At Osoi, every matcha is whisked by hand, no matter how far down Albion Street the lines stretch. The tiny Brunswick shop serves strawberry matcha and banoffee matcha affogato made with gelato from Luther’s Scoops.

Coffee options might include a dark cherry cola espresso; a take on ca phe sua da (coffee with milk) made with dark-roasted Vietnamese coffee and a salted yuzu citron cream; or a fruity double-shot espresso tonic, with Korean honey citron and elderflower tonic water. Final-Fantasy -inspired teas are also available, like the Besaid Island – a melon oolong with a toasty genmaicha cream on top.

Snacks come from neighbouring spots and include canelés from Wakewake and pastries – such as a plum, caramelised almond and lemon thyme danish – from French bakery Alex Bake 3057.

There’s also a cosy book nook with journaling prompts and postcards the team will mail out for you.
