Moorland Tearooms

You may have seen the sign as you zoom up or down the Pacific Highway near Taree on the mid north coast, NewSouth Wales

"Best scones on the coast"!

Bold claim indeed!!

But I bet you have never stopped.
One day we did stop, actually we had been exploring Middle Brother Mountian which is nearby and we rolled on down the hill into Moreland.
The cafe is actually very close to the highway, only about 200 metres, so there is really no excuse for not stopping.

We had one of their special home made pies as well as scones for lunch.
The pie was a rather strange affair made in an electric pie maker with a square of puff pastry. Nice enough.
There was also a choice of scones - plain, date...
With proper jam and cream in dishes not those little plastic square thingys.
They were excellent.

And it is a very quirky place.
So next time you are zooming along....slow down, turn off and try the best scones on the coast.
