Joseph's Tea Room Clearwater, FL

I came here with my girls for an early Galentine’s Day. One of my girls had to cancel last minute at 11 PM the night before. Our reservation was at 10:00 AM. We were just going to eat the cost since it was late notice. They were very kind to waive our cancellation fee and didn’t charge us for the spot. I made sure to make it up in gratuity! One of my girls is gluten free and was asked if it was okay if their food was served on the tiered tower with the other foods. The tea room is pretty big and can sit several parties. We did the Afternoon Tea Experience. We each chose a tea and got a personal pot of it to ourselves! It was more than enough. I got the white strawberry basil but I actually enjoyed my friend’s white peach more. The starter salad was refreshing. You get 1 and a half sandwich. The egg salad on croissant was super yummy and the cucumber cream cheese is a tea time classic. The scones were soft and weren’t as hard as normal scones were. It was almost like a cookie texture which I enjoyed greatly. I was stuffed and couldn’t even get to the top tier with desserts. I took most of my pasteries home. Our group was actually the loudest (sorry other guests!). Our timing was perfect because as we were leaving a birthday party arrived and of course was louder than our small group. Go early! Overall it was a fun tea time themed experience! It’s more fun to dress up. I would go again and would recommend the experience to everyone.

My husband got me the afternoon tea experience as a Christmas gift. The atmosphere is very charming and cute! It was very nicely decorated, and I LOVED that every table has different tea sets! The tea was good, my husband wanted ice tea, and we did get one glass of ice. The server said she would bring more ice and never did. She was distracted. Oh, well. The food was good! I had egg salad on croissants and the cucumber with cream cheese on white. My husband was supposed to get Ham salad, but got egg instead... servers was distracted... but oh well, we are not picky. They were both very fresh and delish. The scones were good as well. They had a very cakey like texture, but flavors were great! Loved the cinnamon scone! The desserts were nothing special, and we didn't finish any of them. Honestly, I could have gone without them. Service wasn't great, staff was distracted tending to the young child in the shop.... and that brings up my last point. It is VERY clear that children under 5 are NOT allowed (posted on the website and front entrance) If this is a policy and customer cannot bring young children in, I'm not sure why the owner would feel it was okay to have their own young children there. People pay quite a bit for this experience and don't expect to have young children be a distraction, yet they were. Said young child was crawling on the floor, under tables, and pulling down decorations. Overall, for 39 per person, would have expected better service. It's not somewhere I would go back.

Went here for my mother’s birthday, this place truly exceeded our expectations, the place was very clean and beautiful, all the employees and owners were soo kind and friendly, the atmosphere and decor was elegant, calming and inviting. They had vegan versions of almost everything and they had a very large selection of tea. The tea sets were soo adorable that my boyfriend purchased a tea pot from here and is now obsessed with it. My mom has always wanted to go to a tea party for a long time, she was so happy and impressed with our time here that it brought her happy tears definitely recommend for a classy tea party experience!

What a lovely experience that I highly recommend! Shannon was super accommodating to all my food sensitivities and allergens even offering to buy the bread from the store I could have. The gluten free vegan desserts were absolutely delicious along with the tea and sandwiches! She discussed with us what options I could have and went over ingredients. It was so thoughtful and everyone was so kind there, they even sang me happy birthday with a cupcake I could have. I highly recommend them for any occasion!

We came from Colorado to have a Bridal Shower here, and had an amazing time! The atmosphere was so beautiful and lovely, the tea was AMAZING, and the food was great. We had several members in our party that had dietary restrictions, gluten allergies, and other allergies. The owners personally made sure that everyone was able to take part in food, drinks, and deserts with no worries. We had a great experience, and are really thankful to Joseph's Tea Room for making this Bridal Shower so memorable.
