About

No Reservation needed for Café Rialto, a coffee and tea bar with Parisian vibes. This is the newest addition to the historic Rialto Theatre at 1617 N. Franklin St. in Tampa Heights. Café Rialto sits alongside its sister concept, Tea at The Rialto, a reservation-only tearoom serving English Afternoon Tea, and the Rialto Theatre event space. Together these concepts are reimagining the 101-year-old building as a multifaceted destination where guests can grab a coffee, enjoy a pastry, or dress up for afternoon tea all in one visit.
