Terrible service and terrible wait time. Server kind of rude. The food was decent, but the service completely overshadowed the experience. We waited far too long to be seated. Overall, the poor service and excessive waiting time made this a frustrating visit. read more

I stopped by with a friend for an early lunch on a Tuesday and it was packed! We didn't have reservations but they seated us within 10 minutes. The menu is a mix of dishes that are Southwest inspired, French, Asian, and American brunch classics, as well as specialty beverages such as Vietnamese coffee. Their Hong Kong bubble waffle had been on my radar for a while so I was excited to try that. I also also breakfast a la carte; two eggs scrambled with a side of avocado and toast. My friend orders the Southwest skillet. We shared the bubble waffle and couldn't quite finish it, but it was tasty! The service was friendly but a little distracted. Our waffle was forgotten, but when we mentioned it, it did come out pretty quickly. read more

Getting served a single ingredient drink wrong three times in a row is incredibly disappointing. And then getting met with disrespect when you tell them is wrong. Won't go back. read more

I was very disappointed with food i have ordered Eggs Benedict and when it came to my table and i started to eat I realized that food was cold I ate one but, I was not able to eat the other. The presentation was very good your eyes were very pleased but when you started to eat you were very disappointed. My friend food was good she was very happy. Service was okay and ambiance was nice. Overall I'm very sad. read more

My last experience at teaspoon was underwhelming. Afterward, the owner proactively reached out to me to apologize and invite me back. She acknowledged the issue and promised to address the policies. I love teaspoon so much, I wanted to get back to visit before I left town, I was able to go back this morning and bring a friend. I had the morning bowl, my friend chose the breakfast pizza, we split the bubble waffle and both enjoyed hot Vietnamese coffees. The food is always amazing! The breakfast bowl was delicious and bubble waffle spectacular with the clotted cream and strawberry. My friend has been to teaspoon many times and said the breakfast pizza was his favorite dish so far. Tito, our server, was very upbeat and attentive. He took extra care to make sure our coffees were hot and not overly sweet, delivered our food promptly, and followed up with us without interrupting our conversation. Truthfully, he was way ahead of us with requests - he could totally have a side-hustle as a mind reader. I've been coming to Teaspoon for at least two years, and Tito's service of our table was a 10/10. In my video of the Vietnamese coffee you can hear that the restaurant has a nice calm atmosphere. I love coming here to work because it's so relaxing and despite being busy it's not overly loud. Our seating was comfortable, parking was abundant, restaurant clean, service first rate, and food absolutely delicious. Whatever happened on my last visit is forgotten. I truly believe whatever the issue was it's been taken care of because I the employees I observed working today were on point and all the diners we're clearly enjoying their meals I believe the owner was very proactive and addressed the difference of care issues and training of her staff just as she promised. I'm happy to highly recommend and suggest you give them a try - I think you'll agree that Teaspoon is one of the best places to grab breakfast or lunch in Tucson read more

Can't believe we haven't been here before today! So glad we decided to try it out. We came in from the west parking lot, accessing the restaurant through the courtyard. Inside and outside were lively with diners. Despite the large amount of people, we were seated and served quickly. I ordered the chicken burger, which was moist and delicious, and so large the chicken went beyond the boundaries of the brioche bun. The fries were crispy and hot. I hope to come back soon and will try some of their other offerings. read more

We came with no reservations and were told it would be 40 minutes. Seeing how popular it was, we were willing to wait. The menu was interesting. It had the feel of southern dishes but then you see Croque Madame, Hong Kong Bubble Waffle and Vietnamese Coffee and it makes me think that maybe the chef has travelled the world. Here is what we ordered: - Champinones Al Ajillo - Country Chicken - Mushroom Burger (delishhh) - Lobster & Crab Omelet (my son loved it) - Hong Kong Bubble Waffle (not the same as the ones in HK but still yummy) Excellent service & food! We enjoyed our leisurely meal out in the patio courtyard in 80 degree weather on this late November day. read more

Teaspoon - Blueberry chicken salad ! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

First off just a note, the dishes were protein challenged. I had the Chilaquiles con Pollo and it truly lacked the pollo.. all of the pollo would have filled a tablespoon. I mean that literally.. Now! The flavors were great, our food and service were great. Atmosphere is vintage breakfast, lively buzz, busy staff, excellent. It was a great experience. My only ask would be more protein for a $17 dollar plate of chips with a couple of eggs. Despite that I would recommend this place for sure. read more

My first time at teaspoon and the service was great! Even though it's super hot outside, the outdoor seating has plenty of fans and misters to keep cool! I got the bubble waffle, which was fine I personally wouldn't get it again though. While it was good it tasted like a regular waffle. If and when I return I will try something else! read more

Teaspoon - Vietnamese Drip Coffee Crab Benedict Lobster & Crab Omelette Buttermilk Pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

"The Breakfast Gods Approve!" Some mornings are meant for greatness--and some are just meant for Teaspoon. The Mrs. ordered the vegetable omelet, which arrived like a work of edible art--fluffy, vibrant, and packed with so many fresh veggies it felt like the omelet had just left a yoga retreat. She took one bite and declared her pleasure. As for me? I had the Strawberry Crepes, and I can now die happy. Pillowy crepes wrapped around strawberries that tasted like they were handpicked by fruit angels, drizzled with just the right amount of joy. I may or may not have made sounds typically reserved for French film scenes involving pastries. The service? Friendly enough to make you wonder if they secretly know you from somewhere--or if they're just that good at being warm and welcoming. The decor is cozy-chic, perfect for pretending you're fancier than you are without needing to iron your shirt. Teaspoon isn't just a restaurant--it's a breakfast love letter. We'll be back. Possibly tomorrow. They also serve lunch and dinner. read more

It's time for an update! I've eaten at Teaspoon countless times over the years now and it really is one of my favorite places for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The food is so good. Everything I've ever ordered has been delicious. On my most recent visit, I got the southwestern salad and it was wonderful. The chicken was perfectly grilled and the cilantro lime dressing was yummy--and they added just the right amount. I also ventured into their hot tea menu and had the Marrakech mint--so good. And perfect for the rainy day I was there. I love the atmosphere. Indoor, outdoor, or bar seating--it's all very cute and comfortable. The service is always solid as well. Tyler took care of us on our most recent visit and he was excellent. I can't wait to go back! read more

Teaspoon is a nice breakfast spot in the Oro Valley area! They have both sweet and savory menu options. Loved both the Bubble Waffle and the Herb French Toast! For coffee I tried the Vietnamese Drip Coffee, which comes out in a cool aesthetic cup, however it was a bit too sweet for my taste. There is indoor seating, bar seating, or an outdoor patio area. Just to note it can get rather loud inside the restaurant when full and they do get pretty busy on the weekends. Always have really great food and good customer service when visiting. read more

We really enjoyed the food and the server was really great! It was chilly ok the patio but they have plenty of heaters.

Waiting for a table took a lot less time than expected. However, the service was all over the place. Someone ordered a dish without cheese and it came with cheese and then the replacement dish took multiple requests to finally make it on the table; the service was a bit inconsistent. The food itself was decent. The savory French toast was a great idea. It could have used more flavor to highlight the savory aspect of the dish. I ended up using hot sauce to complete the dish but wished the dishes would have had a more signature flavor from the start. Great local brunch place but didn't live up to its expectations this time around read more

I have come to Teaspoon twice for brunch. Both times, I thought the food was good. The avocado toast with poached eggs tasted fresh and the eggs were well cooked. I also tried the herb french toast which had a savory gravy. Both dishes were served on sourdough bread which was very mild. I was looking for more of a sourdough punch to the bread. The menu has various sweet and savory brunch options. There are many items on the menu that are gluten free or can have gluten substitutes. The coffee menu seemed pretty standard for a breakfast/brunch restaurant; my latte was average. Both times that I have been, the restaurant is crowded. The noise level was manageable and I was still able to enjoy great conversation. I don't quite remember the service the first time I went. However, my most recent experience left me disappointment. The kitchen got my friend's order wrong and had to remake it (not the end of the world). But then when it was brought out the second time, the dish was delivered to the wrong table, delaying my friend's order even longer. Overall, my experience was good. I am definitely willing to give the service another chance. read more

Busy Father's Day morning at Teaspoon in classic casas adobes shopping mall Ina & oracle sw. Had reservations didn't wait too long on arrival but scrambled " for some shade waiting . A neighbor told me teaspoon her favorite one time ( while at Snooze) but my first time there at Teaspoon and wasn't disappointed. Seems they sat all parties with children outside ? On the far north of patio by the fountain but no misters at our area like closer to the building . We shuffled our chairs to find shade . That said , the food was all great filet mignon Benedict's , omelet , seafood Benedict , Dutch savory pancake , and Buddha bowl for young Grandaughter . Anthony's service was on point thank you ! Suggestion instead of one small quart water bottle to run to refill bring a couple bottles for party of six in the heat? I would return as food very hearty and well presented . ( my 500th Yelp review , as my young granddaughter would say " WOW!" read more

Teaspoon is one of my favorite spots to go for breakfast. It's worth the wait everytime. I went twice over the last week and Tyler was my server the first time and Benni was my server the second time. Both these gentleman were amazing, professional, and knowledgeable about the menu. I went to have drinks and Benni gave great recommendations on the cocktail menu. Tyler was great with espresso upsells - the red eye was great! Add avocado to the crab cake bene - Tyler insisted and he was right! It's an nice restaurant with a lot of light and the option to sit in or outside and at the bar. Would definitely recommend from anything from a date to a quick bite solo. I'll definitely be back for bottomless mimosas! Egg parfait, breakfast pizza, herb French toast, crab cake bene, and bubble waffle are my recommendations! read more

Teaspoon - Brunch menu - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

This restaurant has a nice atmosphere, although the acoustics are not ideal. The wait for a table was reasonable and the service was very good. The brunch menu provides a variety of choices. I ordered the roast chicken plate. This was a mistake. I expected a juicy roasted chicken breast but received flat pieces of chicken with fake charred marks that looked like they were reheated from frozen. The mushy mashed potatoes appeared to be from a box. Thankfully the seasonal vegetables were excellent. So word of caution, if a restaurant specializes in breakfast and brunch it may be better to order one of those items. MP read more

This is my first time eating brunch at this restaurant after hearing good reviews about it. I do not think the skillet that I got was good to me, and maybe I just need to try another food item. The servers were really nice and welcoming, so the service was professional and quick. It is a little hidden spot, and the space is cute. Overall the food just did not hit, but the wild berry smoothie was yummy! read more

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

I wanted to try a new breakfast spot. I'm new to Tucson so I'm still exploring the area. Finding it via sign is a little tricky. I would recommend parking and walking. It's on the bottom of barefoot yoga. There's an indoor and outdoor patio area. I waited for about 10 minutes so they were able to accommodate me quickly even though it was a little pack. I have heard about the bubble waffles but I didn't get it this time. I got the lobster and crab omelette with 2 mini pancakes. The omelette wasn't seasoned to my liking but there was nice chunks of lobster and crab meat. The mini pancakes were chocolate chips and were pretty tasty. I also ordered a smoothie that was pretty good. The service was okay. I would go again read more

The wait is pretty long on a Sunday so be prepared but we didn't care. Our waiter was really great and was really nice about accommodating us when we needed things left out of our food orders. Such a cute place with inside and outside seating. The chai and dirty chai was excellent. The savory crepe is to die for, so great. My daughter ordered the chicken apple pesto sandwich without chicken since she's vegetarian and she loved it, had such great flavors. The avocado toast was huge, as well as the veggie omelette. Everything was perfect. read more

Brunch never disappoints at Teaspoon. I had the French toast with a side of eggs. The French toast was so tasty! The prickly pear mimosa was pretty good but I'd probably just order a regular one next time. The bubble waffle was quite the treat. The cream makes it so so good. It was good to share for the table. The service was great though we were seated in kind of an awkward space by the door. read more
