The Road To Cobo

Cobo Tea Rooms are quite modest. A double fronted house which looks out over Cobo Bay. It has an outside area with plastic picnic table and chairs, however it is quite exposed and we have never found it warm enough to sit outside in comfort.
Inside décor is 80’s breakfast style, with a variety of tables in the 2 front rooms. Favourite tables are in the two bay windows (though this can be hot in the summer). Ordering at the counter gives the opportunity to look at the range of Goodies for sale. Most eye catching are the large cream filled meringues. However, the scones are overlooked at your peril. They are large fruit scones which are served with a variety of jams and thick whipped cream.
The counter service is cheerful, though not speedy. As there is no table service you must wait at the counter for all your purchases, which can be a bit tedious, interrupting the flow of conversation.
