Tony’s Off Third

Tony’s Off Third combines a wine shop, a bakery, and a coffee bar in a single storefront on Third Street South, and has operated as a family owned business in Old Naples since 1995, making it one of the longer-standing independent businesses in the neighborhood. The business sits at the same address as Ridgway Bar & Grill, part of a small complex run by the Honeycutt family, who also own Bayside Seafood Grill & Bar on Naples Bay.

The shop functions differently from most other listings along Third Street South in that it is not primarily a sit-down restaurant. Guests can browse a curated wine selection, pick up fresh baked goods and pastries from the on-site bakery, or grab a coffee from the coffee bar, making it as much a specialty grocery stop as a place to eat. That format gives Third Street South a daytime retail anchor distinct from the dinner-focused restaurants that surround it.

Hours run seven days a week, opening at 7 AM daily and closing at 7 PM Monday through Thursday and Sunday, with slightly extended hours until 8 PM on Friday and Saturday. That early opening makes Tony’s Off Third one of the first businesses open in the Third Street South district each morning, well ahead of the restaurants nearby that do not open their doors until late morning or afternoon.

Three decades of continuous operation under the same family in one of downtown Naples’ most expensive commercial districts is a meaningful marker of independence in a neighborhood where rising rents have pushed out plenty of smaller operators over the years. The business’s connection to Ridgway Bar & Grill and Bayside Seafood Grill & Bar also illustrates a pattern common among Naples’ most established restaurant families: rather than expanding outside the city, the Honeycutts have built a small, tightly clustered group of businesses entirely within Naples proper.

Located within the incorporated City of Naples on Third Street South, Tony’s Off Third sits a short walk from Sea Salt, Barbatella, and Jane’s Cafe on 3rd, contributing to the corridor’s identity as a walkable historic district distinct from 5th Avenue South. For visitors picking up a bottle of wine, a coffee, or fresh pastries while exploring Old Naples, Tony’s Off Third offers a straightforward, long-established stop with a level of local history that few businesses in the surrounding blocks can match.

The shop’s early opening hour also makes it a practical stop for anyone staying in Old Naples who wants coffee and a pastry before the rest of the neighborhood’s restaurants have opened their doors, a role that complements rather than competes with the dinner-focused kitchens that surround it on Third Street South.
