In an era where each burgeoning new cafe is more considered and refined than the last, the throwback charm and romantic prettiness of the Mossgreen Tearooms is a welcome face on the scene.

Here the plates may be classic Wedgewood and the tablecloths pristine linen, but the stark white walls are adorned with an ever-changing array of art exhibitions, ensuring there’s more to look at with your breakfast than your usual Sunday papers. Menus are illustrated by popular Australian artist Kate Bergin; her fanciful animal sketches the perfect accoutrement to the sophisticated Mad Hatter Tea Party vibe the creative team has shaped.

While the Tearooms offer European-style breakfast and lunch fare, the real drawcard here is its high tea spread. Sit back and enjoy a selection of finger sandwiches, scones and petit fours; and wash it all down with tea, coffee, or some bubbles.
