Moments & Memories Tea Room has recently relocated to a new home at 44 Camp Street, Beechworth, continuing its tradition of old fashioned service and timeless charm.
A much loved local institution, Moments & Memories has been lovingly run by owner and cook Lyn for 14 years. Set in a cottage style tearoom, tables are dressed with white linen, fine bone china and thoughtful details. The menu features breakfast, morning and afternoon teas, light lunches, house made scones, pikelets and over 60 varieties of tea.
Beyond the table, you’ll find house made jams and preserves, china, giftware and craft items, alongside Lyn’s personal collection of china and teapots. It’s a place cherished by locals and visitors alike, and a lovely stop while exploring Beechworth.
