Chicken Sandwich

Finally made it to PIÑA, one of Sydney’s most popular cafés, and I have to say—it lived up to the hype. The vibe was super chill, and even though the line is usually crazy long, I only had to wait about 20 minutes. Must be my lucky day!

Now, the Chicken Sandwich. It’s packed to the brim with fillings, so it’s definitely a knife-and-fork situation. The bread was light and airy, with the base soaked in butter—so good. The chicken filling was bouncy, rich, and creamy. But the real standout was this flaky layer on top of the bread that tasted like nori and furikake. It wasn’t listed as an ingredient on the menu, so maybe it’s actually the chilli oil they mentioned? I dunno, but that bit was definitely the highlight for me. The carrots, cucumber, and lettuce (?) were fresh and crunchy, adding a nice balance.

It didn’t look huge, but with the butter and mayo, it turned out to be pretty filling. The weather was perfect, the vibe was spot on, and I can confirm PIÑA’s a café worth visiting.
