AI Summary

Late-night Hardware Lane matcha bar with inventive bingsu, mochi toast and Earl Grey matcha lattes

Small, bright and cosy dessert bar tucked down a laneway, with clean Melbourne minimalism and pretty plating. Seats are limited and the room can feel crowded and noisy at peak times.

Matcha-forward menu with bingsu, matcha drinks, mochi toast, matchamisu and cookies. Limited-time bingsu releases such as an apple crumble flavour, an Earl Grey oat milk option, and open until 11pm.

A modern Asian-inspired dessert menu mixing Japanese matcha, Korean-style bingsu, Thai kaya toast and Southeast Asian ube. One reviewer noted the injeolmi bingsu is not strictly Korean in style.

Premium pricing. Bingsu is around $24 to $25, which fans say is justified by quality toppings and generous textures, while others find portions smaller than before and the price steep.
