I had a great experience at afternoon tea. The salad was very good. I ordered the blackberry jasmine green tea. It was a lot of tea. Everyone in my party was able to have a cup of my kettle of tea. I drank multiple cups. I enjoyed the sandwiches. I also bought tea leaves to make at home. It was a great experience. The owners are very attentive and made you feel at home. read more

I have been going to Joseph's Tea Room now for about 2 years. It is a GREAT place to meet up with friends and enjoy excellent tea and phenomenal baked goods. The decor is so cute and keeps getting better. Shannon is a great host and the staff is attentive without being annoying. I always leave with at least one bag of their loose leaf tea to enjoy until my next visit. read more

Hidden gem! So glad we had a chance to try this place. The location was nicely organized and the decor was charming. The tea and food were good. Having the owner greet us made us feel at home. I'd go again. read more

The food was delicious at Joseph's tea house ! I went for tea and lunch with my sister. The atmosphere is very relaxing and the staff was very professional and helpful. I purchased the Purple Papayaberry Iced Tea and made it when I got back to NJ. I absolutely Love it!! I just purchased 2 more bags plus some other iced teas bag. Next time I'm in Clearwater, I'll be back read more

This is Avery well appointed establishment, it's the perfect place to experience High Tea. The food and service is excellent. The staff is attentive and engaging, they want you to have a wonderful experience. The list of teas cover every flavor profile imaginable:black, green, whirlpool, and herbal. You are in for a treat! read more

Came to the tea room for a bridal shower party. Overall the experience was ok but it took over an hour for us to get any food. They brought the teapots long before the food, then a very small blueberries, strawberries and greens salad. They then brought out the tiered trays with sandwiches, pastries and sweets. I was so excited to try the cucumber sandwich but the cream cheese was plain and there was nothing to give it any zest or flavor; they were a disappointment. They also served chicken, egg an tuna salad sandwiches on croissant. I only tried the egg sandwich, it was ok, very filling. The scones as expected were a bit on the dryer side but the blueberry scone was actually good, the chocolate one was too dry for me and the rest of the sweets were just as underwhelming read more

I popped by to do a little work before a doctor appointment. The Josephs were kind and welcoming. They worked well with each other and were attentive to me and the rest of the guests. I was shocked that just the two of them were serving, cooking, and even helping retail walk-in customers. There had to be at least 20 people there on a Thursday at 10AM and the quality and service never fluctuated. I am a huge tea house fan and am always on the lookout for them when I travel. The fact that this is 30 minutes from my home may make me a regular! I can't wait to go back. read more

I took my mom here who was visiting from out of town from CT and had high hopes - truly I was very let down sadly. We went this past ***Friday May 26th *** and had a reservation at 12:30. It was very much an Instagram vs. reality moment. I highly respect the fact that it's a local business but there are sooooo many things that need to improve here. First of all, the location is awful. I know they can't help it but it's in a janky strip mall with a ton of construction around. The food was not good. My mom and I did the afternoon tea experience - I really don't like bashing places but I thought the appetizer salad was gross. The dressing was a sweet thick berry vinaigrette and it was just poured over dry leaves of lettuce. Just gross. My hummus sandwich was OK and then I also got a nut butter and banana sandwich- just not impressive at all. The tea was fine. I got the Mango Green tea. But it's also hard to mess up hot water and tea bags. The bathrooms are gross - floors so dirty and need major cleaning. The overall decor was just tacky. I know they are trying to go for a "Tea Room" experience but it wasn't classy it was tacky and cheap looking. The service was not good either. I had to ask our waitress for waters. For almost $80 with tip- I should have just taken my mom to Caffeine Roasters on Kennedy or Hotel Haya in Ybor which has a coffee shop. I was extremely disappointed with this place and will absolutely not be returning. I wish I could request a refund for this. read more

I had the most wonderful time! (And I went alone!) The place is absolutely charming, and puts a big smile on your face. The tea cakes scones (served with jam and cream) were heaven...I'm a classic scone guy...just plain with coffee please...and the combo of a simple scone with fresh cream is just the best. I was not disappointed! It was so good I stayed for lunch and had the chicken salad on a delicious croissant! I got an iced orange tea and it was complex and very refreshing. Excellent! The server was this sweet young lady who was kind and thoughtful and lit up the room. I also met the owner and she is good people. Go and bring your family to enjoy this wonderful place. You'll be glad you did. It's a great meal and a great experience. read more

The food was all good so don't get me wrong. I guess I was expecting a British afternoon tea with scones, not half a toasted scone. I have never had croissants made with a variety of egg, ham salad. It was ok. I felt even with the little cakes $36 each was high. We purchased a tea from them which my husband enjoyed but it was $15 for 2oz. They are expanding into next door so good luck to them. We were the only people in there. read more

The owner and his wife are fantastic great tees highly recommend this place. Good place good people. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Very cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A young couple own and run it. Great staff. One young lady in general is my favorite. Sarah. The food is a light fare, but good. read more

We just came back from our experience at the tea room. It was absolutely lovely! The food was amazing and very filling. They also have Gf and vegan selections and foods for allergies. Fantastic!! The service was terrific. Staff very friendly and helpful knowledgeable about allergies and what you couldn't eat. Booked on line very easy. The owners very friendly and came to the table to see that everyone was good. The beautiful table settings were stunning and lovely teapots. We will definitely will go again!!! read more

If you are gluten free or celiac, you can enjoy a nice meal here. They not only have a lot of gluten free options, but also prepare carefully including a separate toaster for bread. The owner shared that she is allergic and takes gluten free seriously. My favorite is the egg and cheese sandwich, and the afternoon tea was delicious as well. The desserts are fantastic! Such a cute place and the team and owner make you feel welcome! read more

Delicious tea and yummy zero calorie pastries! The staff is awesome, I enjoy pretending I'm royalty while I enjoy my high tea. They have a lot of blends, go every day until you have tried them all. It's tucked towards the back of a strip mall that's being fixed up. read more

I received two bags of tea sachets as a gift.......I have purchased tea from China, UK, Africa, Harney and Sons, etc. I know tea. I do not mean to sound arrogant but the bag of flavored Raspberry Green Tea has an artifical, rancid taste and there is very little green tea in the tea sachets. I have no interest in even trying the Blood Orange Rooibos tea, the flavor of the Raspberry Green Tea is so bad. First impressions........not good. Lastly, tea flavor will improve with age if stored correctly in a dry, air tight, light proof container - these tea bags are in a clear plastic front plastic bag, the tea is exposed to light, not good for the tea flavor. BEWARE !!! read more

I had hoped to enjoy an adult tea party and was instead met with less then stellar service, low quality baked goods and a server who has not been properly trained. Her personality was that of a napkin. she put her hands all over the tea pot and glasses while serving. Made no suggestions and simply seemed like she hated her job. I just wish it was not me who had to experience the lack luster afternoon tea I was hoping for. It is more like a hair salon meets a run down diner. Décor is really tacky. The one good thing is there is a bunch of tea to choose from thank goodness or it would have been a complete loss. The price was high for the quality. I have been to many tea rooms and received exceptional service. I am happy to pay for what I receive just not happy to pay for what seemed like Publix leftovers. read more

My husband and I drove 20 minutes only to be turned away because we had our 4 lbs Russian Toy in his carrier bag. We were just going to get tea to go and not actually sit in the completely EMPTY store but we didn't even have the opportunity to walk through the door and the lady was like no dogs allowed inside. This place looks as cute as it does in the professionally taken pictures but it's in the middle of nowhere, basically in an empty, decrepit parking lot and the worst part it's right underneath a telecommunications tower that's probably affecting the quality of their tea from the radiation. The real estate was as cheap as their front entry way with all their random touristy tchotchkes from NY and in general. Even though we were spared from trying their tea, if their front customer service is bad and rude as this I wouldn't recommend this place or come back to give it a second try. EDIT: The owner has now gone out of her way to continue being rude to both my husband and myself instead of even trying to diffuse the situation. If you read her replies for any review under 5 stars it really shows her true colours! I am so glad we did not spend a penny at this establishment. First we are in town for three days for work and like most hotels, especially high end ones, you are not allowed to leave your pet unattended in your room. Second we went on the website and did not see anywhere clearly posted that pets are not allowed inside the establishment and since we were popping in and out like we would at a Starbucks for a quick order it did not cross our mind that we had to call to confirm if our 4 lbs pet inside his carrier would be allowed inside for under 10 minutes! Third your hostess could have said: "Hey/Hi/Hello I see you've got your pet with you today and I know it's hot outside in your car but as much as I would like to help you today we do not allow pets in this (COMPLETELY EMPTY) establishment". I told her we drove 20 minutes to get there and she didn't seem to even care to offer an alternative solution or ask if we walked in because wanted to sit or simply get something to go. My husband and I could have easily taken turns ordering if there was enough kindness and consideration in the approach of the whole situation. So your business beyond deserves a 1 star review. Bullying people by diminishing their feelings and reviews shows your absolute lack of empathy, business integrity and complete lack of professionalism. read more

I loved that this tea room had gluten and dairy free options! They were so kind and helpful.

Joseph's Tea Room is awesome! I really don't write a review everywhere I go but I like to give credit where credit is due that being said let me get into this review. First of all the place looks super clean inside, the decor is well thought of, the walls and chairs have nice bright colors, the chairs are suede which are soft super comfortable, the tea pots and silverware are very nice as well. The food is definitely made with good quality ingredients and cooked with love/care. I always eat 2-3 sandwiches when I go plus some of their delicious tea, which by the way they have a large assortment of. The owner is very nice and knows how to run a business properly I can tell I always have an eye out for assessing businesses since I have my own business. I'm glad they are expanding the place did need a bit more space but now that small issue is solved. Ladies and gents try the ham salad croissant and egg salad croissant it is amazing they should give Cindy a trophy best ham salad I think I have ever tasted to be honest. The macaroons are delicious they are nice and soft and not too sweet especially the coffee and pistachios one. The only thing I don't like and it's not their fault is the parking lot. I came in a brand new Corvette and had to drive back home since the car is low had to get my Mercedes suv to make it through the bumps. This place is awesome and everyone should go and try it I promise it won't disappoint! . Also I really like how it's a family operated business they really put that extra touch and care into everything. I love to support great local places. read more

Great fun. Really enjoyed it. Food was great. Service was good. Great birthday celebrations

Joseph's is a real Tea Room gem. So much more than a Tea Room for special events, it is a delicious option for a lunch with friends, a small lunch by yourself at the counter, just dessert and tea, and of course a full Afternoon Tea Experience. TIP: the Lemon Berry Cream Mascarpone Cake is worth a visit just by itself, enough to share. A wide variety of teas to purchase anytime. Bright and welcoming decor, with a quiet atmosphere. Joseph's is tucked away on US 19 (west side, driving south) with easy access from the Frontage Road with plenty of parking. We called ahead the same day for a reservation for 4 with our first time just ordering from the menu to give the Tea Room a try. We are definitely returning. The smiling and gregarious staff helped us choose sandwiches, desserts and teas. Guerby Joseph was greeting guests and he spent time with us explaining how he and his wife Shannon made the Tea Room their dream. He provided tips on the Teas he most enjoys and how to select a tea to complement your meal. The Tea Room serves numerous teas organized by caffeine to non caffeine. What a delightful day. We particularly enjoyed ham and chicken salad on croissants, cucumber and cream cheese on croissants, and the apple cinnamon scones with Devonshire Cream. Quality of food excellent and portions very ample. Definitely recommend enjoying Joseph's Tea Room. read more

If you're looking for a fun "high tea" experience, Joseph's Tea Room is for you. The tea selection is remarkable, the apple crunch scone was to die for and I loved the cucumber sandwiches. I wish the desserts had been made on site. Pretty sure the eclairs and macaroons were bought at Sams. Regardless they were good. My only negative thought for the experience was the paper napkins. For the cost and the total overall ambience, there should have been cloth napkins. Maybe they were doing paper napkins post covid??? Would I go there for tea again? DEFINITELY!! read more

I only wish I had time to stay longer with my friend. Top to bottom our visit was excellent. Excellent service, scones and tea! I have to wait until my next visit to this area to enjoy more of what Joseph's Tea has to offer. I'm looking forward to that! read more
