The food was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend the Million Dollar Bacon. The service was less than stellar. Our server appeared to be frantic and taking care of 4 tables including ours. We didn't see her often, and everything took a very long time to come out. But, again the food was amazing. Our server was scatterbrained and has to be reminded of many things. read more

First time in, and definitely not the last. Right when you walk in the restaurant is giving exquisite which my gf appreciates a lot lol. Service was great and food was on another level. Super filling portions, if you plan on stopping by and are in the mood for pancakes keep in mind they are HUGE! We had to drink the pomegranate juice which was super refreshing. I've never had that before so that was new too me. Conveniently located so like I said it won't be our last visit! read more

This is restaurant aims for simplicity and healthy. They hit all the spots when it comes to clean eating. My girlfriend ordered a salmon bagel and it was really good. Great consistency and I think I liked it better than my breakfast haha. I should have ordered that instead! If you like salmon this would be something I'd recommend and consider. I myself had the french toast. The most unique part of my meal was that they bring you out a warm syrup so it's ready and super fresh on the spot. It made the french toast experience even better. Aside from my french toast, I ordered a chicken sausage and that was really delicious. Super lean and wished I had ordered some more! If you come here you have to order the orange juice with beet. I felt that really gave me energy and it felt like I was awake after a few sips. Overall, it was a neat place to be , the menu is simple and they keep it clean. read more

2 stars because the food has been good. Unfortunately, on our last visit the glass bottom on a bottle of hot sauce must have been already broken and when I picked it up the bottom fell off. Hot sauce all over my blouse, pants, seat and table. Mistakes happen, but how it was handled was unfortunately was Very unprofessional and that's why I will not be returning. Servers didn't clean it all up and hot sauce was still all over the table and dripping down the seat onto my pant leg. We sat there for a few minutes hoping to get more napkins, no servers in sight. Then when I went to the kitchen to kindly ask for more napkins....hint, hint the table needs cleaning! And nothing, no help, no servers and more frustration. Finally, after asking for a manager our bill was comped. Mgr, please train all servers on how to handle customers when food or drinks are spilled. read more

I had a good time here brought my boyfriend here at this location. We went to the Broadway one before and enjoyed it. Figured why not try this one as well. I had a great time with my boyfriend. They were super busy when we got here. It took about 20 mins to get in since they were super packed. We were sat at the bar which was nice. I had a trifecta with a chocolate chip pancake instead this time. He had a bowl with feta cheese and egg. Then on-top of that the million dollar bacon. The only thing I have to say about the bacon it was a little more peppery this time from the previous times my boyfriend and I had it. But overall everything was good and filling. We love coming here due to how nice the place is and the experience we get every time. We had a great server her name was Brianna? She was very attentive and helpful while we were there.

Service was fast and friendly. Everything we ordered was phenomenal. The flavors were on point and everything was cooked well. The only complaint on food was the snickerdoodle was too much sugar on top for us. There was only 1 issue when there and that was something my husband noticed because he was facing the window. They seem to have a fly problem. In one photo I took, there was a graveyard of flies just on the window. We also had some on the side of our table. I know flies can be hard to avoid and they get especially bad during summer but it was not something nice to look at (for my husband since he was facing them) while eating.

Teaspoon is one of the best overall restaurants in Tucson…read more I've been here a few times over the last year or so. It has never disappointed in service, quality or taste. (well once in taste, but I'll get to that) They have great in-house made items. Like the Challa bread, the preserves, their pesto. They most certainly know what they're doing. I had unseasoned filet mignon once, I believe it was the omelette. I talked to the manager. Now I wasnt upset, didn't send it back, I just told them what I experienced and mused that I found it odd the cook forgot a simple thing like salt. The manager acknowledged my complaint and that was all; or at least I was fine. Nope, she came back with a to-go box of croissants topped with cream and berries as an apology. They were tremendous by the way. She didn't have to do that. The ambiance is it's only weak point, but even that is minor. Simple black is fine. It's modern feeling and doesn't stand out loudly. They have outdoor seating, which early in the morning is fine, but id avoid in the summer, which will likely mean you'll be waiting, depending on the time. Oh! I forgot to mention, they have very good drinks. They really are intentional about the blend of flavors, they have a little something for everyone. All in all, I cannot recommend this place enough. It's been a shining star amongst Tucson restaurants and I am grateful they exist. Even to how they organize their menu partly by flavor profiles shows they genuinely LOVE food. I love food too, and I love here. Try this place. Today.

Staff were all very kind and never seemed annoyed with the dog (you can always tell at a restaurant if they are, and they were very happy to accommodate him). Very dog friendly!! The food: We gotta talk about their French onion soup. It was pretty dang delicious! The broth itself is quite nice, a nice cheese portion, and the baguette was divine. I also had their French Connection sandwich (with a side of fries), and it had a great combo of ooey, gooey cheese, firm and flavorful ham, and served on a really delicious loaf.
