Check out the size of those scones. Seriously.  Miss Marple’s up on the tourist strip in Sassafras (in Mt Dandenong) is famous for their scones, little finger sandwiches and other quaint little tea room type foods. They serve Yorkshire Tea and delicious jams with the scones (both of which they also sell) and have Agatha Christie’s novels on the bookshelf (not for sale). I’ve been told the place is always packed, but it’s not hard to see why. It’s cute, cosy and well worth a visit. And afterwards you can wander next door to Tea Leaves which boasts the largest range of tea in all of Melbourne. More than 300 varieties. But you don’t want to bring small children inside. The place is similarly cosy with small aisles (passing people is like a little dance) and filled with an extremely large selection of very breakable teacups, pots, mugs and other paraphernalia.
