    Bubble Waffle
    Millie C.

    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.

    Lobster and Crab Omelette
    Lexi S.

    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.

    My girlfriend and I were in Oro Valley so we decided to try this place for brunch. It was quite busy, but we were able to get in around 1 PM. We ordered waffles and also the chillequiles which were tasty. The ambience was casual and chill. Overall we received good services and there were other items on the menu that I wouldn't mind coming back to try.

    I prefer this location better than the east side, love the patio space. Service was fast, food was great and their chai latte was delicious. We ordered the savory crepe and vanilla French toast. Definitely will be back!

    First time we went today. We saw a young lady went and post it on her TikTok so we had to try it and it was great.

    I FINALLY tried this place. I don't really like to wait to eat and I had Monday off so I figured the way it wouldn't be that long. I ordered their eggs Benedict with filet mignon and boy it was delicious!! No wonder this place is so popular. It had a great ambience. Nice outdoor seating. Great service. This definitely will not be my last visit

    Chilaquiles de pollo

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Bubble waffle
    Madelynn F.

    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

    Chilaquiles con Pollo
    Candii B.

    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!

    Is this restaurant dog friendly?

    Hello! Yes, you can bring your dog! Fun fact: Not all restaurant patios have a permit. Our patio has a dog-friendly permit regulated by the Health Department.

    Is this the sort of place where one can bring a laptop and work or just an "eat and leave " kind of place?

    It's generally pretty busy, and limited seating. Perhaps on a weekday, but not a weekend.

My friend tells me they have a turkey sausage option for those who don't eat pork sausage. Our waitress was very friendly, kept our waters filled and checked in on us often. All our food was well prepared and there were plenty of left overs. My mocha cold brew was full of flavor and not too sweet with lots of that coffee flavor shining through. So glad I ordered that with the optional whipped cream on top! Thanks to our friends information we received a military discount on our order. We won't see our friends for a while and we sat at the table talking. After paying our tab the waitress let us know we could stay to visit and offered to refill our waters if wanted. Very sweet.

I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, friendly service and overall character of the place.

    These Pastries Should Probably Be Illegal…read more Prep & Pastry has been serving Tucson since 2014, and after eating here, I completely understand why they've built such a loyal following. This review is only about the pastries because the rest of their menu deserves an entirely separate review. The first thing I noticed was how incredibly light and airy everything was. Every bite felt fresh, fluffy, and perfectly balanced. The frosting wasn't overly sweet, and nothing tasted heavy or overwhelming. As I've gotten older, I've become much more conscious about what I eat. Surprisingly, these pastries never leave me with that "I shouldn't have done that" feeling. They're indulgent without being excessive. Now let's address the real issue... I always buy two. Not because I'm planning ahead. Because I know exactly what's going to happen if I don't. I'll eat one in the parking lot, sit there for a minute pretending I'm satisfied, then make what is almost certainly an illegal U-turn and head back inside for another. At this point, I believe the owners should stand trial in a savory Food Court of Law. Dun... Dun... "In the Criminal Food Justice System, pastry-based crimes are considered especially delicious. In Tucson, the dedicated foodies who investigate these sugary felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Pastry Unit. These are their stories." Prep & Pastry is guilty of making "I'll just have one" the biggest lie you'll tell yourself all week. Whether you're stopping by for breakfast, brunch, or simply because life is better with a great pastry, this place delivers. WIT Inspection Score: -- Truly Among the Best.

We assumed it would come iced, which is our mistake for assuming. When our order came out, the matcha was hot. We went inside and politely asked if there is any chance we could get it iced instead since there was no option on the iPad. The owner herself took the drink and remade it, which we appreciated, but her attitude toward us after was unnecessary. She told us that next time we should order directly with them because we just "wasted their cups" and so on. We apologized again and explained that we would have selected iced if the iPad had actually given us that option, but she didn't really acknowledge what we were saying. What made the experience more disappointing is that I work in coffee myself, so I understand what it's like when things get busy. I chose Barista Del Barrio out of all the coffee shops in the area specifically because I'm Latino and wanted to support a Latino-owned business. I even tipped when I placed the order on the iPad, so I was disappointed with how we were treated over something as simple as an ordering-system issue.
