Just tried Teaspoon yesterday and the guava and pineapple drink was really good and not overly sweet. I recommend shaking it lightly before putting in the bamboo straw. The cashier was really nice and gave us a sample of their teas and desserts. It was very clean inside and fairly busy when I stopped in during lunch hours on a Friday... We just downloaded the app to get the rewards and order ahead. Glad they opened near Jersey Mike's. The only thing is it's hard to find a place to park! read more

Stopped by on a Thursday afternoon and the shop was pretty empty but there's sufficient seating for those who want to hangout after work or school. Ordered an osmanthus milk tea with brown sugar boba and crystal jelly and it was pretty decent. I will say, the boba had a bit of a sour aftertaste (i noticed it when I was driving so didn't bother going back). I wouldn't say that it's from the boba going bad but I'd recommend the shop to test with different types of honey/syrups. Some react oddly to the starch of the boba and creates a sour taste. (Experienced this with a few shops before so it's not a major alarming thing for me, though I could see why other customers might flag this). Consistency of the pearls was good at least. The tea itself was floral, not too strong so for a younger audience, this is good. Service was good and employees were nice and kept the place clean. I'm a little neutral on the shop, so idk if I'd come back or not. Tbd. Overall rating: Food: 7/10 Service: 10/10 Menu: 10/10 Restaurant Vibes: 10/10 Price to Overall Dining (POD): 8/10 Update: The shop clarified that this is the natural taste from a boba brand they use. It makes sense and it's probably why other shops have the same boba after taste. I appreciate the information :) read more

Absolutely crap service! I'm not sure if there is an actual adult there on hand. All I can say is the children working behind the counter, seem more interested in socializing with their friends. Watching the child try to complete an order was exhausting! I'm not certain if he was playing on his iPad or actually trying to look up the instructions on how to complete two drinks. Either way, it took him over ten minutes. Whoever the owner is, needs to seriously review their employees... read more

Best boba tea spot! I like that they have claw machine as well. My daughter and her friends like to come here during play dates and I enjoy seeing them happy and enjoy the drinks here as well read more

Teaspoon is a solid spot to get boba. Their drinks are refreshing and unique. I was excited when they announced that they would have their double matcha so I had to try it. I got it with oat milk and 25% sweet. It was a solid 3.5/5. It was on the sweeter side and the matcha flavor was not as strong as I'd like it to be. It's definitely better than a Starbucks or Better buzzed matcha but not something I would go out of my way for. Service was great and our drinks came out pretty quick. Update: Teaspoon reached out to me and let me know that I could have adjusted the matcha pour and made it stronger. That would have definitely improved the drink and make it a 5/5. I recommend trying the double matcha and requesting a heavy pour of matcha. Once again service was great and I'll definitely have to try this new adjustment! read more

My favorite boba spot in north county. They have a variety of drinks to choose from and you can even make your own. The inside is spacious and a great ambiance as well. The service is great and Kevin was super helpful in providing info on the teas. Can't wait to come back! read more

I came in after dinner to relax with friends, the atmosphere was very welcoming with board games to play and nonrigged claw machines. I was able to win 2 prizes for 10 dollars. The drinks themself were very refreshing and accurate especially since I make alot of modifications next time I come back to san diego I'm coming here to unwind! read more

I LOVE Teaspoon! Boba has become so popular but no one does it like teaspoon, and for a good price! I like to keep it simple with a Thai tea with boba and it is awesome every time. Always tastes the same! The ladybug is also a delicious choice with passion fruit! The inside is cute and clean and my favorite part, doordashing this place to work!! read more

We ordered two boba tea, which were both tasty. Teaspoon looked like a cool place for tweens, teens or young adults to hang for a bit. There were board games, a few claw machines and I think a photo booth in the back. We got our teas promptly. I want to go back and try a few of the other drinks and snacks. read more

Nice spot! Good options and service! Loved our drinks:) Absolutely loved the different fruit flavors and milk options, there's something for everyone! read more

I love their taro drink, which is non-dairy. It has the perfect consistency and sweetness. I enjoyed having the taro bits in there, but they tend to clog the straw. Service was friendly and efficient, but it's not particularly noteworthy. read more

Nice spot for boba. Very nice service and clean. Ordered jasmine green tea with boba, light ice, 50% sweet. Tea was good, ice was light, and not too sweet, but also kinda light on the boba. For the volume or drink I'd expect a little more boba. The boba was good and consistent though still. read more

Teaspoon is one my go-tos for boba and always has the strong tea flavor that I look for in my milk tea. The liquid gold drink was very creamy and refreshing, and also had the perfect sweetness. The classic thai tea was also very good and came with boba, which was average if I'm being honest. I loved the ambience inside Teaspoon. There were many tables for people to sit and sip their drinks while doing work. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back for more! read more

Teaspoon - Left: Liquid Gold Right: Classic Thai Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Location is easy to find. We are not locals and just happen to be in the area. I like how their drinks are not very sweet and their portions are bigger. They look very nice on camera. Wait isn't very long and the girls making the drinks are nice and friendly. For a small store, they have a lot of tables and seats provided. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because of the price. They are on the pricier side. Overall, I will come back again if we are ever back in the area. read more

Decided to stop here during my vacation in Carlsbad. It's just like any other teaspoon, but open way later. They also had board games and more for their customers to enjoy with their beverages! The staff was very friendly and helpful and the store is clean. Always love teaspoon's drinks, but the only issue is the prices here are higher than the ones back home. I get it though, as there weren't many boba places in Carlsbad to begin with! read more

The milk tea with 25% sugar is my jam! I had teaspoon in OC and this one is pretty consistent. I usually get the milk tea to judge it. Boba was soft and chewy. They have limited toppings, wanted like a cheese foam or grass jelly, but boba is good. Other variety of drinks. Next time! read more

Tea Spoon is one of the best boba places I've been to. The drinks taste really good, and the boba is soft and chewy. They have a lot of flavors, so there are many choices. The place is nice and a good spot to hang out with friends. I think it's better than most other boba places, and even Sydney Chloe would agree. Also they are the best employees and very nice and had great service. read more

I got the strawberry colada! It was so good and filled me up! It was very fresh with the perfect amount of sweetness. I also added boba for that extra chewy texture. Yum!! Highly recommend you check it out! The owner was there and so kind and took the time to explain how they made the strawberry jam in house with a bit of honey to sweeten the strawberries. I can't wait to try other flavors! read more

Great quality drinks, Great vibes! Drinks came out pretty quick for a weekend. This is going to be my new go to spot for boba! Thank you Brendan for the awesome service! read more

HOORAY!!!!!!!!! Finally a good boba joint for me in North County! I'm a basic B and mainly get Thai Tea but I'm quite the snob about my Thai Tea. At first I was slightly disappointed that I couldn't adjust the sweetness level, but their Thai Tea is perfeeeeeeect for me! (Most places make them too sweet) Hubby got Thai Tea with boba (which were perfectly chewy!) Super stoked for this new tea shop. I loved that they had an self ordering station on the side if lines got too line. I came in when it was pretty quiet and the girl that helped me was super sweet. They have a huge selection of other teas and desserts as well! They had some samplers for me to try but I knew my basic B ass would just get the Thai tea. I'm looking forward to coming back to try my other go to drink - Matcha! Congrats on this new opening on a great new bubble tea spot in North County Coastal!!!! I'm so glad I don't have to drive all the way to San Marcos /Carlsbad MALL or even San Diego to get boba now read more

this was my third time trying it, and unfortunately i still haven't had a good drink. i got the double matcha and it tasted way too artificial and sweet. their house milk tea also leans more syrupy than tea-forward. customer service is nice and the place itself looks great, but the drinks just don't match the vibe. read more

The best Boba in San Diego! Their milk tea is my son's fav! Teaspoon in Carlsbad is a woman-owned small business so supporting them is a pleasure! The owner, Irene, is so kind, fun and generous! Looking forward to visiting your beautiful spot again soon! read more

Very cute boba tea place located in La Costa Town Square. Walked in and saw a good amount of small tables to sit at and a couple iron tables outside as well. The menu was on the wall by the front counter/register. Made it easy to decide what we wanted while we waited our turn to order. There was also a self-service kiosk by the entrance as well-which we initially didn't notice. There's a good amount of various drinks, offering only one size, and price is comparable to other boba tea places. There's also a case of baked goodies at the front counter as well. The girl working was very nice and friendly and even though she was by herself, she was very efficient in taking orders and getting the drinks out in a timely manner. We tried the Creamy Jasmine milk tea with boba and the Taro Lover with chunks of taro. They were both very delicious! With the perfect amount of sweetness according to both our tastes. I also appreciated that the girl made sure I was ok with the taro chunks that come in my drink, the Taro Lover. All in all, we had a great first visit and happy we decided to try this place. We already plan to go back in the following weeks to try more of their specialties. read more

Family favorite - Our local go to spot!!! Tasty, consistent and great online ordering service

We ordered Guava Sunset, Black Sugar Assam and Matcha Royale Classic with oat milk and they were very tasty and full of distinctive flavor. We drank so fast and forgot to take the picture. Their menu is very eclectic and out of ordinary. read more

Irene (owner) is a class act and sells kick arse boba too... my daughters love it and keep coming back. Back to Irene, any time you ask her for help or a donation, she is always there with a smile. Please help support this local business that makes good quality boba at a great price. read more

Very much enjoyed the Golden Brew with Boba. The taste, freshness was really excellent. The ding for one star was because of the price point of extra $1 for the boba and another $1 for oat milk on top of $6.75 for the drink. It's a bit pricey $8.75 for me for a small drink. read more

The Grand Opening was a little bit chaotic because people were cutting in line to be in the first 100, people were letting their friends of 4-8 people join late, and having their 6 month old babies count (even though they can't drink boba or use the glass bottle, lol), but in the end the tea was really good and the owner was very nice. I waited in line for about 3 hours to get my tea, but it was good, and there were still seats inside! I will definitely be back! They have free wifi, too. read more

First went to a Teaspoon in LA a couple years ago and LOVED it. I was excited to learn a while back that Teaspoon was coming to Carlsbad. I've always had a great experience at this Teaspoon location. Conveniently located for me. Delicious Boba drinks (Silky Mango is my fav), the store always looks clean and and lastly great customer service (Thanks Brendan!). I'll keep coming back... read more

Appreciate when they get the boba balls just right and they get their boba balls just right. Cheers to great boba balls!

SO DELICIOUS. My husband and I come here about once a week. We have LOVED almost every drink. The boba itself is the perfect sweetness and texture. The teas are a great unique variety with options to create your own drinks! I would recommend the house milk tea, Thai tea and taro lover. We just don't recommend the tajin mango drink or the dirty ube. Those are gross (: read more

Delicious! Upscale boba spot w/a handful of bakery items (brownies, lemon cake, coffee cake). Quality items. I'm obsessed with their matcha! Very high quality and dairy free! I will continue to support this location! read more
