Amazing experience with this place ,far exceeded our expectations. We made reservations for the…read more11AM ( first opening) and we were happy that we did. Parking was free and ample. Directions to the restaurant were clear from the street with good signage. One may call this an upscale tea room/ brunch: indulging dessert experience; depending on how you order. We skipped our breakfast to make room for the experience and we were not disappointed. Seating and decor was British colonial setting. The food was delicious and prepared well. The desserts were decadent and the TEA service was exotic. The food ordered was pasta Florentine and (rich and creamy goodness), blackened mahi over mango salsa was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Quiche was not bad . Mediterranean platter came with humus, roasted eggplant and Tabbouleh. Eggplant was sharp in flavor. Chai was served full of flavors and spices; green ginger tea flavorful and needed time to get to full strength. Raspberry in Paris Rooibos was naturally sweet and well scented. For the desserts we ordered strawberry scones with clotted cream, Italian wedding cake, hummingbird and the chocolate ganache. They were large portions and decadent. Importantly the owner made sure to accommodate us on the menu and was quick to respond to any issues. Isabel and Carline were exceptionally gracious host. Explore the grounds and gift shop on premises and savor your experience. Godwilling your experience is like ours and better.

I really liked this place; this is the second time I've been here…read more This place is very beautiful both inside and out, and it feels like home. I ordered a piña colada tea, which was delicious, a mix of different flavors, including hibiscus. All the employees are very friendly, and our waitress was very attentive and kind. This place isn't just for women; men and children can go there too. As for the food, I have no complaints whatsoever. Everything arrived on time, hot and delicious.

DAD & GIRLS NEW ICE CREAM PLACE ADVENTURE!!!…read more Wanted some ice cream on a Sunday and most places close early. We found Asian Bowl open and we found they had more than just Ice cream!!! We stuck with Ice cream and they had Boba drinks so of course they had to try that as well. Food to Value Ratio: OK, I paid 17$ for 1 scoop on 1 cone x2 and a Boba drink. This is normal rates now, but the ice cream scoop was a bit on the small side for the price. The Ambiance was nice a bit basic in the sense of nothing really stood out as WOW. Check out the pics, some anime pics, a couple boba posters and a photo spot. The pink benches were comfortable. The ice cream was good, but pretty much like any other ice cream spot around that's not a Dairy Queen, definitely better than Dairy Queen!!! The boba tea was good and the boba was not stale as some other places around the area. Service was ok, the young man was not very engaging and his customer service smile/happiness needs improvement, but it wasn't bad, just could have been allot better!!! We would go back to try some other things they had and I will follow up with future reviews if we do so. AS ALWAYS TRY IT FOR YOURSELF!!!

Nice food, dessert, and drink options available.

Edamame is available as a good protein substitute, though it would be nice if tofu was an option. Nori (seaweed) was an option for seasoning, but I was given Bonito flakes which are made from fish instead. I don't eat fish, so I had to scrape it off when I got home. I ordered a taro milk tea with crystal boba which was delicious and had a thick, creamy texture. The food is made in a kitchen in the back, and the beverages and ice cream desserts are made behind the counter. There was only one employee working the restaurant, and she was great. There is plenty of seating inside and a big screen tv playing Dragon Ball Z.

Across from South Central Park and next to the Winter Haven Library resides Richard's Fine Coffees…read more For over 25 years Richard's Fine Coffee's has been supplying downtown Winter Haven with caffeinated beverages and food. David Tuttle opened Richard's Fine Coffee's on June 11, 1996. Upon realizing that there were no independent coffee house in Winter Haven, he wanted to bring residents and visitors a new coffee drinking experience. Richard's originally operated out of the Arcade Building before moving to the new Winter Haven Public Library when it opened its new building in 2005. In the ensuing years Richard's Fine Coffee's has become a cornerstone to the revitalization of downtown. One of the keys to Richard's longevity has been providing a place where people can meet, relax, and enjoy delicious coffee and bites. On the first Friday of every month they have a live music event. They serve a daily breakfast and lunch menu that includes hot and cold coffee drinks, breakfast sandwiches, bagels, hot and cold sandwiches, salads, soup, and pastries. I popped in for caffeinated refreshment during a recent trip to Winter Haven. I like how you can enjoy your drinks and food in their large dining room, on the patio, or across the street in beautiful South Central Park. Richard's has become more than a place where you can eat and drink. It is an important part of bringing the community together in downtown Winter Haven.

This was our second time patronizing Richard's. Today was a blustery COLD day, but I won't let that…read moreaspect interfere with my review (getting warmed up fun the hot coffee). I ordered a regular coffee with cream. The better half ordered a Latte. We also ordered a blueberry crumb cake to split. There was quite a variety of wonderful looking pastries to choose from. The crumb cake was warmed up for us and brought to our table. The coffees were ready within 5 minutes. The coffees were delicious (yes, I sampled the latte), one of the better fresh coffees I've had. The crumb cake was also delicious. Staff was friendly and the interior design relaxing. We'll be back .

This place has the best tea I've EVER had, it is second to NONE. I've tried many times to replicate…read moretheir tea, but they must have magic water, because even with Tabitha's recipe it's just not the same. Their menu changes seasonally and each seasonal special is always scrumptious. The menu staples that you must try: cheesy chicken crunch, any daily tea, smoked gouda pumpkin dip, windsors, broccoli salad, and the heavenly scones that come with Devonshire cream on the side. The scones come complimentary with your meal, but our family enjoys them so much we call ahead to warn them we're coming and order extras. It doesn't matter what flavor scone they're serving, they are all delicious; cooked perfectly, soft and crisp at the same time. I've yet to find any place with scones that can replicate or out do these, and since this place is over 1300 miles from my home, believe me I've tried. The scones here are so delicious that we even had them served at our wedding. Along with the daily tea they also offer a daily soup and daily quiche. This is one of the few places I've ever been where I've always been satisfied with whatever is coming out of the kitchen. They also offer dessert, but between appetizers, our meal and the many scones we have, there is hardly ever enough room left for dessert. Beyond the amazing food, this place gives back to their community. They participate in many of the local events, and promote the city. They host special events such as tea with the Easter Bunny, Santa Clause, and Mrs. Clause, and these events have been major memory making events in the childhoods of our family. We love any event they're hosting. When our father was going through cancer treatments and couldn't make it to join us, as he usually would, they sent us home with a goodie bag with well wishes written on it for him. They are truly good people that value the relationships they build with their customers. We as customers were just as emotional as one of the servers when they were leaving to retire, which is just one example of the bonds built here. While this is a tea room and fully supports any fancy tea attire, you can also come as you are, they're happy to see you either way. They also have many hats through out the tea room that can be worn or used while there. In addition to food, they also have a retail area and various retail items throughout the tea rooms within the building. My favorite time to shop here is Christmas time because they have the cutest aprons which are perfect for making Christmas cookies with the family. They also sell the tea that they make, pre made or just the tea itself (loose leaf or in bags), they're not gatekeeping, they want to share the goodness. If you want to enjoy the Florida weather, you can opt to dine outside on the front porch. No matter which spot you choose to take it all in, you won't be disappointed. We come home to this area nearly 3-4 times a year and we never come back without making sure we visit this tea room. My only warning is that the neighbors next door aren't cool and they won't share the obviously available parking, so make sure to pay attention to the posted parking signage when choosing your spot. We also recommend a reservation if you plan to come with a larger party since the different tea rooms can limit where you can be seated, based on availability. I hope you'll love this place as much as

Friendly, patient, and genuinely kind, she made ordering feel easy and actually fun. You can tell she cares about the customers and takes pride in what she does, and that kind of energy makes a huge difference. And the drinks? So good. Everything tasted fresh, perfectly balanced, and just hit the spot. Whether you're a boba regular or trying it for the first time, they've got something you're going to love. And the Crab Rangoon was SO GOOD!!!!! And the cost was so cheap. This was one of those places that just gets everything right: great drinks, great atmosphere, and even better people. Eli truly made the visit memorable, and I'll absolutely be back.

So, I saw online this establishment closed at 9 pm on Saturdays. We were meeting my parents here…read moresince we were "only" 1.5 away from them compared to the normal 4.5-5 hours. Despite the closing time issue the woman who was working took care of our party of 5 masterfully all things considered. You'll need to eat outside as seating inside is minimal if there's any at all. I still enjoyed the alleyway-like seating on a balmy central Florida evening. Since there was only one person working and it was so close to closing time I helped bring out the food as it was ready. Everything was very tasty and fresh. I tried the chicken salad on the croissant and the ginger turmeric chicken soup with noodles. I really enjoyed it. My husband had the tuna sandwich and a bowl of the tomato basil. I didn't try the tuna sandwich but he inhaled it. I did taste the tomato basil soup and it was amazing! My mom had a salad which was presented lovely and she cleared her plate. Both my parents had the cream of mushroom soup. My mom remarked that she thought it would be more creamy than what it was. My toddler had the margarita flatbread sans tomato and balsamic glaze and he took a few bites and said it "good." Much to my surprise. For the time we had and the circumstances, it was a lovely visit, as I really wanted to support a minority-owned establishment in the area.
