One of my favorite places to go for brunch, although having a reservation is much easier than going and waiting because it is quite a busy restaurant! Make sure to try their bubble waffle, we usually get one for the table to share. They additionally have quite a few dishes to try, both savory and sweet options. And being vegetarian, they are able to accommodate quite a bit of options for us! Would definitely try one of their more unique dishes. such as the savory French toast. read more

My first visit to Teaspoon's newer location was actually a good experience. However, it was not busy that day, so I don't think I got to see how the restaurant handled a busy Saturday. Today, my partner and I arrived shortly after 10:00 AM on a Saturday. The restaurant was busy, so we expected there to be a wait. We gave the receptionist our name and phone number and were told the wait would be about 15 minutes. After waiting 22 minutes without receiving a text or call, we went back to make sure our phone number had been entered correctly. We were then told it would be another 15 minutes. We waited another 25 minutes and noticed several parties arriving after us and being seated within about five minutes. My partner went to the host stand to ask what was happening and was told that they had attempted to message and call us and were looking for an opening at the bar for us. This was confusing because we had never received a message or call, and there were visibly open tables in the restaurant. I then went in and asked why parties who arrived after us were continuing to be seated before us. The explanation was that those were larger parties of 3-4 people and that they were waiting for a table specifically for two people. At that point, we decided to leave and go to the original Teaspoon location instead. I understand that restaurants get busy and that seating arrangements can be complicated. The issue for me was the lack of clear communication and the inconsistent explanations about our wait. If there was a specific reason we couldn't be seated, that should have been communicated from the beginning rather than repeatedly extending our wait while other customers were seated. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I can only give this location 2 stars. The first visit was good, but today's experience left a pretty poor impression. read more

I've been here a few times and I absolutely love it. I always get the orange cranberry mimosa with my meals. Today we were celebrating my cousin's birthday and we all enjoyed. Our ourselves. Service was amazing food delectable. I know next time I return what I will be ordering the chicken Chilaquiles I tasted my cousins and outstanding seasoned very well I have the fillet mignon omelette, and the steak melted like butter in my mouth. The burger also looked amazing. We really didn't care too much for the crabcakes as there was too much filler read more

We went here for breakfast on a cloudy, cool Tucson morning. We didn't have a reservation, but got seated right away on the patio. Decent seating inside as well, although noisier inside. I'm not sure if the servers have set sections, but we had three different people help us with beverages and the menu questions, but then one server took our order, delivered our meals, and kept our coffee filled. Some unique items to choose from. I had the lobster and crab omelette which had real seafood in it, not imitation, with sourdough toast. My friend had the savory crepe that came with some mixed greens. We both enjoyed our meals and our experience there. read more

Got right in on a busy weekend and they kept the tables and guests flowing smoothly so no one had to wait very long. We did sit at our table over 5 minutes before being greeted, but that's okay. I ordered the bubble waffle, which was surprisingly delicious! Swapped out blueberries for the strawberries and it was a great choice. Husband got the chicken smothered in gravy. He said the gravy was good, but the chicken was mediocre. Home fries were a little on the crispy side, but were also tasty. Plenty of parking. The restaurant was very clean all around. read more

Teaspoon - Bubble waffle - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Teaspoon is a good spot for breakfast or brunch - the indoor seating is cute and bright, and there are also options for outdoor seating if you're looking for a dog-friendly space. We've been here twice and have left overall satisfied with our meals. What we've tried so far: - Croque Madame: my husband's favorite of the dishes we've tried, the sausage gravy that tops the sandwich is delicious and it's very filling - Country Chicken: fried chicken breasts served on top of biscuits and topped with sausage gravy (which was a bit overwhelming in amount, my dad said he would probably ask for it on the side in the future but liked the dish), comes with a side of fried potatoes - Morning grilled cheese: fancy take on grilled cheese on challah bread which my mom loved - Veggie omelet: standard but tasty omelet, filled with mushrooms, spinach, bell peppers, and cheese (recommend some Tapatio or other sauce to add more flavor), comes with side of challah toast, butter, and jam - Avocado toast: pretty good, but not amazing, served on sourdough - Savory Dutch baby: huge portion, served in a cast iron skillet, interesting mixed of sweetness from the pancake and salty and spiciness of sausage and cheese, it was worth trying but not sure if I'd get it again - I'd probably try the sweet Dutch baby next time Recommend stopping by Teaspoon of you're looking for a spot to bring guests in the northeast side of town! read more

This was my second time dining here and I wish the service was as great matched the taste of food. I had the savory crepe which I enjoyed and my wife had the loaded baked potato skillet which she thought was ok but would not order again. While I really enjoy sitting outside, our waiter was nonchalant at best, but probably more closely aligned to disinterested. If a customer has coffee, it would be nice if he came back and asked if I would like a refill. It states it on their menu and that seems like a common courtesy. Our waiter never checked on us until the end. I really want to like this place, but the service needs improvement. read more

We arrived about 9 am and were seated right away-chose to eat inside although the outside seating looks like it would be nice in cooler weather. We were waited on soon after sitting down and ordered a drink. There is a broad drink menu but I had the coffee latte with the hazelnut flavor. I had the coffee poured while the milk was steaming and when it came it stayed warm enough to last through a couple of cups. We both had the bubble waffle with clotted cream and strawberries. It was certainly delicious but would have loved even more strawberries. We each had a side of bacon also. The flavors for the waffle with the were really good. The waffle is large and couldn't eat all of it but ate all the strawberries and put a dent in the clotted cream. Our server was attentive throughout the meal and we enjoyed our meal. One drawback at the location is the limited parking. For some reason there is a lot of restricted parking so can't get that close to the restaurant. That's a.problem for all the businesses in the complex no doubt but it is a drawback. read more

Wasn't impressed with my second visit to this place. I set at the bar and had a waiter that wouldn't smile or make any eye contact. That completely ruined the experience. I decided to try their bubble waffle....not for me...the English clotted cream was incredibly sweet and my waffle was not cooked evenly...big fail. The place is very nice I just wish the wait staff was more pleasant. I understand it's busy but I don't think it's a good excuse. read more

Food was meh, service was great, but the determining factor was how many mosquitos were in the restaurant. Have never been in a restaurant with that many mosquitos. Must have counted at least 7 different mosquitos swarming around customers. Made the experience and ambiance unbearable. read more

Beautiful restaurant in a wonderful location -- perfect spot for a work luncheon. The ambiance is inviting and it definitely gets busy, so I recommend making reservations in advance. Most of the dishes were delicious, though several were on the heavier side. The loaded potato casserole had way too many potatoes and felt a bit overwhelming. The filet mignon was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly, but the mashed potatoes were very rich -- something to keep in mind. The grilled shrimp were good, but nothing particularly impressive. The chicken chilaquiles had great flavor, though they were drenched in sauce, which made the dish feel a bit heavy. On a brighter note, the prickly pear mimosas were super refreshing and a standout at the table. Service was fantastic -- our waiter was attentive and consistently checked in on us, which made the experience even better. Overall, a great spot with solid food and excellent service -- just be prepared for generous, hearty portions! read more

Came to celebrate a friend's birthday! We got a nice table that comfortably fit 7 people. I got the breakfast parfait and French toast. Both were okay. I'd maybe try something different next time. Service was extremely attentive and I appreciated that the waiter had a lot to say about the menu. I believe his name was Chance? He had a lot of tattoos and piercings and I believe he was from Texas. He definitely made the experience fun and enjoyable. read more

Came in for brunch with my wife on a Saturday around 10:30am. We were able to be seated right away at a table inside. Even with misters, it was too hot for us out on the patio. My wife ordered the chilaquiles with chicken and I got an egg white omelette. Our food was tasty and the staff was attentive. We even ran into some friends on the way out. Teaspoon is a great addition to this shopping mall. read more

We had a great brunch experience here! We ordered the chilaquiles and they were really good flavorful, and very satisfying. For dessert, we tried two Dutch baby. One of them wasn't really my favorite, but the other one was amazing and definitely worth ordering. Service was awesome from start to finish, and the restaurant was very clean. The atmosphere was perfect for a girlfriends' brunch bright, relaxed, and welcoming. Even the bathroom was super cute, which I always appreciate! Overall, really good experience and I'd definitely come back. read more

I absolutely love the simple, refined look of this place. The space feels clean and welcoming, with both indoor and outdoor seating available. The outdoor seating is mostly covered, which is a nice bonus no matter the weather. The service really stood out--our waitress, Jasmine, was outstanding. Friendly, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our visit. We came specifically for the bubble pancakes, and they did not disappoint. They're definitely something different--slightly more dense than traditional pancakes, and you can add as much clotted cream as you like depending on how sweet you want them. It's very much a dessert-style pancake and a fun treat. One thing to note is parking. While the parking lot itself is large, it's shared with several other stores, which made finding a spot a bit challenging during breakfast hours. Overall, a great experience with excellent service and a unique menu item that's worth trying. We'll definitely be back! read more

We went there for Sunday brunch and there was a wait list for 20 minutes which was fine. They had ample parking and outdoor seating. Our server was quick to sit us down. As for drinks, my husband was impressed by the freshly squeezed grapefruit juice and loved their fruit smoothie. Food was excellent, Eggs Benedict good and the grilled cheese was loaded with eggs and cheese. If you're seated outdoors, ask to be seated on the far left so the fan would blow the water mist your way. The place was packed but worth the wait! read more

I've been a fan of Teaspoon for years and tried the new location and it did NOT disappoint! I often had to wait awhile at the original location, but this spot was bigger and I was pleasantly surprised to be seated right away on a Sunday morning. I loved the decor and the plaza it's located in is super cute. However, it was very loud, I'm not sure if there's a way to mitigate that but it felt like I had to talk very loud to my friend. Our server, John was awesome! We split the bubble waffle which is always amazing and I tried the southwestern skillet for the first time. It was my favorite item I've ever had at Teaspoon; huge portion and balanced flavors. For drinks they have a full bar, barista set up and smoothies which makes it an ideal brunch spot. I enjoyed a hazelnut latte with my meal. read more

Nice to have a Teaspoon closer than the one on Oracle. Food was good. We have tried to eat here before but the wait was too long- getting on the waiting list before leaving home was key. The breakfast bowl as tasty- the gravy, egg and potato were a terrific combo. My companion had the egg parfait which was beautiful but reminded me of something from one of the cooking competitions on TV where they talk about "deconstructed" food. She enjoyed it though! I will definitely be back to try some of the other menu items! read more

Teaspoon - Lobster and crab omelette, country fried chicken and lattes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Last Saturday, I tried to make reservations for a Sunday brunch, and was told no reservations day of and weekends only for parties of six or more. Okay, the four of us went on Sunday without reservations only to find we could have called ahead to be put on a waitlist. This would have been useful information. We basically went into our visit to teaspoon with low expectations. Thankfully, our experience went far better than we thought it might. We had a great server, Malia, I believe. She got our adult beverages to us quickly. The entrees were excellent! I had the filet mignon Eggs Benedict, and oh my gosh, it was amazing. My husband had the waffles with fresh fruit and vanilla sauce. He looked like he was in heaven. I tried a bite, and wow! Perfect. One of our friends had the mushroom omelette and was very happy with his choice. Another friend had the filet mignon entree and enjoyed it as well. We were all so thrilled with how good our food looked, that I totally forgot to take any photos, which tends to happen when I'm starving. Oops. I've been in this space for every restaurant that has been here. It's a pleasant light filled space with a lovely patio. I think they could consider getting a person with a touch more positivity and helpfulness to answer the phone, but other than that I wouldn't change a thing. I am very happy to have them in the neighborhood. read more

Cool and quaint restaurant with beautiful atmosphere and decor. Our hot and iced coffees were so delicious and our breakfast of chiliquiles and breakfast bowl are amazing. Probably the best chilaquiles we've ever had. Also also had a fantastic server named Kate who was enthusiastic, friendly and sweet. She made our first time visit great. read more

This is my first time back to this location since I attended the grand opening influencers event as an Official Yelper. I had my birthday brunch here on a Saturday morning recently and had a great time. It's in a beautiful shopping center so plenty of parking. I noticed the patio is more covered and set up. Inside has lots of table, booth and bar seating although we (3) had no problem getting a table. Server was fantastic, friendly and fast. The food was delicious and decadent .. I mean crab/avocado & filet mignon as eggs Benedict options come on!! Drinks and atmosphere completed the vibe! Love this new brunch Spot! read more

What a gem for breakfast! Thanks to Yelp, I found Teaspoon for a working breakfast. You would never find it on your own, as it's hidden in the corner of a Whole Foods shopping center. First, the food and service are excellent. Best breakfast in the area, hands down! The indoor seating is loud, unfortunately, so we enjoyed the relative quiet on the outdoor patio: NOTE: I was surprised they don't have public WiFi, which was something one would expect at a coffee and breakfast hangout. We improvised by going to the library next door. read more

Like this location better than the original one. Located in the nice complex. Easy parking with plenty of parking spots in the parking lot. Nice, clean, neat & pretty decoration inside.

First time at the newer Teaspoon River & Craycroft it was busy , humming at 11am-ish Thursday morning . Plenty of tables , booths , a long counter inside , and two patio areas outside. Met a cousin with a surprise visit from out of state to catch up after 9 years , " Tis the season " ! I've had the steak Benedict at the oracle road casas adobes location. some time ago , a winner & temptingly to reorder again . Trying to venture out with something new tempted to try the German pancake in skillet but fun server Molly when asked a suggested the Hong Kong street bubble waffle which we both tried . The bubble texture was tasty & cool looking with a very sweet cream butter it seemed topped with strawberries .Quite the opposite of the steak Benedict's more traditional flavors . It was quite rich , light yet very filling with the sweet cream butter & syrup almost didn't finish it all , unusual . No regrets tried something new ! Big creative & traditional menu choices with breakfast , brunch & lunch. Pictures of visiting pet dogs of the week were on the bulletin board in the back , fun & I assume allowed on patio didn't see pets inside. Molly our server & support team all very friendly , efficient , & attentive. The decor was fresh , modern , & .comfortable . Close to home it was a great spot to reunite and reminisce. read more

I was here with a group of friends this weekend to celebrate a birthday, and as expected, I had a delicious meal! I ordered the egg parfait which came with bread to eat with it, along with fruit as well (I got no melon). You may not expect the egg parfait, but it really is such a savory treat. With potatoes at the bottom, the poached, bacon, and green onion, it all just blended so beautifully and is really yummy. It is $15 which may seem kind of high for the small jar, but I'm glad it at least came with the fruit and the bread. Because I thought I might still be hungry. I also got the tomato soup. I usually would not order a tomato soup, however, I've tried it before a teaspoon, so I knew I liked it. This together was enough food and filled me up! I also got a tropical smoothie which I was disappointed in. The description states mango, peach, strawberry, pineapple, and orange juice. However, drinking it, it just tasted like thick orange juice.. I definitely think they need to lighten up on how much orange juice they're putting in it. Service was good and we all enjoyed the time in the food . Thank you teaspoon! read more

Hands down delicious. Beautiful place. Simple, modern, clean. Service was wonderful. Nothing to change here

Danny E's detailed account of our recent visit was spot on. We were initially told that we'd be seated in 15 minutes-no problem-right? Wrong. We ended up waiting for 45 minutes outside without a reasonable explanation . The temperature was a sweltering 95 degrees, and there was only one out of 2 swamp coolers on. It's puzzling why no one was monitoring the waitlist or checking in to see if anything was needed. The time kept changing, going from 15 then 27 minutes to 40 minutes, without any explanation. The hostess kept apologizing but offered no compensation for the inconvenience. We had to ask for water and complimentary coffee,a minimum gesture for the extreme inconvenience. We got water but no coffee. Danny E mentioned that there were empty tables inside, so it wasn't clear why we couldn't be seated there sooner. However, it seems that the wait time for a party of five is longer than for a party of two, which is an unfair practice based on other reviews. After a 45-minute wait and three touch-ins with the hostess, we finally got seated. The food was good, but it felt like a waste of time since the meal from order to check was as long as our wait time! This is unacceptable! We suggested to the manager that water and coffee should be available outside for the wait, and that more chairs were needed. The manager indifferently thanked us but didn't promise that things would change. So, until they address the seating and waitlist issues, I won't be returning or recommending this restaurant to others. It's a lot of time to wait for a quick meal. read more

Came in for one thing and one thing only: the Hong Kong style bubble waffle! My spouse promised me poffertjes which are a favorite of mine and which this decidedly is not, but it's good on it's own merit. This is a waffle, a little denser than typical and bubbly shaped. Served with powdered sugar, clotted cream and strawberries. Our server put the clotted cream on the side, which was a good call. I wish we had double or more berries as that freshness helped balance the density of the waffle. I wish we could return, because the rest of the menu looked really good and the space was lovely, but we likely won't be back in Tucson for a while. read more
