Established in 1892 (not a typo, that's over 120 years ago) the Hopetoun Tea Rooms are somewhat of an institution in Melbourne (if you like your tea & scones). However a changing of the guard has recently taken place.
The new owner also owns Quarter Cafe if DeGraves Street and has brought quality coffee and service to the tea rooms.
If you like your decor "old world chic" then stay in a drink while the world whizzes by on Collins Street. T
The coffee is excellent and the staff friendly and happy.
