About Room with Roses

Tucked away on the gallery level of the historic Brisbane Arcade, Room with Roses serves quintessential high tea in a nostalgic, vintage parlour setting. Crisp white table linen, fresh roses, and fine bone china set the stage for celebratory gatherings—from landmark birthdays to wedding breakfasts. Multi-tiered stands arrive stacked with crustless ribbon sandwiches, warm savouries, delicate tarts, and generous scones flanked by jam and clotted cream. Coeliac visitors especially prize the rare dedicated gluten-free scones, served alongside pots of loose-leaf tea and sparkling wine.

  • Classic Tiered Presentation: Multi-tiered stands delivered on crisp linen with fresh cut roses and fine bone china.
  • Coeliac-Friendly Scones: Dedicated gluten-free scones, ribbon sandwiches, and vegetarian sweets crafted for dietary needs.
  • Heritage Arcade Perch: Perched on the gallery level of the heritage arcade, providing a quiet vintage respite from the city.

  • Classic Three-Tier Presentation

    High tea presentations honour classic service traditions with three-tiered plate servers, crisp white table linens, and fresh roses on every table.

    Happily Room with Rose's is there and still provides the same high standard of service I remember with white crisp table linen and fresh roses on each table setting the high tea treats and sandwiches brought to the table on traditional three tier plate servers.
