Recommendation: Birdhouse Tea Bar and Kitchen, Sydney Street
A good brew is a wonderful thing - but Birdhouse Tea Company's new tea bar and kitchen takes it one step further.
The revamped former cutlery works serves up a massive array of artisan teas - complete with timer to make sure you get the perfectly steeped cuppa.
There are also tea-infused cocktails and fermented Chinese teas on offer, plus healthy dishes such as Buddha bowls and smoothies.
If a sweet treat is more your cup of tea, they also do cakes and desserts.
The bonus is its open until 10pm every evening too.
