I love those dark chocolate cakes, very intense flavour. I just wish they do something about the insects in the cake display!
Walked past this Japanese style cafe after the lunch at the Jackpot back to the end of July. Love its modernized lay-out so went in to get a take away coffee.
While I was waiting for my flat white, I went upstairs to explore their shop fitting. It gave me a very strong feeling of visiting a modernized cafe in Tokyo. Importantly, they are doing serious business to serve nice coffee here.
A place worth for re-visit next time.
Loved the staff, ambiance and range of desserts they have.... would love to come back here again and try out other types of coffee and desserts
It looked so beautiful and everything had such great flavor and my entire family loved it of course. We found the service to be lovely too. The cafe got extremely busy soon after we got in but the staff were still great.
I can say.. I love it! The cafe is absolutely nice, clean and comfortable. The staff were are very nice and friendly. Having people come in and out all the time, I recommend who like this style.. Thanks.
So happy Brisbane city has this beautiful cafe with delicious desserts! A really nice place to sit down and relax and catch up with friends! Bonsai, you guys should considering extending your opening hours!!! It would be really lovely if I can head here for desserts after my dinner :)

We enjoy hanging out Bonsai Botanika for their flourless cakes, cool ice coffees and some quiet spots for long catch ups and hangouts. The flourless cakes are moist and flavoursome!
The cake was really nice! Iced Latte was a bit watery for my liking. The interior of the place is really cute and warming but the layout of the second floor is not comfortable for my liking:( tables are too close to each other and it becomes really uncomfortable during peak hours.
This is a great space to meet up outside the office for coffees and a meeting. There are many delicious options if you aren’t feeling like a coffee. I like the set up, aircon does struggle against the Brisbane heat.
I love the aesthetic of this cafe. The interior is surprisingly large, and is a nice place in the city to chat with friends for a bit over a drink.
Sadly, their chai is made with powder and thus way too sweet. Nothing special about their English breakfast tea either - but the serving size is massive. I ordered medium and they gave me a whole jug of it, which ended up being like three decently-sized cups.
My favourite thing is how they gave extra chocolate syrup in an Erlenmeyer flask with my friend's chocolate manschy. Certainly didn't expect to see those out of a chem lab!
Finally came here for the first time for a quick coffee break after I walked past it a million times. The cafe is much bigger than it looks with 2 levels, interesting interior. The pour over coffee was good, good technique, very smooth texture. The matcha white chocolate cake was okay, a bit too much for my liking. Will come back again for more coffee.

The buttermilk cake was such a delight <33 Served at the perfect warmth with a beautiful delicate spongy texture. I expected more from the iced matcha latte, but maybe the dilution was from the ice melting? Though I remember even my first sip being unremarkable. I'll have to come back and try the hot version when the weather gets colder as I imagine that could be more flavourful. Very keen to try the matcha desserts too C:
The interior is gorgeous as well; it's much bigger than it looks from the outside with a second floor that has ample seating, and can accommodate both individuals and small groups. For those who like going out more than I do, I think it would be the perfect place to get some work done in a fresh environment. That said, it's also just a lovely place to catch up with friends and hang out in. The rustic decor is welcoming and super comfortable ^-^
The staff members were all very friendly and polite, and service was extremely fast. Will definitely be back to try other items.
The most aesthetic cafe in the CBD. The atmosphere makes you feel like you've stepped into the backstreets of Japan. The cafe has a very eclectic style and warm tones which make you feel relaxed and cosy.
The drinks are all very tasty and it's exciting to try new ones because you never know what cute little cups/beakers you'll get. I especially love how the hot chocolate comes as a side to the milk so that you can choose how much you want to pour in yourself!
The cakes are all incredible and the flavours change often. I recommend trying them all!
I can typically be very critical or satire (as some may call it) with my google reviews but this store truely holds a special place in my heart. This store has a warm atmosphere with welcoming staff. My father took me here a few years ago for the first time and I was melted with the smell of freshly roasted coffee beans and sweet hot chocolate. The drinks and foods are incredibly delicious too! It is difficult to capture just how wonderful this place is from a few photos but it is easily one of the best cafes I have ever visited in Brisbane.
The matcha cakes at Bonsai Botanika are the best. They are served beautifully on a plate with cream and fruits. The service is always friendly and efficient.
Once you are ready, walk up to the counter and order. You'll receive a buzzer, and this will beep once your order is ready for collection from the counter.
It's always nice returning to Bonsai Botanika, and we look forward to returning for more matcha cakes.
Brewed coffee and chocolates at its best?
This vintage place with its friendly staff would warmly welcome you in an array of choices and comfortable space.
Spending my Sunday after Sunday here is truly memorable especially it's quite accessible.
I come here literally every day - obsessed with their Iced Matcha, and the cute and cozy vibes of the place. It’s perfect for studying at!
