"Lots of lovely helpful staff and some Venice cakes too. A quaint building with big beams inside. A customer mentioned about the Christmas lights but was advised by the staff that they’re on all year round. There’s tables and chairs outside for the nice summer days. Very convenient for walking around the lovely village and countryside around Melbourne."

"Warm tasty scone with raspberry jam and a pot of tea. It’s a shame the teapot spilt my tea every time it was used; please consider replacing them. My mum had a toastie which she enjoyed. Limited indoor seating so be aware that you may have to take lunch outside (even in rainy conditions!)"
