Mary’s High Tea

The scone has been around for ages. It is the star of high tea and the most popular dessert in the British Isles. Served in a teacup at the handle, it is a hefty calorie bomb, but the flavoursome crust makes up for it.

Probably the most important component to the scone is the flour. To make a scone of a reasonable size, you’ll need a decent sized jug of milk, and an egg or two. Adding the right proportion of these elements will ensure you have the most scone of your life. You’ll also need a few minutes to wait out before you pop them in the oven.

Keeping it simple, a decent scone can be frozen and then reheated in a hot oven for a few minutes. If you can’t be bothered, you can buy a pre-made package. However, if you want to get the most out of your baking experience, you might as well do it yourself.

Mary’s high tea is no different. The menu includes the standard fare, but you can also order a VIP package that comes with a bottle of Veuve D’argent French Sparkling and a martini of your choice. Also, you can even order a box to take home with you. This is particularly handy if you have a few guests over. Alternatively, you can go all out with Mary’s Very Important Mum package, which can be ordered 2 to 3 days prior to Mother’s Day.

Whether you are planning to indulge yourself or have invited a few friends for tea, Mary’s has a scone for everyone. Not to mention the many other tea related goodies available. You can order a box today and pick up a few hours later, or have it delivered to your door for a flat fee of $9.

Miss Marple’s

If you are planning a day trip to the Dandenong Ranges, you may want to consider visiting Miss Marple’s Tearoom. Aside from serving delicious tea, this restaurant also serves traditional Devonshire scones. The cafe is located in a cute building in Sassafras. It is open Monday to Friday and on Sunday and Monday. You can enjoy morning tea, lunch, or a late afternoon tea. There are also savoury finger sandwiches and home-made jam.

One of the things I enjoyed most about the scones was that they tasted exactly like they were supposed to. The texture was a bit dry, and they had a very small crumb. They were accompanied by raspberry jam, which was a nice touch.

In addition to the scones, I also tried a pumpkin soup. This was very good. It was full of cheese, bacon, and spring onion. Adding sour cream and a hint of apple cider vinegar really made the flavors pop.

In addition to savoury sandwiches, the cafe also serves chicken cottage pie. The building is decorated for Christmas, and you can listen to Christmas carols playing in the background. So if you are looking for a little holiday cheer, it’s worth taking a trip to Miss Marple’s Tearoom. After a long day of hiking, it’s a nice place to stop for lunch. With a seating capacity of just eight, you can expect to wait in line for a while before being served. But once you are, you won’t regret it!

Miss Marple’s Tearoom is a lovely place to stop for lunch or a little afternoon tea. Located in the town of Sassafras, it’s a popular day trip destination. For more information, check out the Miss Marple’s website.

Fairfield Park Boathouse

Located within the Fairfield Park Boathouse, this beautiful tea room serves coldstream sparkling as well as traditional Devonshire scones. There are also gluten-free treats available. This establishment has been around for over 110 years and has the feel of a bygone era.

One of the things that makes the Fairfield Park Boathouse & Tea Garden so special is the tea garden. The aforementioned scones can be sampled while you relax in the garden. The other big gimmick is the space that they provide to rent watercraft for those who prefer to stay dry.

It may not be the first place you think of to eat a scone, but you might be surprised at just how many options are on offer. You’ll find savoury and sweet versions, both served with jams. Also on offer is a delicious lemonade scone. These are light and refreshing, and go well with whipped Chantilly cream. Other options include the classic scones, the fruits of the forest, and the traditional fruit scones.

If you’re looking to have a more formal lunch, you’ll also want to check out the Olde Towne Cafe. This historic restaurant is known for its afternoon tea, as well as breakfast and lunch. However, if you’re more of a snacker, you’ll want to try the Astor Theatre’s cafe. Although this place only has a small menu of food, it does have a classic snack bar that features homemade popcorn.
