Lovely place

We had a booking for Sunday but when I arrived I needed coffee so we had coffee and a piece of chocolate orange cake. My partner had an oat hot chocolate. It was very nice and it is lovely and decadent inside. I loved the decorations.

We visited again on Sunday. I love that they have non alcoholic cocktails. I was able to get an espresso martini (non alcoholic) and we again had the chocolate orange cake and shared a chocolate mint cupcake. This time we sat outside. The martini was perfect. Served in a beautiful glass too.

The person there was lovely and I really liked the whole vibe. They sell cards and tea things as well.

Hidden Art Deco Cafe

The shop is located in the middle of Cairns, with in walking distance from the Lake st bus terminal. It's down a hidden laneway next to Woolworths. The shop is an absolute vintage, art deco dream with a large selection of specialty teas, alcohol-free cocktails, locally roasted coffee, lemonades and more! Surrounded by vintage style and original artwork. They offer are fully vegan offering a select range of vegan cakes, sweet treats and desserts and serving all drinks on plant-based milk alternatives including Soy/Oat/Almond milk. Definitely a must place to visit if you're looking for something different and are in the city.

Great Vibes

Get in and escape the heat! This place has a huge variety of vegan and non alcoholic drinks and a wonderful aesthetic inside. There are also some board games and cakes to eat. They are changing the opening times as of 17th April, and there is also a whole menu of non alcoholic cocktails. The butterbeer was too sweet for me, but great if you have a sweet tooth. Loved the Biscoff latte and the wide variety of teas.

Little jungle oasis

In a hot and tropical part of the world is this cool little jungle Cafe. Ice cold and hot pots of tea including a range of speciality teas in all flavours of the rainbow (if colours had flavours). I'm new to the heat and humidity and have made a bee-line to this cafe after stumbling on to it a few weeks ago. Such a lovely place to chillax and escape the oppressive heat with a tall iced coffee or purple and pink tea.

Decadent and Vegan!!

What can I say about The Secret Jungle. Just being in the space is a calming and beautiful experience. You can see that so much thought, love, and creativity have been put into this must go place.
We have tried many different drinks and sweet treats, and loved them all. The products that Jenna designs, creates and sells in her teashop are just gorgeous. Whether you are visiting Cairns or live here, The Secret Jungle is a must go to.

Pros: Divine space and products, Delicious vegan sweets, Yummy vegan drinks, hot and cold

Cons: Due to work, I don't get to visit as often as I'd

Great addition to Cairns vegan scene. The cakes are to die for.

A great addition to the Cairns vegan scene, and right next door to Root Vegetarian also. The deco is beautiful with lots of plants for sale, floral teas and friendly service. The cakes are absolutely delicious and looking forward to trying more.
