Why it's worth checking out

Social Butterfly sits on Temperance Lane, a characterful laneway in the heart of the Sydney CBD. A dedicated tea and dessert spot, it's earned a strong reputation for its quality teas, beautifully made desserts and relaxed, characterful atmosphere — the kind of charming, indulgent spot that's become a genuine favourite for a sweet treat and a cuppa.

The appeal is that combination of quality teas, beautifully made desserts and a relaxed, characterful laneway setting in the heart of the city, ideal for an afternoon tea, a sweet treat, a catch-up or a dessert outing. The focus on quality tea and dessert gives it a real point of difference, and Social Butterfly has clearly won over a loyal following.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 750 reviews, it's clearly delighting its visitors. The tea and dessert menus, opening hours and pricing vary, and a popular spot gets busy at peak times and on weekends, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a quality tea and a beautiful dessert, it's often just a matter of dropping in down Temperance Lane in the city.
