Description

Sinmei Tea is a hidden gem tucked away in various locations across Brisbane, offering a fusion of Japanese and Hong Kong desserts. Despite being a bit tricky to find due to small signs and minimalistic facades, the cafe provides a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The earl grey angel cake and rose tea are light and delicate, perfect for a sunny afternoon catch-up. While prices are a bit high, the quality of the food and drinks justifies the cost, with matcha-flavored treats being a highlight. The service is top-notch, making it a great spot for relaxed hangouts with friends. Just beware that some desserts can be on the sweeter side. Overall, Sinmei Tea is a must-try for any dessert lover looking for a unique and flavorful experience.

Great little place in paddington. It's a little tucked away so it's hard to spot at first. The matcha late was really delicious. The cakes are light and yummy. The service is great. Just a little pricier than other cafes and cake portions are small. Overall great place will definitely return because their matcha latte is amazing ????

Tucked in James Street, this humble japanese/hong kong fusion dessert place did not disappoint. A bit on the pricey side, but the food and the drinks were well worth it! With added whimsical decor.

Tried the iced matcha latte since that day was hot and they didn't make it too sweet so I quite like the bitterness of it. We also ordered a matcha lava cake but I think they could reduce the sugar a bit and increase the bitterness.

I myself am not a fan of desserts, but I got so obsessed with the angel cakes here. A definite 5 out of 5 for the rose one since it smells so rosy and tastes so flavourful. The texture is super fluffy yet not dry at all. Also a huge thumb up for the matcha latte. The matcha taste is so strong yet not overwhelming. I would say it’s a great place to chill with friends for a lazy afternoon.
