About Houbi Ichigo

Houbi Ichigo pairs electric-green whisked matcha with crushed fresh strawberries inside an unexpected chemist setting in Mount Gravatt East. Regulars drop in for the layered strawberry matcha over milk, balanced with chewy ichigo daifuku and warm, freshly folded salmon onigiri. Families drift through to the back garden where an outdoor play kitchen keeps toddlers occupied beside lounge seating. Tins of ceremonial-grade green tea line the counter for home brewing.

  • Strawberry Matcha & Daifuku: Hand-whisked green tea layered with sweet fruit puree, paired with chewy mochi wrapping fresh strawberries.
  • Garden Seating & Play Kitchen: Outdoor backyard setup featuring comfortable parent chairs and a dedicated play kitchen for toddlers.
  • Savory Onigiri & Teas: Freshly assembled rice triangles filled with baked salmon or tuna, alongside iced hojicha drinks.

Why Choose Houbi Ichigo

Handcrafted strawberry matcha, housemade Japanese treats, and a family-friendly garden cafe inside Mount Gravatt East.

  • Ceremonial-grade matcha with fresh strawberries

    Whisked smooth with high-grade ceremonial powder, the vibrant green tea balances rich earthy depth with fresh, lightly sweet strawberries across iced drinks and matcha-infused desserts.

    The matcha is absolutely exceptional. It has that vibrant, electric green color that usually signals high-grade ceremonial quality, and the texture is incredibly smooth—perfectly whisked with no clumps in sight.

  • Generous real fruit and undiluted tea flavor

    Every iced specialty relies on generous helpings of real strawberries and authentic, concentrated green tea rather than artificial flavoring or watery bases.

    The best strawberry matcha! They use fresh strawberries and are very generous with it! The matcha is made to perfection! You can actually taste the matcha and it is not diluted as well!

  • Savory onigiri and handmade mochi pairings

    Freshly prepared savory options like salmon onigiri combine seamlessly with strawberry daifuku mochi and iced hojicha or matcha for an easy, well-rounded Japanese snack.

    The salmon onigiri and strawberry mochi also complemented the drink well - was a deal for drink + onigiri and mochi. Would recommend. Let's you try a few things.

  • Take-home specialty matcha powder tins

    For home brewing, the cafe supplies tins of their sourced ceremonial green tea powder so guests can replicate vivid, high-grade drinks in their own kitchens.

    i recently bought a tin of their matcha powder and i’ve been using it at home and it is amazing, it has a beautiful flavour and is such a nice bright green :)

  • Garden play area and parent seating

    Tucked quietly into a local chemist storefront, the cafe opens up into an outdoor garden setting where parents can rest comfortably while toddlers play.

    outdoor kids play area in the “garden” keeps toddlers very busy. Comfy parent chairs at the back.

  • Playful outdoor space tucked inside a local chemist

    With both cool indoor seating and an open fresh-air play space equipped with a play kitchen, families enjoy an easy and relaxed visit with young children.

    The cafe itself is actually located inside the pharmacy. There is seating outside and a little kids play kitchen too.

Before you head over

Practical advice on finding the venue, catching full dessert cabinets, and navigating weekend parking.

  • Locating the Chemist Entrance

    Look for the cafe tucked right inside the chemist and pharmacy building, where counter ordering leads to a leafy rear garden and toddler play kitchen.

  • Arrive Early for Dessert Cabinets

    Cabinet items like strawberry sandos and specialty sweets can sell out quickly, so drop in earlier in the day if you want the fullest pastry and mochi selection.

  • Weekend Street Parking Option

    On-site parking can get tight over the weekend, making nearby street spaces your most reliable alternative when dropping by during peak morning hours.
