This is really unique place perfect for vegetarians/vegans who love tea and yum cha. The cafe is small but has character and the size suits the atmosphere. The layout is great with comfy cushions and beautiful furniture. The staff are great to have a chat with and are very friendly. The food is delicious, I had a particular soft spot for the satay sticks. As well as serving food, the Metal Tiger offers a range of items to by inclluding awesome bags, jewellery and a ton of tea sets and teas. I left with a gorgeous necklace and bag as well as some tea to brew at home!

This place is unique. I have never been anywhere like this in Australia and it feels like you are in a tea house somewhere in a back street in Asia not on the Noosa River. You have to try the iced tea with tapioca pearls. A real indulgent treat available in so many different varieties. We stayed for lunch and had Chicken Laksa and also Gado Gado Indonesian salad. Both were fresh, tasty and delicious. Well worth a visit, if not for lunch but for the iced tea.

Approximate cost: $16.90
