A hidden gem in Boronia!
From the moment you walk into the Drop In cafe, you know you are stepping into somewhere different. The decorative pieces are a combination of kitsch, whimsical, retro, classical with lashings of pop culture moments. Each trinket and piece of serving ware shouldnt go together, but they do. It may be mismatched, but its cohesive.
We were treated to a high tea for two. For the price point, this was incredibly good value. The high tea platter maintains its traditional fare but with added twists. I understand that menu items vary based on whats in stock, which means there is innovation. It would be unfair to specify what I did have, because you might not get them the next time.
The tea selection however, is consistent and extensive. As mentioned, the servingware is quite the treat.
I also took home a vanilla slice for my friends parents and they loved it. Creamy vanilla filling, flaky pastry. One of the better vanilla slices theyve had.
I wasnt expecting to enjoy the Drop In as much as I did, but its definitely worth a visit. In an food scene where High Tea can get feel dated, the Drop In stands out.
