All Moments About Sassafras
The most famous scone restaurant in Sassafras Fairytale Village
Miss Maple’s Tearoom is a scone shop in Sassafras Fairytale Village that always has a long waiting line, just like in England.
Miss Maple’s Tearoom is named after the main character of Miss Marple, a mystery novel by British novelist Agatha Christie.
The interior of the shop is a vintage building that looks like it came from England, and even the staff are wearing maid uniforms, so it feels like you’re in a fairytale village.
The menu sells sandwiches, fish and chips, scones, tea, etc.,
but you should definitely try their signature scone.
The scone we know is not hard, but soft like bread, and the jam that you can spread on it is actually homemade here, so it’s fresh and delicious when eaten together.

Miss Marple's Tearoom, Melbourne
📍Address: 382 Mount Dandenong Tourist Rd, Sassafras VIC 3787
🕰️Business hours: Monday to Friday 11:00-15:30 Saturday and Sunday 11:00-16:00
This English-style Tearoom is located on Mt Dandenong in the southeast of Melbourne. It is a warm restaurant that looks like a British grandmother's home.
The main product is scones - there are original flavors and fruit flavors. Two scones are served in one serving. You can choose the same flavor or mix and match!
Scones are served with the store's special jam and fresh cream. I personally recommend that you add them to eat with scones. They are a perfect match🤩
In addition, I also recommend their soups. The soups are different every day. You can ask the store staff first and then decide whether they suit your taste. At the same time, the soups will also come with a hot bun and cream. It is very delicious to eat with the soup🤤
If you have the opportunity to visit Mt Dandenong, don't miss this store!

Local attractions - Sassafras town, Miss MARPLES tea room
In the small town of Sassafras, there are different specialty shops where you can browse around and buy souvenirs, postcards, scented candles, skin care products, etc.
Then there is a cafe that I heard is very famous - Miss MARPLES tea room. Many people come here to queue up for lunch. It seems that some celebrity has eaten there before (not sure).
But the whole town is really beautiful for taking photos!
