
at
Coffee
Alchemy
for
9
years
so
certainly
knows
his
way
around
a
coffee
shop.
He’s
the
front
of
house
and
is
perfect
for
the
role
since
he
makes
you
feel
welcome
by
his
inviting
smile
and
kind
demeanour
around
the
cafe.
The
barista
is
also
friendly,
and
makes
a
good
cup
of
coffee.
Using
their
own
roasted
beans
for
the
milk
based
and
single
O
for
their
espresso.
On
my
first
visit,
I
enjoyed
the
coffee
so
much
and
that’s
what
made
me
return.
On
the
return
visited
I
opted
for
food
too.
The
sandwich
menu
is
super
reasonable,
at
only
$11
for
eggplant,
tuna,
free
range
ham,
mortadella,
poached
chicken
or
our
choice,
the
Pastrami
Reuben.
Freshly
toasted
bread
filled
with
pastrami,
sauerkraut,
pickles,
cheese
and
a
special
sauce.
A
super
tasty
lunch
option.
For
the
lovers
of
salad
like
me,
they
also
sell
salad
bowls
with
just
veggies,
chicken
or
tuna.
A
salad
base
with
a
large
piece
of
baked
pumpkin,
lentils,
shaved
carrot
and
beetroot,
sauerkraut.
Nicely
seasoned
tuna
with
oil
and
capers
rests
atop
the
salad.
The
flavours
work
well
together
and
it
is
filling
too.
For
$13,
that’s
great
value.
In
the
counter
there
are
are
croissants,
pastries
and
cakes
as
well
as
some
pre-made
sandwiches
for
those
on
the
go.
We
had
one
of
their
almond
croissants,
filled
with
custard
and
raspberry
which
made
it
nice
and
sweet.
The
space
itself
is
casual
with
plenty
of
space,
wooden
tables
and
a
large
feature
wall
with
a
lovely
botanical
mural.
The
native
flowers
on
the
table
are
in
keeping
with
this
theme.
Open
til
3,
they
are
able
to
service
all
the
locals
and
workers
in
the
area
and
people
on
a
destination
visit
like
me!
I’ll
be
sure
to
be
back
on
my
next
day
off.
