The service is outstanding and only out shined by the quality and consistency of the food that comes out of the back of the house. The sisters that own this place are amazing. I had one complaint on a completely out of the norm day and it was taken care of immediately. Their service is as consistent as their food quality. All of the servers are extremely talented. Sit at Kassie's bar over the weekend if you get a chance! read more

Teaspoon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Let me start of by saying the food here is pretty good. The menu is trendy and fun, but I'm usually impressed by the flavors here. They also offer a decent amount of gluten free options. However, the service is consitenly terrible. I have visited this restaurant multiple times, and every time my meal is either messed up in a way, or the service is slow and the servers are absent. One time I can recall was ordering a crab omelet and finding sand in my omelet, which was already dry. My server brought me another omelet, however it took around 20.minutes to get my remake, and my fellow diners were already finished. On other occasions, servers have been slow with refills, not particularly friendly or professional. Just today, I ordered a turkey sandwich to go on gluten free bread, however when I arrived home the sandwich was on regular, whole wheat bread. As someone that works in a restaurant, I know that the cashier or person who took the to go order should always double check the order, it Is not the job of the customer to ensure the order is right, they should have the confidence of knowing the people paid to do so have taken care of it. While the food is good, my experience is consistent ruined by the service of the restaurant. Unfortunately, I will not be back anytime soon, and I surely hope the managers and owners can address and fix the problems. read more

Amazing staff, great service, tasty food, and top notch coffee! However, the ladies room toilet is always broken when I'm in!! Sad to say I won't be back until I hear the bathroom is fixed. read more

Had the bubble waffle it was well worth it. Also we had the turkey mushroom crepes the were really good too

My first visit was today for breakfast and I really enjoyed the selection on the menu. The hazelnut chocolate crepes were very yummy as well as the ABC omelet. On the negative side was the waiter who when my friend asked for a spoon to stir her honey in her tea was told she could use her knife for stirring. Really? Isn't the name of this restaurant Teaspoon? Hopefully if I go again the wait staff will figure out the proper use between knifes and teaspoons. read more

Went in for brunch was greeted promptly & sat quickly. Our server Bryan did an amazing job in recommending excellent dishes. Very energetic and charismatic. Food was 10/10.. we will be back very soon!!! read more

Hostess was nice seating us, we sat at our table for 10 minutes without anyone approaching us. The server finally came over and was very short and seemed uneducated on the menu. When bringing our drinks she set them on the table without saying a word and walked away. A man brought our food out and my mom asked a question about her side of bacon and he was very snarky and barely even answered her question. The food is good, but won't be returning until some server training has been done. read more

Had an amazing time everyone was friendly especially Robin who recommended some really good choices. She made a wonderful hemp seed smoothie and the strawberry mimosas were amazing! Will definitely be back to try more breakfast entrees! read more

We had a GREAT experience at Teaspoon ! Love the atmosphere, seating inside & outside on a covered patio. Food was delicious ~ highly recommend the mushroom & turkey crepe. Definitely coming back read more

My family raved about this restaurant and wanted to take me while I visited. The menu looked great and I wanted to love it. We waited 20 minutes; not bad for Sunday morning. Our server was friendly and attentive. I ordered the bubble waffle with the clotted cream on the side and two scrambled eggs. The waffle was very good but arrived with clotted cream on it and the "strawberries" that were to accompany it amounted to one sliced strawberry as decoration. The eggs unfortunately were cold. My dad ordered a southwestern skillet which was tasty but lukewarm. My mother ordered the Dutch baby which arrived ten minutes after our other meals had been served. I love Dutch babies. I make them at home all the time. This one was terribly sweet being completely saturated with what I believe was honey. As I said, I wanted to love it ..... but read more

We were seated pretty quickly on a very uncomfortable bench. When we asked if we could sit at a table with padded benches, they told us another party was going to be seated there. After ten minutes, they seated a party of two. It was a smaller party than ours at a larger seating area. Annoying. Coffee was good. Food was good, did take a while to get our food. Everything was correct. Asked for additional condiments. That did take awhile. Everything was a la cart so the meal was very expensive. While the food was good, it was not worth the cost. $75 before tip for a party of three. First Watch is much better, friendlier, more affordable, and hospitable. read more

Ate here for the first time on Saturday and I was BLOWN AWAY by how awesome it was! The atmosphere, the employees, the food. Everything!! Definitely 5 starts read more

I have gone back there for breakfast and found improvement. Food was excellent as before and service much better, even being busy. I'm so thankful owners listen to customers and respond. I've passed the word along to my friends so they know to go again. Thank you and see you again real soon. read more

A very disappointing experience all around. A challenge to describe the poor service and quality of food. We decided to take the family to brunch at Teaspoon for my birthday. It was not too busy when we arrived at 11 am and we were seated fairly quickly while we waited for the rest of our party to arrive. It took about 5 minutes for the wait person to fill our water cups and we asked for coffee at that time. The remainder of our party arrived after about 10 minutes and our coffee arrived 10 minutes after that, warm not hot. We ordered our food when the coffee arrived, realizing things were going a bit slow. Our food arrived in about 30 minutes, not too bad. I had a sweet waffle that was very dry and appeared burnt around the edges- it was actually crunchy it was so dry and had the texture of a store brand toaster waffle. I ate a bit and had to send it back, after another 10 minute wait for the waiter to stop by the table. Asked for more coffee, again not hot when it arrived. While waiting for my replacement waffle, I inquired about the other meals. My sons hamburger was well cooked and tasty although some of the lettuce had brown, wilted tips. My daughter's Pastry Plate seemed to have day old pastry and my wife's Pear Quinoa salad seemed to have only oil in the dressing - not good. After another 15 minute wait and the others had finished eating my waffle finally arrived and confirmed that these were frozen waffles. It was barely warm, dry and crunchy with little flavor. Could not eat the waffle and my wife barely ate any of the salad. The end result, two reasonable meals, two marginal meals and one unacceptable meal (not charged on bill), poor service and me having to go find food elsewhere after an hour and a half waste of time. Note: this is my first Yelp review. The service and food were just so disappointing I had to comment. My wife and daughter had eaten here about a month before and loved it, however this experience was a polar opposite. read more

Tasty food, lovely ambiance, and a great place to meet with a friend or coworker. Would recommend.

Atmosphere is lacking: too open and not enough attention to cleanliness, especially behind the bar. Food quality and creativity sub-par. Coffee was good. read more

The service is pretty slow.. I ordered the bubble waffles and I thought they were to sweet... but the other stuff on the menu looks pretty good read more

Walked in about 9-ish on a Thursday. About 4 other parties of two waiting. Hostess said they were short staff, so about a 20 minute wait. Didn't wait. read more

Super overpriced! A cup of coffee and a super bland skillet with undercooked potatoes, cheese, bell peppers, and sausage (no toast or onions or seasoning) was $17 (not including tip). Food took forever to come out. On the plus side the place is really cute, the menu is interesting enough for me to want to try other items, and the coffee is great. I will probably come back to try something sweet but overall it was disappointing. read more

This place is so good for brunch, decent prices, pet friendly and the food is always fresh. They also have a good selection of traditional breakfast plates and healthy plates. read more

Sadly, we have marketed this restaurant since we came here months ago. This visit today showed okayyyy service and very mediocre food. Most of us wanted more seasoning in our choices. I had a turkey, spinach, egg white serving. this had DELI turkey and not real turkey. Very disappointed. Boring taste. Sorry, but I've been to First Watch and had the same ingredients in a totally satisfying and yummy serving. Almost everyone at the table was disappointed in the food because the seasonings were lacking. All was fresh. Somewhat oily. We waited a bit longer than we wanted to complete our CC payment. But, so sorry to say, the servings needs more thought as to seasonings (and not just salt) to bring a greater depth to the ingredients. read more

Went with a group of about 14 people for breakfast and was very disappointed with virtually every aspect of the dining experience. I ordered the crab benedict and asked that the potatoes be cooked crispy. The crab benedict was average but with a "skimpy " amount of crab for $14. The potatoes were not even warm. The waiter said he would get me " new potatoes ". I had already finished my crab benedict and the potatoes arrived 10 minutes after I finished my meal. There are too many good places to eat, get a nice meal and get good service. If I'm asked where everyone wants to go, it certainly won't be here. I've had 1 very good meal here and 2 less than desirable experiences here. I think I'm done ! read more

I've been here several times and I can attest to the awful service, staff, and wait times others have complained about. However this restaurant has sunk to a new low. When we got there the host was on his computer and said he'd be with us in a minute. We stood there waiting for several minutes feeling largely ignored and clearly less important than whatever he was doing on his computer that just could not wait for 30 seconds. Finally he sat us and we asked to not be seated in Brandon's section. (We've had him as a server every time we've been there, and we never see him after our food is served. We've even had to go up to the counter to ask for our bill after sitting there waiting for him to bring it for 25 minutes after we've finished our meal.) After we sat down I left the table briefly. In that time, apparently the host had gone straight to Brandon and told him we didn't want to sit in his section, because Brandon approached my elderly mother sitting by herself and mocked her by saying "My name is Brandon and I'll be your waiter" with a big smirk on his face and then walked away. When I found out I said if he's immature enough to do something like that then he's immature enough to put something in our food, so we left and dined elsewhere. The fact that he thought it was the right thing to do to treat a customer this way, and was even funny, is appalling. We have a right to ask to sit in someone else's section without fearing retaliation, harassment, or mockery. I've seen the owner Theresa's replies to negative reviews saying this isn't how they do business. But if nothing has changed in all these months, and the staff is now being intentionally rude to customers, then Theresa, my dear, this IS how you do business. And we will take our business elsewhere. read more

I stopped in there for lunch today. The service was lousy, my server, who I thought was a busser because of how he was dressed, (tee shirt and cargo shorts) brought me some ice water and came back about ten minutes later to take my order. I had to ask him what the soup of the day was, and I had to ask for sweetener for my tea. I ordered at BALT (BLT with avocado) half sandwich and the soup. The soup was very good. The half sandwich had only one lonely piece of bacon and a tiny piece of avocado and about half of a whole romaine lettuce. I asked my server, is that was all the bacon the sandwich comes with and he did have someone bring me out another piece of bacon. All in all, I wasn't impressed. The ambiance is great, however, the service and food are so-so. read more

Never, ever, ever again. I was excited to try Teaspoon because they get good reviews and are following "covid protocols", something significant for us as my father is 88 years old and on oxygen. When we arrived, I had my dad wait on a chair near the entrance to the building complex until I figured out where the entrance to the restaurant was. I put our name on the list (20 minute wait), and then went to get my dad so we could wait on the bench out in front of the restaurant. When we returned, there were two people on the benches, not wearing masks. Since the benches are not six feet apart, I asked if he could sit at one of the little empty tables right inside the hostess station, and I would wait outside. The hostess could have simply said no, but instead she was harsh and rude and said in a nasty tone "no, you can sit on the bench or you can stand". I asked if she would politely ask the unmasked people if they would kindly put their masks on so my dad on oxygen could sit there, since the benches aren't socially distanced. She, again rudely, said "no, then you can stand." I stated "is it not clear my dad is on oxygen? He can't stand that long." She shrugged at me and I said, Ok, I guess we'll leave then, thank you. Her response - in the snottiest possible voice - "have a nice daaaaay!". I said, "you don't have to be rude" - her response... "whatever!" We've been trying to do what we can to support local businesses through the last year of craziness, we go out of our way to protect others, we're really patient with all the protocols businesses have to follow. But someone with such a rude, entitled attitude should not be a "hostess". I don't care if they have the best food on the planet or it's a zombie apocalypse and they are the only place left with food in town. I'll eat cactus blossoms before I ever set foot in Teaspoon again. read more

French toast wasn't warm and was tough. Potatoes weren't done and had terrible texture. Steak omelet was bland

We went as a group of 9 for lunch. I called ahead to see of we needed reservations but they were not taking any. The wait time was 15 or less, not bad on a busy Sunday. First question we had was, Is there a grpwn-up in charge? The staff seemed to not be quite at rhe level if similar restaurants in town. The server seemed inexperienced, there was no visable manager. At those prices I expected more attention to details. The server did not know what the soup of the day was, it was after 1. There were bread plates on the table but no one ever brought out bread. Our food took a long time to come out and none if the servers knew who ordered what. In my experience as a server the runners should know where the plates should go. Two of the diners had the same thing with different sides and the orders were mixed up. One had soup so the server move the soup to the other person but not the bread that went with a soup because he said he didn't want to touch it. But I think he was expecting the other person to hand it to someone else, he could have just brought out a new piece of bread. One order came out very late after everyone else's food. The water carafes are only half filled and we had to ask for more water. Two of us ordered soft drinks and we're never offered refills we had to ask. Not to mention my iced tea was the wrong tea, twice. The drinks had very little ice. Another guest ordered coffee and also had to request refill. One soup was brought out with no spoon. The food was very tasty, the soup was delicious, the portions were large, the wraps were gigantic, the prices were appropriate for the quality and location. What was not okay was to leave dirty dishes on our table that were not picked up until after we paid the bill. It was a pretty cold day with the sliding doors open but the staff was accommodating and closed the doors and turned the heater on which made our meal more enjoyable. It has a nice menu and a good atmosphere but the server needed more training. read more

I've been quite a few times now- which should tell you something! The food is great, especially the breakfast options. I appreciate having healthier options, but when you just want a savory breakfast the bloody mary and skillets are spot on. It is consistently getting busier on the weekends, so do yourself a favor and call ahead. I hope they continue the Friday evening happy hours with live music! read more

The pastries and coffee are delicious. The service is great! The food not so much! Highly mediocre. Also the drinks are very very VERY weak. Expect pure orange juice! Also expect no vodka on the bloody Mary! Stay away from the Greek wraps. read more

All I could say for an hour was OMG! I half of the Hong Kong waffle w clouted cream and strawberries an half of eggs Benedict on the recommendation of Ariel our wait staff. It was sooooo! good. The fresh air dining is lovely with umbrella coverage and should be even nicer in the evenings Thursday thru Saturday because of the coverage from west. Go go go I highly recommend. read more

This place is making me give it a star. I would retract it if I could. The underaged staff does not know their system, nor a telephone. They are under equipped, and have no regard for there own mistakes. I can overlook mistakes any day, for I know they happen. But they are unaware that they can make them, and make others feel that they are the problem. My problem is not with the food, for I didn't even make it in. But it's with the rude, young, yuppie staff that ruined my day. They can take a lesson from the Whole Foods next door who knows more about serving than there restaurant does. Never go to teaspoon. Thanks for finally getting back with us. And thanks for not accepting any fault. This is why your not going to do well for long. You can't go around blaming your costumers for your "glitches." How sad you can't even except any responsibility for this. At least train your people. Why give numbers if you can't use a phone. Why tell us "ok," if you can't comprehend what we said. Your people's incompetence is a reflection of your own. read more

Come out and help support this new local restaurant. They serve many healthy choices and also the basic breakfast and lunch. They make homemade pastries and serve a few gluten free options. When they first opened, we were disappointed in the service, but the last couple of times we had Jeremy and he rocks!! :) I think it will only get better. C'mon locals, let's show them a little love. read more

Really good!!! The food was so freaking good! Service was a little slow but other than that

This restaurant should be rated higher than it is. I never leave reviews on yelp, but I felt obligated to since Teaspoon deserves better ratings. Most importantly, the food was EXCELLENT! The ingredients taste fresh and are full of flavor. The menu has a great selection and has quite a few gluten free and vegan options (for those who care about that). We had the breakfast grilled cheese, breakfast pizza, bubble waffle and Vietnamese coffee. All of which were fantastic and I would eat/drink them again. Our order came out quickly. The service was welcoming, friendly and prompt. The restaurant itself is beautiful with a great patio. This is probably the best breakfast/brunch restaurant on the northwest side of town. Couldn't recommend it enough. read more

We took a client to Teaspoon today & was much less impressed than we were on our first visit to the restaurant. The service was average at best & the food was "just OK". We started off with the tempura plate which did not come with any type of dipping sauce. We just assumed it was left off of the plate. When we asked about it, our server said he would find us something & brought back a tureen of sriracha mayo (interesting choice). I just felt like something was missing today & really want to like this place a lot. If today was my first time going, I think it would probably be my last. I will however, give it one more chance. read more

We had a fabulous brunch at Teaspoon. The bubble strawberry waffle is divine. Cool, comfortable seating in a chill atmosphere. We will definitely return! read more

Our first time going to this restaurant, we were slowly put off by the waiting time being 30 minutes. However being Sunday, around 10:30am it was expected. So we just waited until it got around the 30 minute mark until people who had arrived after us had been seated before us. My girlfriend went up to ask about this confusing matter was told they were just getting our table ready, a couple minutes later the hostess came to us directly to seat us. As for customer service at this point, not exactly impressed with either hostess that we had talked to. After being seated we knew exactly what we wanted because we had looked up the menu prior, so we were able to put in our order asap. The food didn't take long at all to arrive, however as we were waiting we noticed other couples were also have similar issues my girlfriend and I had had with the hostesses, which made it a little disappointing. Anyways, our food arrived and for $15 for a filet mignon eggs Benedict I expected to be better that just mediocre, the muffins were overly soggy, not bad at all just didn't live up to what I had expected. The cappuccino I had ordered was very good though, the foam was thick and plentiful and the coffee was smooth and wasn't too biter. For my girlfriend she had ordered a ham and cheese omelette with their sausage gravy on the side. We both agreed it was basically 75% greasy ham and 25% cheese. The entirety of the omelette had pools of butter and overall just quite saddening. My girlfriend uses gravy for her omlettes and even that didn't make it taste any better. The gravy itself had a very subtle taste, also presentation was pleasing. The only decent thing about the meal was the side of toast and jam! The bread was very good along with the raspberry jam (I believe) it came with. Overall these could just not be signature meals at Teaspoon and they are just hit and miss with their meals. Like their bubble waffles we heard of and saw another customer got. So we will go again, and ask the waiters what they believe is to be the best of the menu then decide if the restaurant overall is worth their slightly high prices or not. read more

Great Hong Kong waffle!!!! Love the outdoor sitting. The Vietnamese coffee is a little too sweet for my taste and needs stronger bean. But all other dishes have always been well executed. Nice place! read more

This place was so good! Have been here already twice since opening. Their O.J. is the best and the Vietnamese coffee was delicious. Was the first time I had ever tasted it. Staff was super helpful and always checking in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. In a great location, can work out then grab something healthy and delicious to eat! Am definatly coming back. read more

This place is great!! Everything is new, the staff was friendly and the food came out fast. The food is delicious, I recommend the Breakfast Bowl, AMAZING! read more
