James, the barista at Tripod, makes the best cup of coffee in Chippendale. You can find him there most mornings.
If Julie, a co-owner, is cooking whatever you get will be brilliant.
Watch out for little dynamo Linda, the other co-owner. She sings along with whatever song is playing - which is kinda nice. Her voice is pretty good.
The chicken ceasar salad is my favourite dish here. Always freshly chopped and freshly mixed ingredients and the chicken is moist and tasty - with delicious home made dressing.
If everything else is shut, you can count on Tripod being open. Good place for coffee but the breakie is average. The staff however are great and so is the atmosphere.
