Joseph's Tea Room Clearwater, FL

I would give more than five stars if I could! So glad my friend recommended Joseph's tea room. Not only did they have vegan and gluten-free options, but the ambiance transports you into another world. Every little detail has been tended to at this small business, local establishment ran by a family. They also host special events (think: Bridgerton parties) so feel free to reach out whether you need an afternoon tea party getaway, or are looking for something more formal with a group. (The salad was so delicious it was gone before I remembered to take a photo... Oops!) Stop by, you won't regret it!

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!

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.
