Things To Do

Honeycomb Bread Bakers

Local bakery in Downtown Winter Haven- great location to eat inside or outside or take some treats or a loaf of sourdough away.

Haven Coffee Roasters

Locally known as the best coffee in Winter Haven. As a surprise to no one, this is also located in Downtown!

Andy's igloo Drive-In Restaurant

Open since 1951, this is a great, casual spot for a burger and/ or a milkshake in central Winter Haven.

Lucille's American Cafe

An upscale casual restaurant with great food and aesthetics in Downtown Winter Haven.

Lakeside dining as you watch the boats go by. Come early to watch the sunset.

Arabellas

Grove Roots Brewing Company

Here you'll find beer and other refreshments, rotating food trucks (hint: they keep Facebook up to date with which food truck is scheduled!), plenty of yard games, and typically live music. Walking distance from Lucilles, Arabellas, or Honeycomb.

Winter Haven Farmers Market

Open from 9-3, the Farmers Market is a great stop if you find yourself in downtown Winter Haven on a Saturday morning. It typically has craft booths, flowers and plants, produce, cheeses, bread, coffee, and a handful of food trucks.

Andy Thornal Company

The Balance Culture Winter Haven

A women's fitness studio in downtown Winter Haven with no membership needed to enjoy a class. (Check the class schedule and sign up online to ensure your spot!)

Central Florida Watersports and Boat Rentals

Winter Haven is known for the Chain of Lakes and we highly recommend experiencing it. This is one of many rental companies that offers sunset cruises, boat rentals, or will drive while you ski, wakeboard, or tube.

LEGOLAND® Florida Resort

We have never been, but certainly have enjoyed their fireworks!

Bespoke Physical Therapy - Winter Haven

Nineteen61

If you find yourself in Lakeland, this is our favorite restaurant. Reservations highly recommended. Their website describes it best: "The menu is full of memorable and exquisite items that combine a modern Spanish style accompanied by a Latin American twist including a Southern propensity."

Born & Bread Bakehouse

If you're in Lakeland when Born and Bread is open (Wednesday and Saturday mornings), this is pretty much a required stop. Whether you order ahead online or wing it and just show up, plan to wait for at least a few minutes, but it will be well worth it!

Circle B Bar Reserve

A beautiful (and free!) place for a lakeside walk where you are likely to see alligators. This is either a selling point, or a warning:)

Bonnet Springs Park

A quick drive to Lakeland is worth it to explore this (free!) complete with raised walkways through the trees, lakeside lookouts, a butterfly garden, and much more.

Scout & Tag

If you're going to Lakeland, why not walk through Cassie's favorite shop: Scout and Tag. Cute t-shirts, housewares, and local swag.

Adams Estate

Just worth mentioning our wedding venue... since if you're on the website for long enough to read this, you're likely going here :)

Calogero's Pizzeria

If you're staying in Lake Alfred or Davenport, or jus like wood fired pizza, this is our top recommendation. Hint: Hot Honey Pizza.

Lavender 'n Lace Tearoom

Super cute tea room- reservations are highly recommended!

The Barn Antiques

Really cool antiques sourced from England every summer. Open Thursday to Saturday 10-4 with back deck picnic basket lunches available.

Bok Tower Gardens

Tranquil gardens with a "singing" tower. There is a gift shop and restaurant on site, but a few food recommendations in Lake Wales are "The Ranch" for soup/ salad/ sandwich based meals, or "Crazy Fish" for... you guessed it... seafood.
