We’re about to spill some serious tea here – if you’re after a refreshing and delicious beverage then head over to Heeretea. Located in one of Sunnybank Plaza’s carparks, the bespoke tea bar is a popular Asian franchise that pioneered the cheese tea. Yes, cheese tea! If the combination of tea and cheese sounds off-putting, think of it as a delicious combo that tastes just like liquid cheesecake.
