How we read reviews →QV Melbourne's Asian-fusion dessert cafe, famous for matcha San Sebastian cheesecake.
A sleek, moody minimalist cafe in the QV precinct, popular for study sessions and catch-ups, described as trendy without being pretentious, though it gets very busy with queues at peak times.
Imports premium matcha powder direct from Japan, QR-code ordering, an extensive matcha and specialty drinks menu, and a dinner menu of katsu, ramen and pasta alongside the all-day dessert case.
Imported Japanese matcha is called out by reviewers as genuinely premium; the broader menu is a deliberate Asian-Melbourne fusion rather than a single-heritage cuisine.
Widely flagged as pricier than the average cafe, with cheesecakes around $15-17 and small drinks near $10; reviewers are split on whether the quality justifies the price.
