Somewhere along the Tasman Highway in the countryside on the Launceston side of Springfield, is the Springfield Tea Room. As I drive up the driveway, I don’t realise it at first, initially thinking that the ladies in the tea room are in costume, but this is the real deal, a true blue working Amish farm. My partner is instantly uncomfortable and I have to coax him out of the car. The tea room is too warm today as there’s no ventilation and a skylight adds to the warmth, which I suspect are the perfect conditions for chilly Tasmanian days. Luckily there are a few tables of people, creating a more welcoming atmosphere, as I feel awkward with the subdued Amish waitress sitting in the corner with her calculator. The room is set up for sewing classes with reams of fabric and sewing bits ‘n’ bobs lining the walls. There is also homemade stone ground bread, cakes, and jams and jellies for sale. This DT is probably the bargain of the century; a measly $5 buys two scones, a grand choice of homemade jams, thickly whipped cream and a range of loose-leaf teas that tops most cafes I’ve been to. The scones are served at room temperature and although not light and fluffy, tastes fresh enough. It’s a hard choice; the jams and jellies are all too good. I decide to try something different and go for the crab apple jelly, which is light and subtle. Open Monday to Saturday.

We went there today, what a lovely lady in the tea rooms. It took some finding but the address is 1139 Ten Mile Track, Springfield Tasmania.
Hi Emmie,
Thanks for the update on the address! Brilliant. It’s a lovely place and I am currently making my way through the boysenberry jam I bought there.
Cheers,

When I visit my daughter at Bridport we generally end up here. It is a real homely place and their is a wonder of things like soaps, teas, oils, material, home baked goods to look through while you are waiting for your cuppa and scones or their vegetarian pies and pasties are to die for, It dosent disappoint for it is the best. Love it. As you walk in you kcan see the goats in their stalls with their kids.
Cheers

Hi Allen,
Thanks for your email, but this is a review of the cafe’s scones, not a website for the business.
I’m not sure where you would get any contact information for Springfield Tea Rooms, as I have listed all the information I could find.
Sorry I can’t be of further assistance.
Cheers,
Toni

Hi Allen,
As I mentioned in the above email. I am not Springfield Tea Rooms, and do not have any further information than any of us can find. They probably just don’t have a phone number.
Cheers,
Toni
Hi Allen, Everytime I visit my daughter we end up going there. It is the best. Their goats have just had young and the children are able to see them and pat the adults. They do have a brochure printed and I shall see if I can find out the phone no for you
Cheers

Going to become a regular.
Try the savory scones.
Sounds good! I’ll drop by on my next visit to Tassie!
We enjoyed a trip to here to Springfield to the Tea Rooms last weekend. Our bus load of people all enjoyed the scones, jam and cream! A great little place!!
Hi Louisa,
That’s great! I must get back there to pick up some goodies!
Cheers,
Toni
