One of my favorite tea spots! Teaspoon was always a must-go whenever I visited the Bay. So glad to see that they've since expanded nationwide and there's now one nearby! I almost always get their Peach Oolong Tea- 50% sweet, less ice. Strong tea notes + some sweetness from the fruit = the most refreshing summer drink! read more

Steep Thoughts: Florence's Quest for (Her) Perfect Black Milk Tea Black milk tea: 0.5/2. I got the House Milk Tea, 25% sweet, less ice. This drink was just okay in my opinion. It was appropriately not too sweet, and I appreciate that the drink uses lactose-free creamer by default. However, I probably should've gotten no ice, as it was quite watery and half the cup was ice still. The tea has slightly grassy notes which I personally don't prefer. I do think that 50% sweet would provide a better balance of flavors. For me the biggest downside was the price: $8 is way too much for a standard milk tea with no toppings. Other drinks: 1/1. The menu includes a good breadth of milk teas, fruit teas, matcha, Vietnamese coffee, and more. Ambiance: 1/1. Simple but playful decor, with a few claw machines and plentiful seating with tables. Free WiFi makes this a good place to work. Service: 1/1. Order at the digital kiosk or at the counter. Drinks come out quickly. Total: 3.5/5 read more

Ambiance..cute place and lots of games to play with Service..fast and friendly Food..I love my royal chai with boba..so refreshing and good chai. They have it warm too. read more

Delicious boba!!! They also sell a lot of squishes, and it's a really fun place to be. Everyone there is super nice. One of my favorite boba places in town. read more

This used to be my favorite boba spot in Carlsbad. Unfortunately now, drinks are just subpar. It's become more of a place my kids wants to come for the dopamine hits of the claw machine. It's actually super frustrating that drinks that "come with boba" you can't just sub it out for another topping. I literally had to fight with the cashier that I wanted grass jelly instead of boba with my Thai tea and she still wanted to charge me an extra $1 for the change. It's A SUBSTITUTION. I hope they get back to figuring out better drinks instead of robbing my kids with their claw machines!!!! 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

I visited here about a month back and ordered the matcha strawberry and unfortunately the matcha was very bitter, I got regular sweetness but the bitterness of the drink was severe. Usually the other drinks are pretty decent so it may have just been a one off but an unfortunate one off to spend $8 since the drinks are a little pricier at this location specifically at around $8 per base drink meaning without any toppings. It would be cool to see more drinks come with boba given that they are higher priced in comparison to places that you get the drink and boba for less than $8. However if the drink is good, maybe it's worth it but in this case, it was an extra fee on top of the drink I didn't enjoy. In the future I will try and return and get something different in hopes for a better experience next time read more

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

Came here a couple days ago and had a great experience. I got the royal chai and a kid named Jackson made it. That kids got a special way with these drinks!! Definitely will be back 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

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

The guava sunset is really tasty! Inside they a bunch of games for you to play when you wait for your order. Some examples of games that are inside are claw machines, The Simsons arcade game, and many more. What I really like about their boba drinks is that you can say what percent sweet you want it, for example, 75%. You can also pick many toppings to add to it like: honey boba, popping boba, and a lot more. My personal order is guava sunset with honey boba. The reason I get this order is because I love the texture of honey boba and the sweetness of guava sunset. Must try 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

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

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

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

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

My friend and I were driving down to SD for the 4th of july and decided to grab boba. When we walked in the girl in the front didn't really acknowledge us just kind of side eyed us. We decided to use the self order kiosk rather than order with her as she seemed bothered by us taking a few minutes to look at the menu even though it was our first time here. After the drinks came out we asked her for the restroom code and she just mumbled something and stared until we repeated the question. After pausing again she almost reluctantly told us the code. The drinks were great I wish i could've tried them all however she definitely had a slightly offputting presence and attitude from the start. 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

I LOVE THIS TEASPOON! The service is amazing and very fast, and there are also tons of fun claw games to play while you drink your boba. It always smells amazing in there and the vibes are 10/10 so many options for boba and also sweet treats. this is THE boba place read more

absolutely terrible service! we were really looking forward to trying this place, but upon entering the shop the employee just stared us down and went back to socializing with his friends. it appears the employee is using the business as a personal hangout spot for him and his friends. it was constant screaming and music on full blast that kept changing based on requests from the friends. we added one item to our order on the kiosk and a girl screamed at the top of her lungs and proceeded to just laugh with her friends and the employee that was present...so we left. never even got the chance to try the drinks which is ridiculous because at any other business, if a customer was acting in such a disruptive manner, an employee or manager would've asked them to settle down. we also saw other customers walk in and walk out because there's just no way anyone is waiting or even enjoying their orders in there. we didn't see a single adult present and not sure if the business owner is aware of the actions of their employees. very disappointed. 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

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

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

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

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

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
