How we read reviews →Owner-made scones, toasties, and the best Basque cheesecake in the Dandenong hills
A warm, intimate Sassafras tearoom with thoughtfully chosen handmade décor, lovely window seats, and an adjoining gift shop. the kind of owner-operated space that feels like visiting a friend's well-stocked kitchen.
All baked goods made in-house daily by Karen and Paul; attached gift shop with handmade items, cards, and homewares; pet-friendly (puppy chinos and water for dogs); pram-accessible; real loose-leaf tea brewed in pot; custom celebration cakes available by order
Classic Australian tearoom tradition executed with genuine personal flair. devonshire tea, freshly baked scones, real loose-leaf tea, and handmade baked goods reflect honest country-café craft rather than commercial replication
Mostly excellent value. affordable café staples with premium handmade quality; occasional reviewer notes the cheesecake at around $12.50 a slice on the pricier side for a small café, but the quality justifies it for most
