About Miss Marple's Tearoom
One of the Dandenong Ranges' tea room favourites, Miss Marple's Tearoom sits in Sassafras and holds a 4.1-star rating across 2,967 Google reviews. The Dandenong Ranges tea room tradition is one of the region's enduring charms — English garden settings, traditional service, and an unmistakable sense of stepping out of normal time.
Devonshire teas — scones, jam, cream, pot of tea — are the classic order, though most tea rooms also do full high-tea spreads (best to book ahead) and light lunches. Atmosphere is the draw: think lace tablecloths, antique china, English-garden settings.
One recent guest summed it up: "Quirky English cottage vibe, staff in costume, and those famous square-cut scones with jam and cream – absolutely worth the drive up. No bookings, so weekends mean long waits (1–2 hours) plus a 10% surcharge. Go early…"
Miss Marple's Tearoom operates 7 days a week, giving plenty of options for fitting it into a Yarra Valley itinerary.
