We've got the golden ticket and you're invited.
Not every afternoon holds the promise of pure imagination. This one does. Tea at the Chocolate Factory is Jekyll's most fantastical high tea yet, a fully immersive afternoon experience inspired by the one and only Willy Wonka, where the menu is as theatrical as the décor, and every detail has been dreamed up with the same spirit of wonder and mischief found inside the most famous factory in the world.
Golden Ticket Alert
Hidden somewhere among the sweets is a Golden Ticket and the guest who finds it wins a very special prize. We're not telling you what it is. That's the magic.
About the Experience
From the moment you're seated, the factory comes to life around you. The tablescapes are set with imagination. The teas are chosen to delight. And the food, crafted fresh by Jekyll's in-house pastry kitchen, arrives in a spectacular, tiered arrangement that looks as extraordinary as it tastes.
This isn't just a themed novelty. It's a two-hour experience built to genuinely transport you, where the savory, the sweet and the spectacular coexist on the same table and every course feels like it was invented by someone with both a culinary degree and a creative vision.
A Menu Full of Imagination
The Willy Wonka High Tea experience menu is built around the spirit of indulgence. Expect an exquisitely curated spread of handcrafted savories, delicate finger sandwiches with inspired fillings and show-stopping sweets with each selection
a nod to the magic and mischief of the world's most famous confectionery. Accompanied by a selection of curated loose-leaf teas chosen to complement every course, the full service unfolds beautifully from first bite to last.
Everything on the table is prepared the day of the event by Jekyll's pastry kitchen. Nothing here is pre-packaged, ordinary, or predictable. That is very much the point.
An Atmosphere Like Nowhere Else in Tampa
Jekyll has always been a space that takes hospitality seriously and fun even more seriously. High Tea at the Chocolate Factory brings both in full force. The décor channels the fantastical world of Wonka himself, theatrical, lush, colorful and rich with the kind of detail that makes every corner worth exploring. Whether you arrive dressed in your most whimsical ensemble or decide that a top hat is entirely appropriate (it absolutely is), you'll find a room designed to be experienced, photographed and remembered.
Wonka-worthy, whimsical, and colorful attire is warmly encouraged. Cosplay is welcome. Come as dressed-up or dressed-down as feels right. Just bring your sense of wonder.
