Sometimes we all just need those little home comforts, even while living it up in the Sunshine State. So, if you find yourself in Orlando craving a taste of British tradition, fear not. Though renowned for its theme parks, Orlando is also wild ride for your taste buds and offers several spots where you can enjoy an authentic English breakfast, or indulge in a spot of afternoon tea.
Whether you're looking to fuel up with a hearty fry-up or enjoy a delicate selection of sandwiches and scones, these venues bring a touch of the UK to the Sunshine State…

Sip on a wide variety of boba milk teas and gourmet coffees in a welcoming and cozy interior. And if you’re in the market for a little something to feast on, the bubble waffles will also go down a treat. Whether you’re in the mood for classic chocolate and strawberries or wanting to venture outside of the norm with their mochi base, there is something for everyone. Bubble & Co. Tea bar is a gem for tea lovers in the Sunshine State.
World Café
You know you’ve hit the jackpot when an English breakfast features on the company’s Facebook picture. International Drive’s World Café is a great spot to fuel up for a day at the parks with their tasty offerings of all the staples, like eggs, sausages, bacon, and beans. And if you want to add that extra touch of your homeland, why not opt for a warming cup of PG Tips also. This spot is very much reminiscent of an English café, except that when you leave, you’ll be greeted by glorious sunshine. What could be better?

This iconic U.S. breakfast spot will give you a taste of home with their array of tasty fried options. Tuck into their Great British Slam where you’ll be greeted with all the favourites – fried eggs, bacon, sausage, tomatoes, mushroom, beans, and a slice of toast. There are several locations throughout Orlando and it’s a smart choice if you’re after somewhere a bit more wallet friendly.

Orlando Cat Café
Missing your afternoon tea and your cat? Then Orlando Cat Café is the perfect solution. Come here for a range of delicious delicacies while being surrounded by feline friends. The first of its kind to open in Central Florida, it allows visitors to enjoy a tea or coffee and cake, as well as the antics of some of the cutest cats in town. Because it’s a popular spot, especially on weekends, it’s a good idea to book your reservation in advance if you want to ensure a spot, as the cat area has a limit to how many people can be inside at once. There is also a small entry fee to spend time with the cats, which helps support the café and the adoption process.
