Afternoon Tea is perfection at The Breakers in Palm Beach, Florida and is offered Monday through Saturday from 3:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. - in season - December through mid-April.
The beautiful Tapestry Bar, framed by 15th century tapestries and antique mirrors, sets an elegant, relaxing atmosphere in which to enjoy your afternoon tea service. A fine selection of loose leaf teas are offered, brewed to perfection, and served/poured for each guest. The clear glass teapots arrive along with individual glass warmers beneath each pot to keep your tea warm. Staff are attentive to your needs and at the ready to refill your teacup.
With such fine, high class service, afternoon tea is surprisingly affordable at The Breakers.

Menu options include: The Breakers Tea - Freshly prepared tea sandwiches, buttermilk scones served with devonshire cream and preserves, delicate pastries, and a glass of champagne, all for $45. Classic Afternoon Tea - same as above, without champagne, $35.
In all the years I have been enjoying afternoon tea, The Breakers is among - if not, actually - the best yet. The variety of sandwiches and pastries will vary, but you will not be disappointed by the expertly created culinary masterpieces so pleasing to the eye and delightful to the palate. On the day of my tea, I experienced the following tea sandwiches: Smoked Salmon with quail egg garnish, Mini Maine Lobster Roll on brioche with pepper curls, Sliced Egg and Caviar with crème fraiche, Watercress and Boursin Cheese bundles tied with chives, Cucumber and Roasted Red Pepper Aioli, Caramelized Pear Pita with candied walnuts and whipped cream cheese, Raisin Walnut Loaf with fresh berry mousse and queso fresco.
Perfect, freshly baked scones are served warm with strawberry and rose water jams, orange marmalade, and Devonshire cream. Assorted Pastries may include: chocolate truffles, chocolate covered strawberries hand rolled in hazelnuts, French-style macaroons, pecan cookies, chocolate raspberry layered cakes, fresh fruit tartlets, cinnamon apple swirled frangipane cakes, mini key lime pie tarts.
