Here is a list of some of my favorite cafes, restaurants, wine bars, and coffee shops In Winter Haven, Florida. The downtown area has really grown in recent years. There is something for everyone. It's so nice to know I don't have to go all the way to Orlando to experience great food, cool abience or specialized customer service. I would recommend these places to anyone visiting central Florida who likes to explore off the beaten path. All of these places are independently owned. The staff takes the time to really get to know the customers. Whenever you come, you will feel at home.
