    Delightful! My best friend and I love tea and are always looking for new experiences. She surprised me with an afternoon tea for my birthday. We absolutely LOVED our experience at Joseph’s Tea Room. Elegant, cozy, and immersive - the aesthetic is incredibly charming. I felt like I was back in England during High Tea. We dressed up for the part with pretty dresses and big hats. We were pleasantly surprised to find they sold dainty lace gloves. Of course we bought them. You will find a lot of patrons come dressed up for the occasion. There were casual guests as well. I can not express how amazing everything was from beginning to end. There was a large variety of delicious teas to choose from that is served in your own personal teapot! Along with the teas you are presented with fresh sandwiches (vegan options available) and a bounty of scones, macaroons, and more. We enjoyed the deluxe package with flowing champagne and gold dusted chocolate covered strawberries. A great deal! Not only was the food delicious. I was particularly impressed with how attentive, personable, and generous the staff was. They even surprised me with a birthday cupcake and song. A very sweet touch indeed. I am so happy I found this gem. I definitely plan on returning.

    I am obsessed with Joseph's Tea! I order their monthly tea subscription, where I receive 6 different loose-leaf teas each month, which is more than enough to last me for 30 days - even with multiple cups of tea a day. Receiving the different flavors of tea at the beginning of each month is a celebration, and it's always a fun surprise to see which favorites and which new flavors will be coming. The tea is high quality, and drinking cups of tea throughout the day has become a part of my daily routine that I consistently look forward to. My stomach and nerves also appreciate the tea over coffee every day! I was also able to visit Joseph's Tea Room and experience their afternoon high tea. It did not disappoint and exceed my expectations! The tea room is beautifully designed, mixing elegant and modern decor - perfect for an elevate tea experience. The food was unbelievably good, and the scones were the best I've ever had. They have many tasty vegan and gluten-free food options, as well. The owners, Guerby and Shannon, are so kind and welcoming, as well. I can't recommend Joseph's Tea enough, whether it's visiting their tea room if you're local or ordering their teas online (or both!).

    My friend and I love tea and are always on the lookout for tea house experiences. We both LOVED our experience at Joseph's! The food is delicious and filling. The service is top tier. The tea is delicious! The owner is very involved and is happy to make recommendations (which is super helpful with all the choices of tea there are). I liked it so much I went back the next day with more people! It is such a cute store front, perfect for bridal showers, lunch dates, meeting, whatever!

    My fiancé and I went for the tea experience which was absolutely fantastic! You got to each choose from a variety of teas to have your OWN whole teapot with a few sandwiches (the cucumber was my favorite), scones, and desserts. Words don’t describe how delightful the time we spent here was. Each table had a fresh set of flowers and cute tea ware. We are so excited to go back even for just lunch or something rather than the tea experience (which will will be doing again). The owners were also lovely people and very friendly, it was nice to hold a conversation with them 💕

    The owners, Shannon and Guerby Joseph are amazing and super sweet. A place I will be returning to for sure. Definitely recommend the Deluxe Afternoon Tea Experience. Can't wait fory next visit. I would give them 100+ stars if available.

    I recently visited here for my mom's birthday, and it was an amazing experience! The staff was incredibly accommodating, even when our group of 22 had last-minute additions. The food was delicious and so filling that we couldn't finish it all. The staff was exceptional, taking great care of us throughout our visit. Highly recommended!

    This is the cutest tea spot I have ever been to. The food was so delicious. I got the deluxe and it was just perfect. The tea pots the tea came were adorable. They have so many teas to choose from I'm so glad we were a good size group to share and try different ones. I loved that we can dress up or dress down to go there and even the waitresses had tea party clips on their hair! They were all super friendly and let us take pictures everywhere. Due to my busy schedule I haven't been back to see the expansion of the place but it looks BEAUTIFUL! The owners are also so quick to interact with you on social media if you have a question or concern. I hope they get to open up more locations so everyone can experience Joseph's Tea!

    This place is the cutest tea room!! It was such a lovely birthday treat, the food was so fresh and delicious and there was such a variety of tea to choose from. I would highly recommend the afternoon tea, the sandwiches, scones and mini desserts were all amazing!! For a Tuesday afternoon it was fully booked, but we were looked after and enjoyed every moment!

    Loved this place! Decided to go on a fun date adventure with the bf to try something different, so we splurged and got the Deluxe Afternoon Tea Experience. No regrets whatsoever, and we WILL be going back! We booked via Opentable the night before for a 1:30 reservation, and they were able to seat us early. Vibe: The decor is awesome - lots of Tiffany blue and gold, fun flowers and art. There's even a regal-looking chair for photo ops. Every table has a couple of roses in a vase, gold silverware, and rose-themed dinnerware. Service: Was awesome! Our server was super attentive, patient, and very nice. She was accomodating, and got everything right. We also met Shannon (and baby Denzel). Shannon was so nice and checked in a couple of times to make sure we were welcomed, and enjoying our time there. Super gracious and kind. Food: You get their berry salad as a starter (lettuce, blueberries, strawberries, and walnuts with a raspberry vinaigrette). I asked for it without walnuts and they easily accomodated. Very tasty and light. Then you get to choose what kind of tea you want, along with sandwich options. For sandwiches, you get your choice of one full sandwich, and a half sandwich. We went with a chicken salad sandwich on croissant (white and wheat bread are also options), and I chose the half cucumber cream cheese on white bread while the bf went with the half egg salad on white bread. All of the sandwiches were delicious and quite filling. Chicken salad was definitely my favorite though. When they do bring them out, the sandwiches are at the bottom of the tea tray, scones are on the middle tray, and desserts on top. Since we went with the deluxe option, we also got a plate with 4 chocolate-covered strawberries (2 per person), and 2 glasses of champagne each. The scones were blueberry, and white chocolate raspberry. They came with a berry jam and Devonshire cream. They were really good, but I would've preferred a plain or vanilla option. Totally on me, though - should've probably asked. I ended up taking mine home and eating them a few days later and they definitely held up, still really good. For the dessert tray, we had a couple of mini red velvet cupcakes, 2 little banana pastry (i think), and a couple of macarons (vanilla lime, and chocolate). I only had the macarons, which I really enjoyed. Bf said the red velvets were great, but the banana pastry things were good but a little overpowering. Chocolate-covered strawberries were top notch, and so pretty. I may or may not have had all 4 - they are my favorite. There were so many tea options! It was very hard to choose, but we ended up with the gunpowder green tea, and the white strawberry basil. Would definitely recommend both, and there are SO MANY that I still want to try. As a sidenote, lots of parking in the plaza. Would 100000% recommend and go back. Date night or fun hangout with the girls. Definitely a great value and a memorable time.

    Our group of 17 had a lovely afternoon tea experience this weekend. The tables were perfectly set, they provided us with a wonderful variety of teas, delicious food, excellent customer service, and a charming atmosphere. We are planning to make this an annual event for our group! Highly recommended for parties or events.

    My husband and I came here for afternoon tea on a Sunday. We made reservations online, which was nice. The website was a little tricky to navigate. Decor - Decor is different and fun with lots of bright colors. More of a modern twist, lot of different things going on. Service - They seemed a little short staffed, we sat at our table for about 10 min, and then she came over with sparkling wine and a menu. I wish we had gotten the menu when we sat down so we could've looked it over while waiting. Our server also brought us chocolate covered strawberries with our sparkling wine, which was odd since we hadn't even eaten yet. I think they need to switch this up and bring these out with the tiers. Tea - Huge selection - I do wish they had small descriptions of the flavor profile of the teas. I asked our server, and she wasn't too sure what exactly was in mine. I also had a leaking tea pot with a crack in it. Sandwiches and salad - They start the tea off with a berry salad, which was good. Sandwiches were decent, but they didn't knock my socks off. I wasn't a fan of eating a whole sandwich and then one small sandwich. I'd rather try 3 halves so I can try different things. They weren't bad but just didn't give me the tea vibe. We got the chicken salad, nut butter, cucumber and cream cheese, and egg salad. All were decent, but to me, afternoon tea isn't croissants, but finger tea sandwiches with an assortment. Scones - I'm not sure if the menu says scones, but these weren't scones. They were good but tasted more like a muffin or cookie. I can't describe it, but it wasn't a scone. Again, it was good, just not a traditional scone, which is what I associate afternoon tea with. Desserts - These were okay. They didn't taste homemade. I think this is a decent spot if you're looking for a different spot for a ladies' lunch or a cute place to take your daughter, but i didn't get the afternoon tea feel just more of a luncheon. There's a lot of potential here, and I know they're new so I would try them again in a few months to compare.

    I really enjoyed my experience here. The shop is beautifully decorated and has a cozy yet fancy feel. Our server was very kind and the owner was also present the day I went in. She was super nice and gave us some great info about their teas. I had the afternoon tea service and was super impressed. The portion sizes are big, I had to take a doggie bag home which was a nice treat for later. The food was delicious, especially the ham salad and chicken salad. Probably the best tea experience I’ve had in Florida. I will 100% go back and bring friends.

    I decided to take my mom to Joseph's Tea Room for the Afternoon Tea Experience to celebrate her birthday and had a wonderful time. Everyone was very accommodating to our schedules and dietary restrictions. Due to a mix up on my part, we ended up booking last minute on the same day, but were able to get in for their last time slot. We had noted that one of us was gluten intolerant, and the other intolerant to mustard. The staff was kind enough to ensure that all items (sandwiches, scones, and desserts) on my mothers tray were gluten free, and even made a chicken salad sandwich without mustard for me. The food and tea were delicious, definitely standing out as some of the better offerings I've had at a tea room. All of this was possible due to the outstanding employees. Everyone who helped us was so friendly, patient, and polite.

    What a wonderful place. Brings out your divine femininity. I loved the decor and setup with various designs of teapots. I came here for my birthday and it did not disappoint. We had the full experience from selecting our own tea to choosing our desired sandwiches - ending it with the three tier tray with scones and treats. Will visit again! 🩷

    The epitome of a girl’s lunch!!! The atmosphere is so aesthetic and adorable! Do you want the cute tea set up but actually enjoy incredible food, come here!!! Everything we had on the menu was absolutely delicious and perfectly seasoned. The chocolate croissant was fresh from the oven and completely decimated my standard for chocolate pastries. The tea selection is vast and Sarah was so patient with us as we made our selection. She had helpful insight and made me feel like we were sitting in her cozy living room. The owner Shannon stopped by our table multiple times to make sure we were happy and answer some tea related questions. Reservations are a must, if you want an elegant tea party or a cozy spot for lunch on a rainy day, THIS is the place!! I picked up some different varieties of tea to make at home and I can’t wait to be back in the Tea Room for another lovely experience!!

    We love our visits to Joseph’s Tea! My first visit was with my daughter and granddaughter when they were newly opened because we love going to tea places! We were greeted with a friendly, welcoming smile and enjoyed our delicious tea and fun tier of sandwiches, scones and yummy desserts. They even offered to take our photos for the memory! Making reservations were super easy and they sell their tea blends! We visited again to celebrate my niece’s birthday in their beautiful, newly decorated gained space! The owner recognized me and was gracious to accommodate me for a guest who couldn’t make it by wrapping it up to go! (She told me not to worry about it but I insisted on compensating because that’s how small family owned businesses thrive!) We all tried the different options which were delicious! It is also nice that they offer gluten free options for those who need it. I am looking forward to our next visit and possibly meeting their sweet little newest addition!

    Every detail is exquisite! I recently went for a second time -for my birthday tea, which they surprised me with a cupcake . I went with my daughter before the expansion, and the second time after the expansion was even better. The room is so bright a nicely decorated. There are so many amazing tea blends! Staff is so incredibly sweet and knowledgeable, the food was better than any tea room in the metro, in my opinion. I love every detail - the delicious and thoughtful twists on every level, from salads, to scones and desserts. There was so much food for the money, we needed boxes! The owners are super gracious. They even set out a special setting for my silent guest! Haha. This is definitely my new regular tea room. Can’t wait to go back soon. ❤️

    The Joseph's are providing a truly unique tea experience! Their teas were high quality, brewed perfectly and filled the space with lovely aromas. They have a plethora of delicious vegan options! This day the tea house was filled with guests as I'm sure word is getting out about this wonderful little gem.

    Joseph's is a charming tea room with excellent products and service. We have been here twice and were able to get nice seating without a reservation. Since last time we were here, they have expanded and now have an additional room for larger parties and reservations. I loved my English breakfast tea and egg and cheese on a croissant. My fiancé got coffee and a chicken salad sandwich. Looking forward to coming back again soon!

    I took my Mom for the tea experience and had high hopes given all of the great reviews I had read. Unfortunately our experience was not what we expected. The owner served us and seemed less than enthused to be doing so. When she came to take our order for the 3 tiers she didn’t explain how everything worked and we had to ask several questions to get the information. She seemed annoyed that we were asking for an explanation. We are both vegan and I’d read great things from my vegan groups but what was delivered was lackluster. In comparison to non-vegan options we were delivered very little on our 3 tiers and we were charged $4.00 extra each just because it was vegan. The food was also just ok and the tea was alright but nothing to write home about. The bill came to over $100 for the 2 of us and was certainly not worth the price. If it wasn’t so expensive and we hadn’t been charged extra for less food than everyone else I would give it a second try but it’s just not worth it.
