Happy Alley is a playful remix of artisanal bakery and fast-food restaurant, and there’s nothing else like it in Sydney. Follow the queue as it weaves around crowded communal tables (yes, that chicken schnitzel sandwich tastes as good as it looks; yes, you should order the cinnamon-spiked raspberry matcha), towards the main attraction: cookies – thick, soft and fresh-out-the-oven – in flavours including salted choc-chip. It’s indulgent, it’s joyous and you’ll be back.

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