Since 1892 patrons have been nibbling pinwheel sandwiches here, taking tea (with pinkies raised) and delicately polishing off a lamington. The Tea Rooms' venerable status results in almost perpetual queues, but it's more popular with tourists than Melburnians. Salivate over the window display while you wait.
