I would love a dollar for every time I visited there when I was working n the city! I was 17, ilived at Blackburn and felt that visiting the Hopetoun transported me to a different world! Later, it was a big annual treat for my two children to visit Santa Claus at Myers and then have lunch at the Hopetoun!
20 years ago I worked at Wittner shoes in the Block Arcade.. every morning we would pop into the Tea rooms before opening and have coffee with the then manager, Mary. Such a magnificent place, sad that it’s leaving the Block, but happy it’s continuing on elsewhere
I still remember your Mocha Buns slathered in butter. I used to have one every day 50 years ago. I worked at the National Bank across the road as a teenager. 😋
Oh great. I’d love to taste one again. They were a long rectangular soft bun with a sticky mocha coffee icing on top then sliced and buttered. I think with a whipped butter.

those were the days!! Going down into the kitchen all those funny little corridors underneath ! It was great! Loved Mary as well!
whenever I worked at the Block I also popped in there
remember? The good old days walking through the basement, through the kitchen and up to the ground floor! And the toasted sandwiches!!

Mocha buns? They sound delicious. I’ll have to research it. Thank you for sharing that Helen ♥️
