What a gem! The scones were absolutely delicious — light, fluffy and served with the most incredible homemade jam. The tearoom itself is so charming with local art on every wall. Will definitely be back.

Stopped in on a drive along the Great Alpine Road and it was the highlight of the trip. Toasted sandwich was gourmet quality and the coffee was great. The vintage wares are a lovely touch.
Michael R.Recent review
A lovely little find in Bruthen. The homemade chutneys are outstanding — I bought three jars to take home! The atmosphere is very cosy and the service is friendly. A true East Gippsland treasure.
