Brisbane's Best Tea Rooms

Updated: Sep 30, 2025

Last century Brisbane was home to some beautiful tea rooms that were the place to dress up and visit when you went to the city. Whilst most of those tea rooms are long gone, here are some tea rooms across town where it is still possible to sip tea with a side of historic old-world charm.

Forget Me Not Cafe is a charming cafe in Graceville that is renowned for its traditional, decadent high tea
No visit or life in Brisbane should be without a visit to The Shingle Inn, the iconic 1936 cafe bakery beloved by generations
Whilst the outside world marches through the 21st century, the world of Keri Craig is entrenched in the glamorous 1950s and 60s
Devon Pixies is a quaint tea house residing in the old caretaker's cottage at Kingston Butter Factory Cultural Precinct
