Wisteria Tea Room & Cafe

My wife and I had a wonderful time again the “Wisteria Tea Room and Cafe”. Every time we visit is outstanding. The staff are excellent. The service excellent. When you have a passion for something, you pour your heart into it. That is exactly what owners Bobbie and Phil have done. My wife and I have visited many tea rooms during our travels, and Wisteria is tops. The menu selection is excellent. I love the more hardy selections that accommodate the more robust eaters like myself...”Phil’s idea”. The tea selections is beyond compare. My wife’s favorite...”The Royal Tea”. Also the, Raspberry-Jalapeno jam from the gift shop is awesome on a turkey panini or even a peanut butter sandwich. I know it sounds weird, but it is really good.
To all the guys out there. Give your sweetheart a real ... (more)treat and take her to the “Wisteria Tea Room and Cafe”. After all, she follows you to the sports bars and chicken wing places all the time. Ladies, feel free to show this post to the man in your life.

Best afternoon tea I've ever had. From Boston and I wish Wisteria Tea Room was there. The ladies at Wisteria were very friendly. The food and service was superb. Every bite was delicious. I am already craving for more cinnamon chocolate chip scones :)

I have been to Wistera Tea Room & Cafe on several occasions; and I am sure I will return several more times. Staff very friendly and informative. Scones - delicious! Each time I try a new tea and food entry. - Janet - 4-16-2013

We have been to many tea rooms, and this one if the best. I am aoways telling everyone to go there, the food is great and the people are so caring, loving and full of joy. See you there.

Enough wonderful things cannot be said about The Wisteria Tea Room in Fort Myers, FL! The friendly staff and excellent service are beyond comparison. I took a friend to the tea room for lunch and her family is from Wales. As a young girl, she was accustomed to having tea and scones daily. She has been to tea rooms all around the U.S. also. She said The Wisteria Tea Room was the finest she had been to! The food was so good, the variety of tea was excellent, and the service and ambience was so refreshing. It is a wonderful place for a girl's day out. And, if you are just having high tea, you will never leave there hungry! The assortment of menu items will satisfy anyone. I just can't say enough about this tea room, their staff and this food. Oh, and the gift shop has such unique gifts and cards. I tell everyone that visits here about it or take them myself. I am so thankful to have found this jewel in my hometown of Fort Myers.

I found this shop in a Google search. It was Easter weekend and they were very busy nevertheless my friend and I were seated within 15 minutes, enjoying a pot of Assam tea. We chose the Royal tea, a excellent assortment of the shops cullinary talents. Portions are ample, the various menu items offer something for everyone. The gift shop is filled with unique gifts and tea things. This is a must stop when visiting Fort Myers

This was my second time dining at the Wisteria Tea Room, and it was for a special event..my bridal shower! What a wonderful place for a shower, the location is beautiful, and Bobbie, the owner and her staff go above and beyond with the food, teas, and service. It was a very special day, and my guests thoroughly enjoyed it. I would have appreciated being able to have more than just two hours to mingle with our 25 guests, I think one more would have been perfect! I look forward to returning for years to come, and cherishing the memory of our special afternoon!

Our first visit today, March 2013, and it was amazing! Would highly recommend. Service was outstanding and the tea & food selections were delectable! We are now planning on having a baby shower in May here!!

My first visit was in November 2012 and since then, I have dined here many times. The food is exceptional and the service is outstanding. I have brought several different friends and they all loved it. I look forward to coming here each and every time.

On Thursday, March 21st, 2013, I brought four friends to the Wisteria Tea Room and Cafe for tea and lunch. I can't begin to tell you how much fun we ALL had! Darlene was so wonderful to us, making some suggestions and bringing us wonderful teas! Our lunches were varied, and so very delicious. We had a late tea time, and when we were finished, Bobbie joined us for a few minutes to hear our wonderful praises of lunch AND teas!! Four of us will leave Florida soon to head back up North. We WILL make reservations at Wisteria again next January, the first day that the five of us are all available again. We are thrilled that such a wonderfu place is available to people here in Ft. Myers. I will spread the word to my other friends who come South for the winter months. Keep up the good work! It is all worth it!!!! Carol Adams

I just returned from having the Afternoon Tea and had to give them the props they deserved. This charming old florida bungalow has been transformed into a tea house and café that serves not only High Tea but soups, salads and sandwiches. Everyone who works here is very nice and extremely helpful. You never feel rushed and they go that extra mile to make sure your visit as pleasant as possible. I recommend this place to anyone wanting a relaxing meal in a quaint and spotlessly clean atmosphere. I'm so happy I live down here and will add this to my favorites not only for myself but to bring visitors to.

My friend had never experienced an afternoon tea before and I told her I couldn't promise her what I usually have in London but she'd still be happy. I was wrong. Wisteria is an incredible find and rivals some of the best tearoom experiences I've had in London and elsewhere. Everything was wonderful. I only wish I was a local or I'd be there all the time.

Oh my!! This tea room is one of the best I have ever visited! That says a lot considering that I have had high tea experiences at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando and New York City; the Willard-Intercontinental in DC (my favorite); and other incredible tea rooms throughout Florida and the United States. Upon entering the Wisteria Tea Room my family and I were greeted with the warmest hospitality. Bobby was beyond gracious and welcoming! Our server was Darlene who went out of her way to make us comfortable and looked after. I have never been in a tea room where a pot of tea costs $2.95 and is endless! As many teas and flavors as one chooses to have is available upon request. The lunch was delightful and the scones were the best I have ever had in any restaurant!! My second favorite place for sco... (more)nes was in DC at a fancy hotel. Hopefully, I am not a tea snob, I just love the experience and delight of sitting down and having fellowship over a cup of tea. The Wisteria Tea Room now ranks in my top favorites and I can say with all sincerity that this tea room overflows with the gift of hospitality and grace! Thank you Bobby and Darlene!! I will be back!

Don't miss out on this amazing cafe. The food was delicious, and I can't wait to go back. I loved the options available, they went well with the food I was having. Stop by for a great experience.

What a wonderful experience! From the friendliest staff, to the superb quality of tea and food, you just can't go wrong to enjoy lunch at this tea room. I will be back.

Great service! Excellent food! And wonderful attention to detail! Made our friends bridal shower special and unique! We will definitely be back!

My daughter's wedding attendants and myself hosted her bridal shower on 9/28/12 at The Wisteria. I have been for lunch before so knew the wonderful experience I was in for. However, my daughter requested a 'tea luncheon' for her shower so didn't really know what to expect. She told me it was the most beautiful venue and so-o-o surpassed her expectations, she could not have been happier. It fulfilled the dreams of a bride to be! I live in downtown Ft. Myers and feel especially lucky that I can both enjoy and support a local business often. It's refreshing to have a lovely tea room owned and operated by a loving family. The Afternoon Tea, 3-tiered yummies both savory and sweet, was perfect for the occasion, the tea was endlessly perfect, and all 20 of the '30-something' guests were ex... (more)periencing a rare taste of years gone by. How impressed everyone was! Bobbie, Darleen and Elizabeth, thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my daughter's dream come true! I told you yesterday on a score of 1-10, I give you 15!

I have a special attachment to the Wisteria. My husband and I purchased that house when we were first married. I went in last week and was truly in awe of how lovely it is. Bobbie is an exceptional host and Darleen attended to our every need with a smile. We feasted on the Royal Tea. Food is amazing. So looking forward to hosting my daughter's bridal shower there! Thank you Bobbie for the warm welcome.

Charming, delightful, delicious!
I recently chose the Tea Room to host my daughter's bridal shower. Bobbie and her amazing staff were warm and welcoming to our guests and made this special occasion so very memorable. We were comfortably accommodated in the delightful atmosphere of the Tea Room, from the gleaming hard wood floors to the elegantly dressed tables. All the ladies enjoyed a plethora of savory teas, not only can you sample as many teas as you would like but the pots are bottomless as well. The Afternoon Tea trays offered a delectable variety of homemade, melt in your mouth delicacies, the scones and Devonshire cream are outstanding! My family and friends will surely be returning often to enjoy Bobbie's gracious Southern hospitality!

I was recently vacationing down in Ft. Myers and had a relative take me to the tea room…..what a true delight it was! I enjoyed it so much that I went back another time while on vacation because I could not get enough! The atmosphere is relaxing, cozy and welcoming while the tea and food really add to the overall experience. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and enjoyable to interact with. I would highly recommend anyone who wants to enjoy great tea, a pleasant atmosphere and wonderful service to check out this tea room! It’s the best I have ever been too!

Lovely inside but do beware it's not your average tearoom and has alacarte pricing ( ouch)

A charming jewel in downtown Ft Myers. Wonderful selection of teas and food served by a friendly staff in a delightful atmosphere of lace and natural light. Loved my meatloaf dish. Loved the chickpea salad. The desserts alone are worth the trip across state

I have visited a number of Tea Rooms in Fl and was delightfully surprised by this one. The ambiance, the decor. the food, the teas (Spiced Mexican Chocolate & Vanilla Chai) were wonderful. If I hadn't eaten so much I could have tasted more teas because there is such a wide selection. This is all topped off by the gracious owners and staff that make you feel like family. I can't wait to go back.

What a treasure. Not just for the food, which was awesome both in taste and presentation, but for the wonderful atmosphere. From the minute you walk in the door you are being treated as though you are a treasured guest instead of just a paying customer. Keep up the good work. I drove from St. Petersburg to meet some friends from Ft. Lauderdale. Will definately do it again. Already to planning to take more friends.

Not enough words to describe how wonderful the Wisteria Tea room is. Had a girlfriends lunch there it was 4 of us, we ordered off of the lunch menu it was all wonderful. We meet Bobbie (the owner) we felt as though we were in her home the food was awesome. Each one of us order something different so we could all sample. It truly was great highly recomend and i have been to many other tea houses. We are already planning our next get together

Delightful in every aspect... from the tea, the food, the atmosphere, the owners, management, and service! Every sip and bite was savored! We had a delicious afternoon tea service followed by sparkling iced tea to go! What a lovely, unique way to spend an afternoon!
