I was trying to find a matcha green tea latte cafe for a long, long time! Didn't realize that I had…read moreone right next door to me. Like a 10 min drive from home. It's pretty close to a Coles for shopping afterwards and a fruit shop as well. The decor is quite chilled and inside the cafe it's riddled with heaps of magazines and anime comics. You can even buy a phone case while you wait! Didn't expect it at all but it's pretty cool! There's plenty of parking especially around the 9am mark! The iced latte really hits the spot and it's nice and filling. I've had it once before at another cafe and it felt really runny. So this one really hits the spot. Will definitely be back to try everything else soon.

This cafe is in a magical hidden area. It takes a bit of journey to actually find it. But lucky for…read moreme, I live just down the road. This is like my study hiding place and simply relaxing for sometimes, just sometimes. Free internet and good seating arrangements, it's very convenient and comfortable for me. I always order these three drinks: caramel latte, Vietnamese coffee (with condensed milk) & lychee black tea. The last time I ordered something else, I feel like I just committed a crime to the list of my life decisions. I am not much of coffee drinker, as you can see most of my coffee are flavored (call me a fake coffee drink/ wink wink). So all you expresso or double shots survivors, I'm sorry to announce that you gotta try it to judge the coffee yourself. There are not so much food on the menu, just some packed sandwiches which you can ask them to toast for you if you want. The cakes are moderate. I tried a few. Opera cake still tops it all. Beware: if you need a quiet place for night coffee. NO. Don't come. It opens late till 11pm but they are packed at nighttime with mostly young target markets.

PappaRoti is a franchise and this store does it credit - the buns are Awesome. It's in the Market Square shopping Centre and parking shouldn't be an issue. Walk up and order - inside and outside seating - social distancing applies. Ordered the coffee - it's OK - but hey you come here for the buns. There is an ice cream counter with usual flavors plus some like durian to make it novel. Not much else to say. It's all about the PappaRoti buns !

It has a subtle coffee taste, the top is crispy like a pineapple bun and it's really soft on the inside. It's also nice and warm! The bun is $2.50AUD, with an add on (gelato, or condense milk) it's $4.50AUD and with milk tea it's $5.50AUD. I've been getting the bun with gelato. I've had durian, wildberry and black sesame gelato. The durian gelato has to be my favourite so far! The bun is delicious with condense milk too! I think I'll be here pretty often ;]

We ordered the sizzling matcha brownie with green tea ice cream... it really does sizzle and they put this cream on the pan and it sizzles. Pretty awesome stuff... Got an iced matcha latte with grass jelly and it was totally yummy! I think I just ate too much lactose because my tummy was so not happy in the end... but I loved it!! I'd definitely be back for a frappe or some ice cream later on! The people that worked there were pretty nice too... I think next time I come it'll have to be during the day when it's not so busy and breezy outside!

As I sat in this eclectic cafe-come-vintage store-come-honey dealer I almost forgot I was in…read moreBrisbane. I had driven over the bridge and into a pocket of Brisbane, I'll freely admit, I had never ventured before. Apples came to my attention, as most things do these days, via The Internet (Instagram I think) and it had been on my "to try" list since. So, try I did. On a windy and wintery Wednesday morning I ventured to Apples and for a moment thought I had taken a wrong turn as there was no easily visible sign from the street. Nestled smack bang in a row of old school shops including a convenience store and nail spa and across the road from a lawn bowls club, Apples on Ainsworth is the last thing you'd expect to find. You know as soon as you see the knitted blankets over the mismatched outside furniture you're about to walk into a gem of a cafe. A cafe that feels like you're visiting your grandmother. It is a vintage visual feast and I'm distracted, forgetting that I'm here for lunch. There's a standard menu including avocado on sourdough with haloumi but on this occassion I take a punt on the eggplant risotto cake from the cabinet at the counter (also housing sweets and sandwiches) with a side of salad. PS. This salad was wicked. Beetroot, nuts, kale and a poached egg. I'm not sure what they put in it but it was easily competing to be the hero food on that plate party. Their coffee is Byron Beans and I could drink about three more flat whites than I do. You can also purchase some of the vintage and retro knick-knacks on display and if you bring your own container or jar you can also purchase fresh honey. Ainslie is a little bit out of the way for my north-side self but, in my opinion, well worth the trek!

Came here today at around 10 am for brunch. Almost didn't go in as it didn't look too friendly! But…read morebased on positive reviews on Yelp, I pushed on. Took me a while to focus on the deco and find the menus hiding amidst piles of newspaper on the side by the wall. Fairly small place inside so it was a cosy fit. They have extra tables outside as well. Antique furniture and little knick knacks gave this place a really charming and interesting personality. The staff were an interesting bunch and seemed friendly. I ordered the sunny side up (two eggs, spinach, one slice of sourdough toast and aioli) with a side of bacon. It was pretty yummy, though I personally found the yolks slightly over cooked and I'm a little confused as to why there weren't two slices of toast, but maybe that's just me being a fatty but I always thought two was standard the bacon was super delicious though! Thick, soft and not too salty. At $9.90 (plus $4 for bacon), it's really good value for money. Props to the dude who cleaned up our plates. He was so polite and smiled genuinely

I had pretty low expectations simply because in my experience, food court coffee is usually not very good, but I was pleasantly surprised. The cafe is small but warm and inviting and the service is fast. We got our coffee and cakes in under 10mins. The coffee was actually really good, very creamy and not too bitter. I got a chocolate brownie which was amazing. Very rich and chocolatey and definitely sweet with a like powder coating. My unexpectedly amazing brownie and coffee combination was perfect timing before the movie and I plan to make it a bit of a ritual from now on. It is certainly cheaper than buying popcorn and a coke to take into the movie later and much more enjoyable. I will be back for sure.

Although not a matcha themed cafe they do have a variety of hot & cold drinks & a cute range of desserts to try - some leaning towards the asian variety. I've read past reviews where some say that the matcha lattes for them was not strong enough, but I guess I got lucky when I had mine the other week? - As I found it hard to fault anything. Service was good & friendly, & I find it a clean, well presented place to go to relax & catch up with friends. Just make sure you don't go in their most busiest hours as I believe there is limited seating. Other than that, definitely order the creme brulee as its memorably amazing & choose the hojicha menu items if you appreciate matcha flavour as they dont disappoint ! :)
