Whether you're winding down before a show or looking for an atmospheric place to gather with friends, Joseph's combines wellness and indulgence in a unique experience.

What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable rave about the beautiful interior design, describing it as “elegant” and “Pinterest-perfect.” Guests love the wide tea selection, well-crafted light bites, and exceptional service. The Afternoon Tea experience is especially popular, with many calling it a “hidden gem” in Dunedin. Several customers mention that it’s a refreshing change from the usual loud pre-show bars and restaurants.

Areas for Improvement

Because Joseph’s focuses on tea and light fare, it may not be ideal if you're looking for a full dinner before a long concert night. Some visitors have noted that it can get busy on weekends, so reservations are recommended. Also, if you're in a hurry, allow a little extra time—the relaxed pace is part of the charm but may not suit those rushing to a show.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers seeking a peaceful, stylish, and unique pre-show experience, Joseph's Tea Bar delivers with charm and flavor.
