About Araminta's Tea Room

Just off the Hume, this country tea house cures highway fatigue with genuine scratch baking and deep armchairs. Road-trippers skip the standard service centres for warm scones slicked with house-made jam, tall milkshakes, and hefty slices of beef pie or towering vanilla slice. Inside the renovated heritage hall, natural light pours across timber tables, couches, and a quiet toy corner where kids can unwind. It wraps up with a proper Devonshire tea—freshly brewed pots alongside scones soft enough to pull apart with your fingers.

  • Scratch-Baked Country Treats: House-made vanilla slices, warm scones with rhubarb jam, and flaky savoury pies baked fresh on site.
  • Restorative Road-Trip Lounge: A restorative detour off the Hume Highway featuring comfortable lounge seating and a play space with toys for children.

    Pastries and sweets crafted right in the kitchen include standout items like massive vanilla slices and tender Devonshire scones paired with homemade jam.

    10/10 best vanilla slice I have ever had. The pastry on the pies is also outstanding.

Before you head over

Practical advice on timing, ordering, and parking for your road-trip stop

  • Arrive Early for Popular Bakes

    Popular baked goods like the house-made pies and vanilla slices sell out quickly, so aim to stop in earlier in the day for the fullest bakery cabinet selection.

  • Pace for Weekend Waits

    Weekend visits can experience slower kitchen times during peak rushes; plan for an unhurried stop or enjoy coffee and milkshakes while meals are prepared fresh.

  • Straightforward Caravan & Street Parking

    Tallarook Street offers ample street parking right out front that comfortably accommodates large road-trip vehicles, caravans, and towing setups.
