The food is great and the service is wonderful. They need to figure out a better place for patrons to stand while waiting for a table. People are instructed to wait in a small narrow short hallway that houses two bathrooms. It's ridiculous. They need to sacrifice a table or two so there's a proper place for people to wait. read more

Teaspoon is one of the best overall restaurants in Tucson. 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. read more

Service was super fast one we got a table. Came on a Saturday at noon and the place was still crowded. They have breakfast all day but also provide lunch so everyone is happy. There is outdoor seating with small tables and misters to stay cool. The inside has a good amount of space and A/C is on spot. There is also a bar with a good number of seats available. This might be first come first served but I am not totally sure. The food is a really good spread of options. Pancakes, german pancakes, french toast, eggs benedict(s) monte cristo, omelets, croque madame, country chicken with biscuits and sausage gravy, chilaquiles con pollo, avocado toast, savory crepe, and even a breakfast pizza. Oh and they offer a few skillet options too-southwest, loaded baked potato, and sausage and peppers skillet. So many options!! I can't speak too much for lunch but I did see burgers on the menu. Not too helpful in that arena sorry. The eggs Benedict with ham was awesome. Side of potatoes with a bit of all seasoning and a side salad with awesome light dressing comes with it. The dutch baby was also great. A german pancake served savory with sausage. Huge portion. Come check this place out and make sure if you don't want to wait you call in advance when driving there and ask to get on their "wait list" you may not be able to get a reservation but you can do this. You're welcome. read more

Teaspoon was a great find. It's sandwiched between a couple of places, but once you walk down the ramp to their area, you find a true gem. The restaurant is half outside and half inside. It's is dog friendly and just such a nice vibe. Service was a bit crazy, but we totally understood given that it was Father's Day. Our wait was 19 minutes for a table and then another 10 minutes before the waitress came by to take our order. I'm certain it's not normally like this and took into full account all the families and couples that were there to celebrate Father's Day. The food was incredible. Once we ordered, we didn't have too long to wait before our order came out. My coffee was delicious and my husband enjoyed his organic tea. Aces all around. read more

I ordered the lobster and crab omelet and found it under seasoned and devoid of much lobster or crab. As a whole, I feel like the side pairing of challah toast with jam and butter is an odd choice. I also ordered the iced Thai tea, which was quite weak. Overall--I wasn't really feeling it. When you go to Teaspoon, you're really paying for ambience over quality. There's no issue with the service here, from hosts to wait staff. The food is simply underwhelming, and thus so is the experience. I wouldn't be mad to return, but I don't know if this would ever be my suggestion. read more

Had the perfect brunch experience here with our group of four. We had about an hour's wait time, so make reservations or join their live waitlist, if possible. We sat inside/outside, right smack in the middle. It was the perfect day for it. I enjoyed a bloody mary and it was tasty! Our waitress was friendly and attentive. We ordered chips & salsa and they were great! Chips tasted homemade and perfectly crunchy & lightly salted! They were served with salsa and pico de gallo. The salsa is top notch! Spicy & flavorful! I had their chilaquiles de pollo and they were very flavorful and spicy without being too hot! Will definitely be coming back! read more

I've had a Savory Dutch Baby on three visits to Teaspoon. They were excellent every time. Most impressive is it comes in a large cast iron skillet that's temperature is extremely hot. At first, every bite you take can burn your mouth, which I like. The kitchen must really have their act together to be able to accomplish this. Kudos to the staff at Teaspoon. read more

Food is 5 star no doubt however we've been there multiple times and they will have 15 open spots outside and give us a 45 minute wait time. And we ask why can't we sit there and the answer we got was that when it gets really busy like an hour an a half wait then they start seating people there. What a ridiculous answer! Truth is they're mismanaged and understaffed plain and simple. We won't even attempt to go there no matter how good their food is because of this. read more

Had out of town guests for breakfast. They had a very enjoyable meal. I am sorry to say mine was hardly edible. I had the chicken with sausage gravy. The chicken was very thin sliced and when coated was turned into one very well done chicken dish. I could hardly chew it. read more

Definitely not a place for vegans ! C'mon , can't you add at least 1 vegan meal ? I modified my avocado toast and it STILL had butter & the bread was meh . Ugh My chai latte with oat milk was good but way too sweet for me , it did have a master yummy foam top . My friend said her meal was good but lacked spice . Kinda bland . Service was good but nothing to rave about . Beautiful location & we were seated promptly. read more

Wonderful brunch and lunch spot in the Tucson/Oro Valley area. I came during a holiday weekend and it was understandably busy, however they offer an easy option to hold your spot online. The vibes are easy and laid back perfectly suited for catching up with friends and enjoying yourself. The patio is both misted and dog friendly which we appreciated. Service was quick and friendly- I had a cold brew coffee and the buffalo chicken wrap and my mom had the pesto chicken sandwich and everything was delicious and flavorful. read more

It was a Thursday afternoon, and the restaurant was packed. We were a party of six on the waitlist, but we only waited about five minutes for our table. Since it was a work lunch, we were pleased to sit at a large corner table. However, the noise level inside was quite loud. The menu offered a variety of great choices, ensuring there was something for everyone, which I especially appreciated as a vegetarian. Our waiter, Tito, was fantastic! He was friendly, attentive, and had a wonderful laugh. The food was excellent, and I don't think there were any complaints from anyone in our group. We would all definitely return for brunch again! read more

My husband and decided to give a Teaspoon a try. We arrived and waited no problem there the hostess Lucy very sweet and nice . Until we were seated the waiter acted rudely we dismissed he's attitude until he brought us the menu , he ask do you understand the menu, we responded yes so he mimic my response and then he took it further by directly asking me do you know how to read the menu. Y said yes again he makes fun of my response and I never felt so disrespected ... I felt because of I look he treated me differently my husband didn't eat any of the food and still pay because I have right up bringing. read more

Love the bubble waffle! Added ourselves to the waitlist on the way and when we arrived we had about a 20 min wait. Staff was pleasant and the bubble waffle was delicious! We also had the French toast and the loaded potato skillet. Indoor and outdoor seating available. We usually just ask for first available which also includes bar seating read more

While planning a day trip from Mesa to Tucson, I came across Teaspoon on a "Best Brunch in Tucson" list by Max Wingert via TucsonFoodie.com--and it definitely lived up to the hype. This place is clearly popular. When we arrived, there were quite a few parties waiting, but the overall wait time was only about 10-12 minutes, and we were seated promptly. The service was just as good as the food--our server was kind, helpful, and offered solid recommendations when we asked. As a proud chilaquiles enthusiast, I couldn't resist ordering the Chilaquiles con Pollo: crispy corn tortillas topped with shredded chicken, red sauce, Monterey Jack, crema, avocado, red onion, cilantro, and two sunny-side-up eggs. It was savory, spicy, and absolutely delicious--everything I look for in a good plate of chilaquiles. My boyfriend went with the Dutch Baby, a cast-iron German pancake served with apple, lemon, and local honey. It was beautifully done and full of flavor--though we had to wait a few minutes for it to cool down (cast iron stays hot!) Teaspoon is a cute little gem tucked into the Casa Adobes Plaza with cozy charm, great service, and a menu that's well worth the drive. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Tucson to explore more of what they have to offer! read more

Today we decided to give Teaspoon another try. Even on a Monday, we waited about 30 minutes to be seated -- definitely a sign it's a popular spot. This time, the food was delicious. I ordered the filet mignon eggs Benedict. It was very tasty, although the poached egg was slightly overcooked. My husband got the skillet and absolutely loved it. The real star of the show was the Dutch baby -- oh my gosh! That alone is worth coming back for. The service was great, and we sat on the patio, which was lovely. Overall, I'd give this place 4 stars. We'll definitely be back for the Dutch baby and to try a few different dishes next time. read more

What's Funny is they give you cloth napkins but , no teaspoons! The person bussing the tables brought one glass at a time to set up a table for four . Waiting almost 20 minutes for a table that was empty when we arrived! Restaurant was half empty. And at almost $5 a cup for regular coffee, I understand why and Please, bring me a Teaspoon without me having to ask. read more

It was ok. $18 for a breakfast sandwich with two pieces of overcooked burnt bacon. Hard pass. There was a lot of egg on the sandwich but it was so bland. I had to sprinkle salt for almost every bite. The burnt bacon should have helped but it didn't. Came with a friend. The area is cute. We sat outside. read more

Stopped by Teaspoon for brunch on a Tuesday with a friend on my way out of town. We didn't have a reservation, and even though the restaurant was pretty busy, were able to get a table with only a short wait time. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered the following: Oat milk latte Southwestern Skillet $15 Bubble waffle $13.5 Had to start with my go-to coffee order, an oat milk latte with honey and cinnamon powder. It was pretty solid. Then I chose the Southwestern skillet for my entree. It comes with bacon, black beans, pico de gallo, avocado, potato, roasted corn, jack cheese, and two eggs. I requested no bacon which they willingly accommodated. It was delicious and filling! My friend and I were both craving something sweet, so we also ordered the bubble waffle to share. It's a Hong Kong street waffle with strawberries and house English clotted cream. It was light, delicious, and not too sweet. The menu offers a nice variety--there's something for everyone! read more

One of my top 3 brunch spots in Tucson. Excellent food - I had the Country Chicken and nibbled off the Dutch Baby and a Southwestern skillet. The chicken, gravy, biscuit , egg, and side of potatoes was largely portioned and just so darn delicious. The skillet was flavorful and I like that the pico de gallo didn't overpower the taste or texture. My favorite however was the Dutch Baby... I can't describe it enough except to say it's a must get and you will not regret this sweetness on your table. I also was pleasantly surprised to be able to order a Vietnamese Coffee drip which is a hard find in Tucson at dining spots. Service was fantastic. Despite how busy they were, food was relatively quick in coming out. Indoor and outdoor seating. Tip: reserve ahead of time and get on the waitlist that you can access on their site. It gets busy and the waitlist option was convenient . read more

Food 5* Service 5* Ambiance 5* There. Covered it. This place is classy comfy delicious. Can't go wrong with anything you order there. The Bubble Waffle is outstanding. Everything I've ordered there has been outstanding. I've brought many friends to eat there and they all have raved about it. I enjoy eating outdoors. This is a "can't miss" place, so go! 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs! read more

This was a solid choice for a late brunch on a weekend. I came here with a friend and were sat right away on the shaded patio with lots of fans. It was a nice comfortable space. The waitress was really knowledgeable about the menu and had good suggestions to make. She answered all our questions, which was much appreciated. I ordered the strawberry hazelnut crepes and the chicken apple pesto sandwich, which the waitress recommended ordering with a side of buffalo sauce. I got a side salad with my sandwich, and it was huge, a full plate of salad on its own for a side. The dressing was good. The sandwich itself was pretty good as well. The apple was very subtle and I think the buffalo sauce maybe overpowered it a bit, but overall it was a good combo. The crepes were good as well! read more

I'd been wanting to try this place out for forever, but since I don't live nearby it just hadn't happened yet. Well, my bestie offered to take me here for my birthday brunch, so I accepted excitedly. I didn't even check the menu first, which is usually something I do without fail. When we arrived it was packed (11:30 a.m. on a Friday), and luckily there were two seats available at the bar which did not require a wait. The bartender noticed my Happy Birthday tiara immediately and was so kind in wishing me well as well as being extremely accommodating with coming to get our drink orders right away. My friend got the Prickly Pear Mimosa and I had a Rossini. Delicious, and I rarely get a morning drink! The strawberry puree in the Rossini was a perfect blend with the Cupcake Prosecco! For food, I ordered two things because I couldn't decide and after all, it was my birthday! I got the Croque Madame and the Yogurt and Quinoa parfait. The sandwich was divine! I'd never had this style of sandwich before. The gravy was delicious, the eggs were cooked perfectly, and the cheese melted onto the challah bread which surrounded ham. Yum! I saved most of the parfait to take home, but I absolutely love the combination of banana and peanut butter with the chocolate chips on top, and the quinoa is a nice protein-rich substitute for granola. It was wonderful as well! My friend and I shared the Champinons Al Ajillo, and what a rich garlic-y sauce it was! Using the bread to soak up the juice while piling the mushrooms on worked perfectly. I also tried a bit of my friend's side of seasonal vegetables. It's often hard to find good vegetables when they are just a side, but these were an exception to the rule! They were flavorful and seasoned well. Her potatoes were also tasty, and I don't even like potatoes! I can't say enough good things about the food, drink, and service! Other staff members were quick to offer help if we needed something at any time, which was so lovely. I will definitely make it a point to visit Teaspoon again, regardless of the distance to my house!! read more

Perfect weather for brunch on the patio. Service was great, prices are reasonable. I had the Dutch Baby, which was baked and served in a cast iron skillet. Came out very quickly considering the preparation. We went at 08:00 on a Saturday. Seems like it would get quite busy later in the morning. read more

Typical fancy breakfast place with overpriced food and drinks. Service is below average. The menu has all the winners, but execution is lacking. For example, a sausage skillet using kielbasa that wasn't even fried. Like I said, poor execution. If you go, expect a wait. They do have an online waitlist that helps, so that is a plus. Overall, poor service and overpriced food and drinks. read more

One of my favorite brunch spots in Tucson by far. Love their chips & salsa I always have to order it when I'm here. The breakfast and lunch options are great and always come out fast and hot. Service is also great no complaints there. Can be a very busy spot so prepare to wait a bit. This is always a perfect option for a Saturday brunch, date, or casual meet up with friends. Highly recommend! read more

Teaspoon - Southwestern Skillet, Chips & Salsa, Avocado toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

My husband and I decided to stop into The Teaspoon this morning for breakfast before making a grocery shopping run. We are so glad we did. It was mid-week so parking was easy in the casas adobes shopping center and we were seated within 5 minutes of checking in. The service was great. We had a glass bottle of tap water on the table and we ordered the coffee to start. The coffee was freshly ground and full of bold flavor. It was delicious. I ordered the morning bowl and my husband had the southwestern skillet. He swapped out chorizo for the bacon. The potatoes were nice and crispy and the eggs were soft and fluffy in both entrees. I especially loved the bacon gravy on top of everything in my morning bowl. My husband's meal was equally impressive and the portion size was very generous. It came with fresh pico de gallo and sliced avocado. The restaurant is a nice gathering spot with indoor and outdoor seating. There was a large party of ladies that appear to be celebrating, couples, small groups and individuals. It's a wonderful place for all to gather and have good eats! We will be adding this to our regular breakfast rotation for sure. read more
