    Matcha with bannana foam and Classic Thai Tea
    Jazmine P.

    We LOVE Teaspoon! We used to have to make a long drive just to find good boba since there weren't any good spots in Escondido but now we know we can count on Teaspoon for delicious drinks! The customer service is the best! And the location is always clean. The parking as others have mentioned is good as well. I usually get the Matcha with bannana foam which is my favorite drink there!

    Cute boba tea place with claw machines and game boards! Located in the Escondido Promenade Shopping Center between HuckleBerry's and Subway so there's plenty of parking. I ordered the Black Sugar Assam, Nashville Hot Tater Tots, and Chicken Karaage. My friend ordered the Honey BBQ French Fries. Pro-tip: when ordering on the touch screen kiosk, order the drink first and then add one of the hot food item on as a combo to save $2! The black sugar boba is already included in black sugar assam drink, so no need for extra toppings unless u want more. Service for drinks were quicker then the hot food which took about 15 mins. We dine in so it was a good time to catch up or play games. Great experience overall! The Honey BBQ French Fries are a must-order. The chicken karaage batter was a little heavier than I usually like, but the flavors were still good.

    We've been to Teaspoon in Dana Point so I'm glad there's one in Escondido. You can either order from a kiosk or a barista. From the moment you order to receiving your drink, it's pretty quick ~5-10min max. We ordered the guava tea and mango silk, and both were great. I like that they had options for non-caffeinated drinks. Since being pregnant, there's not many options for non-caffeinated drinks at most boba places so this was really nice especially when you're trying to lower your caffeine intake. The store is actually pretty big with a decent amount of indoor seating. It's also very clean and decor is simple. Would definitely come back again when we're back in the area.

    TEASPOON @ ESCONDIDO This spot deserved 5 stars! Parking was easily accessible out front, and the place was so spacious, and the environment was bright. If you download the app, you get $3 off your first order, pretty amazing! We got greeted and asked if we were ready to order once we stepped in. My boyfriend and I got the Thai Tea and their House Milk Tea, both with Boba! The drinks were pretty decent, and it wasn't overly sweet. I really enjoyed it. My drink at first tasted a bit watered down, but the worker there was very kind to add some more syrup in my drink and remade it! The place itself was great, lots of chatter and a whole section of card games! My boyfriend and I were there for atleast an hour just laughing, and playing cards! I really enjoyed my experience here, and will definitely be coming back!

    I didn't have much time for lunch today so I decided to place an order through their app for pick up. They have the perfect snack combo for $10. You can upgrade to the chicken Karaage for additional $5. 1st time trying Lychee on Lychee. It's a tasty black tea. Good size pieces of chicken Karaage. Came out crispy and the meat was still juicy. Located in a pretty busy shopping plaza. They provide game boards if you want to stick around and have a little fun while sipping on your teas.

    BUY ONE GET ONE FREE, GRAND OPENING 2/22-2/23 There was a long line because it's a grand opening, but They had taro and guava sunset samples that were delicious. Free stickers! It's a spacious location with desserts, snacks, games to play. I got the "hot" strawberry serenade with pudding topping. It was lukewarm, but still pretty tasty to me. The strawberry taste with matcha was scrumptious. My friend didn't really like it. He got a classic Thai tea. Which was pretty good. I am definitely coming back again!

    I am so happy there is a good boba place in Escondido! The aesthetic and atmosphere is super clean and hip. The service was very friendly. Stopped by yesterday late afternoon and it was empty. The server was very friendly. The place looked very clean. AC on and ample seating with wifi. Got a passionfruit ladybug drink and a taro drink and both were good.

    One of my top boba places in Cali, so glad they opened another one in Esco! It's still their soft opening. Ordered the Mango Funtime and it is perfect as always!

    Very clean and aesthetically pleasing inside. Lots of seats especially if you want to study, however I didn't really see a big table if u have a big group. Nice selection of milk teas and other toppings, although I didn't really like the Thai tea. It tasted too artificial in my opinion. Also lots of game options.

    Oh my gosh!! I'm so stoked that this place finally opened closer to where I live. The first time I tried this, it was in La Costa closer to Carlsbad which was always my go-to place whenever I would go to the 24-Hour Fitness there. This location seems a little bigger than the original location. Very clean and spacious with modern interior touches. There's a huge TV that shows their menu and an iPad where you can do a self-kiosk order. They always have extremely nice workers at any of their locations. Super accommodating, friendly and they always offer samples! Me and my husband got to try 2 of their fruity teas and they offer salted chips. My go-to here is alwaaays the Dirty Ube coffee with boba or the Matcha Royale w/ strawberries & boba. My husband likes the Taro Lover or Silky Mango with mango jelly or strawberry jelly. I love this boba place!! Especially their cute glass bottles, which I bought the first time I went here.

    Matcha Royale - Strawberry
    Laurel C.

    Very happy to have another boba spot in Escondido- love the presentation, the flavor options, and of course, an alternative milk option. Royal matcha with strawberry was delish, sweet with real strawberry pieces. Lots of other good options to try next time we come in. The location is clean, well-lit, plenty of parking and the staff was so kind and informative.

    My new favorite boba tea shop. Everything just feels a little more high quality and special here. Their visually impressive tall drinks are only matches by their superior taste. My favorite is Taro Lover (Taro milk w/ slow cooked taro chunks). - Ordering is easy with so many curated drinks to choose from. - Not all drinks can be made with less sugar.

    Stopped by after seeing this shop on my way home one day and had to stop by to give it a try since this is so close to my home! I'm so glad I did, my usual boba shop may have competition because Teaspoon was so good! The aesthetics of the shop was so cute, and the lady who was behind the counter was absolutely the sweetest person ever! She was very knowledgeable of all their drinks and offerings, and answered all of my questions! There were some drink and pastry samples when I stopped in and the guava sunset was available to try. Oh my gosh it was so good and ended up ordering it for myself. The price to size of the drink is reasonable. The flavors are all well balanced. There drink options also have a lot of different varieties you don't see at other shops, but also still carry a lot of boba shop staples. I can't wait to come back and try more flavors off their menu!

So far two stars for they way they interacted with other. One star for the pastry and the coffee mis up and late service was a - of stars. And my picky pastry folks (she knows who she is) would say it's not a true croissant, as there are cuts across the pastry... but it's buttery and flaky..

Both drinks come with an actual slice of tiramisu on top, which surprised me, l thought it would be more like a tiramisu flavored drink with hojicha or matcha mixed in. The tiramisu itself is really good, but personally I don't think it goes well with the drink. The texture of the cake while sipping the latte feels a little off. I also tried the nitro Vietnamese coffee. It was unusual because when you hear "Vietnamese coffee" you expect something strong, but this one was light and you can really taste the milk. I really enjoyed the bubble waffle series-especially the Oreo one. It's really good. The honey toast series was okay, nothing special. I got the honey toast with ice cream, and I remember honey toast being crispy but still easy to eat. This one wasn't crispy at all and the bread was tough. Overall, this place is reall good for matcha drinks.

    Reasonably priced with generous portions, but the flavors were ultimately underwhelming…read more There were 14 flavors available during my visit, including two sorbets. While the selection was respectable, there were not many particularly unique offerings. Most leaned heavily toward familiar vanilla or chocolate based profiles. The staff was generous with samples and allowed me to try as many flavors as I wanted, but unfortunately none of the three that caught my attention truly impressed me. The espresso was perhaps the weakest rendition I have encountered. It lacked both the boldness and aroma that make coffee flavored ice cream appealing. Whether the espresso itself was too diluted or simply not brewed strongly enough, the flavor struggled to make any impact. The stracciatella featured a straightforward milk base studded with chocolate shards. While this was a very traditional interpretation without unnecessary additions, the ice cream lacked the richness and depth needed to carry such a simple flavor profile. The chocolate provided texture, but the base itself felt flat. The sour cream and brown sugar ended up being my favorite of the three, largely because the brown sugar was actually distinguishable. The sour cream contributed an unusual tanginess that made the flavor more interesting, though the balance was inconsistent. Some bites highlighted the warm sweetness of the brown sugar, while others tasted predominantly of sour cream, creating a combination that occasionally felt at odds with itself. I appreciated that the small size included two flavors, and the employee serving me was generous with the scoops. Still, this ended up being a fairly forgettable stop. Those who enjoy gelato with bold, inventive, or highly concentrated flavors may find the offerings here a bit too restrained.
