Wuta Brewer
Wuta Brewer is the sister cafe of the South Brisbane Wuta Cafe, and this little inner-city hotspot has quickly become known for its specialty matcha. Pouring only top-grade matcha, Wuta blend the mellow and umami flavours of their ceremonial-grade tea into incredible new flavours that are worth going out of your way for.
Our picks? The iced coconut matcha (made on coconut water) or the matcha strawberry float, which is topped with matcha soft serve.
If you’re also a fan of hojicha, you’re in luck. Wuta brews a mix of floats and flavours with this delicious tea, too! Our personal favourite is the Biscoff hojicha — it’s the perfect mix of sweet, caramelised and roasted.

Peach Cafe
Peach Cafe is a favourite for plenty of reasons — the gooey-centred cookies, creative brekkie plates and the convenient proximity to a playground… But it’s the way they constantly innovate their menu, particularly their matcha, that is a constant pull.
At this adorable pink cafe, you can always get your hands on an OG matcha or strawberry milk take, but keep across their socials and you’ll uncover other delights, ranging from banana bread to mango.
Sitchu Tip: This beautiful space is also keen on building community, as evidenced by their hugely successful run club. If you’re down for a Sunday morning run fuelled by the promise of plenty of little treats, consider popping by!

Supernice
Brisbane has just as big a thing for sandwiches as it does for matcha. Luckily, Supernice does both. Using genuine Marukyu Koyamaen matcha straight from Japan, you can expect a smooth flavour with each order. They also make all of their syrups in-house, so you won’t get any of that overly sweet artificial taste. But the best bit? Supernice have introduced the 1L bucket, perfect for those of us with an empty cup within seconds.
Sitchu Tip: A house-baked focaccia sandwich is a must whilst you’re there.
