Sit, Marrickville
Features
tick-imageNotable Coffee

Sit is a place to, well, sit. Around small sunny tables beside ceiling-height windows. On church pews underneath a loud, large-scale art piece. At a glossy-topped table embedded with donated lace doilies. Or on a pastel-yellow grandstand that diverted one tonne of plastic from landfill.

House-cultured yoghurts are plentiful and there are snacky serves of fruit and cheese. If you’re after something more filling, plates of steak and eggs join silky rolled omelettes and pancakes.

The 40-seat social enterprise is a group project between not-for-profits Fresh Hope Communities and Nightingale Housing alongside the Baba’s Place crew. According to the team, the name is a “soft but firm command to become sedentary.” Come in and take a seat.
