AI Summary

McKinnon's beloved vintage café serving high tea, Welsh Rarebit and the signature Melbourne Fog.

Quirky, warm and genuinely distinctive. vintage china, mismatched teaspoons, tea cosies, upstairs seating with fireplace, rotating local art on the walls and Frank Sinatra in the background. The atmosphere is unhurried and intimate. Outdoor seating comes with blankets and cushions in cooler months. Reviewers consistently describe it as cosy, homely and unlike any other café in the area.

Premium high tea service (includes cheese board, sandwiches and traditional sweets); upstairs dining room with fireplace; rotating local artist wall exhibitions; outdoor seating with blankets and cushions; dog-friendly outdoor area; Sunday live guitar; house-made baked beans; regularly changing specials board; tea served in beautiful pot sets.

Modern Australian with British-influenced high tea traditions. scones with cream and jam, Welsh Rarebit, tea cosies. executed with genuine care rather than as a novelty.

Priced above the average neighbourhood café. some reviewers mention $92 for four diners or $11 for two slices of fruit toast. The majority consider it worth the premium given portion quality, presentation and the overall experience. High tea package singled out as very reasonable for what's offered.
