Viewfinder: Empress Tea Room

The Empress Tea Room at 12924 North Dale Mabry is a new Carrollwood treasure, having moved from their previous home in Temple Terrace six months ago. There are two distinct seating areas in their spacious dining area: a Victorian style dining area and an indoor patio garden style dining area. 

High Tea and lunch are served during the day, Tuesday through Friday. High Tea is only on Saturdays, and on Sundays, they offer High Tea and breakfast.

In the evenings, The Empress Tea Room hosts events, such as their Tuesday cooking class with different area chefs each week. On Thursday nights, they feature "Dancing with the Stars" which is dinner and an introduction to ballroom dancing. Friday and Saturday nights bring an element of mystery to the tea room with their Mystery Dinner Theater where you participate in the action. 

Reservations are requested.
