The Start

All too often we found that a visit to a local establishment meant you were expected to dine and depart. Turning tables and herding you through like cattle was their goal. We at Richard’s wanted to create an environment where time was just a distant thought. Where you could get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Drift off, if you wish, into another world.

The Café

Located in downtown Winter Haven, Florida we found an area that was in the early stages of enormous growth with beautiful parks and open space. We wanted to be a part of this. After eight years of watching the downtown grow we found we also needed to grow. We had the fortunate opportunity to enter a partnership with the city and become a part of the fabulous new public library they were building on the park.
