CLEARWATER — The unremarkable strip mall plaza off U.S. 19 belies the wonder that awaits at Joseph’s Tea Room and Shop.

Inside, a quaint lobby stuffed with tchotchkes opens up to a vast teal room decked out with tea pots and faux foliage and colorful photos, beckoning those looking for a classic afternoon tea experience.

Michelle Stark is the assistant editor overseeing the life and culture reporting team.
