Yarragon Tea Rooms

On our last trip to Australia while driving through East Gippsland, Victoria, Australia, it was by chance we stopped at the conveniently located Yarragon Tea Rooms and take away. When travelling anywhere away from home it is always enjoyable to be able to stop and appreciate a refreshing cuppa of your choice and take a break. This takeaway and tea rooms combined were easy to find on the main drive (western end Melbourne to Sale highway) and there was plentiful and accessible parking which is often a concern in larger country towns.

Yarragon, Victoria

Like many Victorian country towns Yarragon is very clean and relaxing. We visited the delightful Yarragon Takeaway and spacious tea rooms not once but twice while driving through East Gippsland along the Princes Highway. The two businesses are together, but distinctly different, and are well worth a visit whether you are looking for a meal, snack and coffee, or a station break.

The building also houses a tourist information, unmanned, but with information available about the region — The building also houses a tourist information, unmanned, with brochures available about the region

The Menu

The second time we frequented the takeaway was on our way to catch the Sorrento ferry and we can recommend the pasties and a "build your own" sandwich. I enjoyed my decaf coffee and was interested to see the cafe also sold "fat-free" fruit cake. The takeaway menu initially seemed pretty basic but there were lots of healthy food items as well as a few tables and chairs to eat your takeaway purchases.

A great lunch at any time - a tasty Australian homemade pasty

Amenities

An added bonus is that there are clean washrooms available behind the tea room - always great when on a long drive.

If you are still hungry and would like to buy some fresh bread or other pastry treats for your travels there is a bakery next door with baking on premises.
