AI Summary

Carnegie's matcha bar with creative blends, weekend DJ sessions and cosy living-room vibes.

A warmly designed, intimate space with bench seating at the counter and couches at the back. Moody and cosy on weekdays; lively with a vinyl DJ on weekends. more relaxed lounge than typical café.

Each matcha whisked fresh to order, producing vibrant green colour; owner co-founder Bee known for hands-on hospitality; weekend live DJ on vinyl decks; Butterboy cookies stocked in-house; gluten-free cookie options; dog-friendly outdoor seating.

Draws on South-East Asian matcha traditions and Thai flavour profiles (nom yen, pandan chiffon cake) delivered in a modern Melbourne café context.

Priced at the premium end for the area (~$9-$10.30 per drink including surcharge). Most find quality justifies the price; some note portion size on iced drinks tilts heavy on ice. Coffee is reasonably priced.
