Celebrating 20 Years of Community Connection: First Drop Café Opens New Location in Marrickville

In the heart of Marrickville, a delightful mix of tradition and innovation is brewing. First Drop, a community-loved café founded by Michael Savvakis, announces the opening of its second branch on the occasion of its 20th business anniversary. Joined in this endeavour by his brother-in-law Christopher Hing, the duo brings to Marrickville the same warmth, friendliness, and culinary delight that made their first café a staple in the Sydney food scene. First Drop’s journey began in 2003 as a quaint corner café on Baptist & Telopea Street, Redfern. Michael Savvakis’ vision of a local café transformed into a community sanctuary offering classic breakfast and lunchtime favourites. Keeping things simple and excelling at the basics became First Drop’s success mantra. In 2007, Christopher Hing officially joined the business, making First Drop a family affair. His Greek and Chinese heritage brought an enticing fusion of flavours to the menu, enriching the café’s offerings.

The new Marrickville outlet promises exciting options for functions and catering, including a spacious indoor and outdoor patio area. The new menu at Marrickville continues to reflect First Drop’s commitment to simplicity and authenticity. From the… Read More
