I have now gone a few times with girlfriends and it's always a delight. A little cross between grandma's and vintage - don't let it's appearance fool you - it's one of Ballarat's best kept secrets. Delicious high tea and yummy treats all served on gorgeous china.

We went for high tea and it was amazing- the food was lovely, the setting warm and welcoming and the staff so calm and attended to everything including more hot tea. I would recommend this lovely abode to everyone.

This cluttered but delightful setting is clean looking and well presented with a relaxing atmosphere where it is nice to browse as well as take tea, or lunch, or snack. Pleasant service in intimate sit down cafe which offers an array of cakes and other food. The coffee was good.

We are frequent visitors, and as such, the lovely ladies (and gentleman occasionally) know us by sight, and wwlcome us with friendly smiles and the best English teas. The ladies know exactly what we are going to order every time, and the broad leaf teas, and huge scones go down a treat! Browsing through all the nicknacks and snacks is always a treat. Weather it's a light tea, or hireing/buying classic china, the Vintage China Company is the place to be.

Approximate cost: $4-10
