Its adored menu has scooted a few suburbs over into a light-filled former sandwich shop. Expect suburb-specific specials, ferments and pickles.

· Updated on 16 Jul 2021 · Published on 20 May 2021

There’s a good chance you’ve already frequented Small Talk 2.0, despite the fact it only opened recently. How? The Dulwich Hill – nay, Sydney – favourite has set up shop in the former Subway on Glebe Point Road (GPR). It’s a sandwich evolution, if you will.

Owner Sam Terrey was arguably one of the lucky ones of 2020. His Dulwich Hill bakery-cafe-deli boomed last year, with lines out the door and a city-wide hunger for his special-recipe bagels and Sydney-famous tomato focaccia.

“When Covid hit we had really amazing community support and we were able to grow our offering and take on more staff. We were really proud we were able to do that during the height of the pandemic and it led us to consider opening the second location to continue that journey,” Terrey tells Broadsheet.

And continue that journey he has. Set in a courtyard up the residential end of GPR is Small Talk Glebe (Small Talk’s fanbase has been waiting months for its opening), a light-filled, dough-smelling, functional space offering the same epic goods as its Dulwich Hill counterpart.

Enter and you’ll be greeted with the finest greeting: a line-up of each item from the daily menu. Find all your favourites: hand-rolled everything bagels jammed with either cheesy egg, pastrami, lox, or cream cheese and pickles. You’ll also see Small Talk’s signature tomato focaccia and its equally great potato, black olive and ricotta slab. Plus, morning buns, cinnamon doughnuts reminiscent of those made by Terrey’s Romanian grandmother, ricotta-stuffed doughnuts laced with Messina chocolate chips, and savoury scrolls. All served alongside coffee made with Reuben Hills beans.

As it settles into its new Glebe digs keep your eyes peeled for future menu items including fermented cool drinks, house-made ferments and pickles, and suburb-specific specials and baked goods.

A small retail wall is dedicated to a selection of products from local Australian producers. Spy Bodega Deli hot sauce, Mama Liu’s chilli oil, Drunken Sailor condiments and, of course, Reuben Hills beans.

“We have a lot of customers who come from far and wide, so we wanted a more central location,” Terrey says. You may rest assured, Terrey: The People will be coming.
