Our story
A taste of elegance, inspired by 1890.
Created with one simple vision: to bring people together over a cup of tea, something delicious, and a moment of pause in the heart of downtown Ocala.
A slower rhythm
Community, conversation, and connection.
Our name reflects the charm of a bygone era, when conversation and connection were treasured. Today, we carry that spirit forward.
Thoughtfully prepared small plates, freshly baked desserts, curated charcuterie, and an extensive drink menu make 1890 a place for a light lunch, an afternoon pot, or a celebration.
Whether you are hosting friends or taking a quiet break, elegance, comfort, and flavor come together without feeling formal.
Rooted in history
A landmark setting with a fresh chapter.
1890 Tea House is located inside the Diamond Suites Downtown Ocala, surrounded by history and character. Timeless architecture frames a modern interpretation of traditional tea service, while the outdoor patio feels like a small garden retreat.
For gatherings big and small.
Private Tea Rooms and outdoor spaces welcome bridal showers, birthdays, book clubs, business gatherings, and the everyday pleasure of meeting a friend.
The experience pairs tea-house tradition with Ocala flavor: gourmet but approachable plates, boards, pastries, and gracious hospitality.
