Afternoon Tea Guide for Southwest Florida

High Tea Rooms in SWFL

Wisteria Tea Room, Fort Myers

A charming tea room in downtown Ft. Myers housed in a 1919 bungalow offers afternoon tea from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily except Sundays. Reservations are highly recommended, especially during season (Jan-April). What I really enjoyed is the tea selection and the fact that it's bottomless tea, so that you can try different flavors and not stick with just one tea choice. 2512 Second St, Fort Myers, FL 33901 wisteriatearoom.com

Brambles Tea Room, Naples

Named after a teddy bear, this English Tea Room and Gift Shop on 5th Avenue South in Downtown Naples was established in 1995 and has become an enduring local tradition. This hidden gem is tucked down a landscaped passageway called “Rue de Fleur” with a Lion water fountain, flowered window boxes and beautiful ornamental garden accents between Fidelity Investments and English Traditions. Their afternoon tea is served daily Monday through Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Reservations are not required, but during the months of January through March, it is highly suggested to make one just in case. 340 5th Ave S, Naples, FL 34102 bramblestearoomnaples.com
