If you grew up in Sydney, you already know Henry Lee’s was that café. The OG Tumblr / early IG brunch spot in Redfern where everyone went for aesthetic food pics — and honestly, it still holds up 🎞️
The space has that industrial warehouse feel but done in a softer, contemporary way. Lots of natural light floods the outdoor patio, and the umbrellas give just enough shade so you can sit there comfortably for hours without feeling like you’re roasting 🌞
Drinks first — the strawberry matcha 🍵 had that earthy matcha base balanced with a subtle berry sweetness, and it looked so pretty layered. The sakura jelly lemonade was light, slightly floral and refreshing, with the jelly adding a fun texture 🌸
Food-wise, my favourite was the Sobalicious with added miso salmon 🍣 The green soba noodles were light and refreshing, tossed in a way that didn’t feel heavy at all. The miso salmon was flaky, tender and glazed beautifully — it paired so well with the noodles when you wanted something fresh but still filling.
Rice Rice Baby was definitely the heartier option. It felt comforting and savoury, layered with flavour and really satisfying if you’re after something more substantial. On the sweeter side, Waffle Like Jagger 🥞 was indulgent and playful — crispy edges, soft inside, and plated in that classic Henry Lee’s aesthetic way that makes you want to take photos before eating.
Definitely one of my favourite brunch spots in Sydney which I’ll frequently return to. Thank you for having me (∩˃o˂∩)♡
