Melbourne might be known as a coffee city but here's where to find a properly brewed tea (and this cute snack)
If we're reading the leaves correctly, Melbourne's tea culture is entering its golden era. How do you take yours? Picked from the mountains of south-west China and steeped to a stopwatch? Sweet, spicy, and redolent of the bustling streets of Mumbai? Served with a scone and a finger sandwich? Which ever way, we've got you covered with Melbourne's best cafes for tea. This list is part of Good Food's Essential Melbourne Cafes and Bakeries of 2025. Presented by T2, this guide celebrates the people and places that shape our excellent cafe and bakery scenes and includes more than 100 venues reviewed anonymously across 10 categories, including icons, those best for food, coffee and matcha, and where to get the city's best sweets, sandwiches and baked goods. (These reviews also live on the Good Food app, and are discoverable on the map.) Here's the tea. Assembly In a coffee-obsessed city, finding anywhere that serves more than five types of tea is exciting. This little Carlton cafe quietly showcases more than three times that number, spanning white to amber tea, selected carefully from renowned regions such as Yunnan and Kagoshima. Herbal tisanes are blended in-house, and beautiful servingware makes each sip an act of self-care.

We asked Nigella Lawson where she'd eat in Sydney if she had a day to roam
You'd be hard-pressed to find a bigger international fan of Sydney's and Australia's food scenes than British cookbook and TV personality Nigella Lawson. You just need to look at her Instagram account to see her enthuse about the restaurants she has visited here over the years. It's why Vivid's creative director, Gill Minervini, invited Lawson to host three dinners as part of this year's festival. Just before the 280 guests arrived for her three-course curated dinner in the reimagined Muru Giligu Tunnel in Martin Place, Good Food snared 10 minutes of her time to talk about her favourite topic: eating. You're a big advocate of Sydney's food scene. Why? I haven't eaten in every city in the world, but the reason why I love eating in Sydney is that I think the food is extraordinarily good. There are chefs who are really inspirational for me, but it's done in an informal setting. I don't mean Sydney itself, but at restaurants. What interests me is really exquisite food but [done] in a rather relaxed, unpretentious setting so it feels very inclusive … Obviously, the variety of food in Sydney is enormous, and I think that's partly because, like all port cities, there are people from so many different cultures, and that feeds into the food culture. But there's a particular sort of attitude, an Australian attitude, which is perhaps less bound by tradition so it'll allow itself to drink in and absorb many cultures, and then somehow will spin them and merge them and come up with something that is very direct, very unpretentious, very Australian, and that's fascinating.
