I visited Teaspoon for breakfast on Valentine’s Day and, unfortunately, the experience fell short of what I’ve come to expect. The staff member who checked us in seemed unsure about the seating process, which created confusion from the start. We were seated at a table directly in front of multiple glasses used to serve customers water, which was uncomfortable and raised concerns about cleanliness and safety.
To make adequate space to eat, I moved the glasses aside. Shortly afterward, a hostess returned and placed the glasses back directly in front of me without any explanation or acknowledgment. At the same time, staff appeared reluctant to address a nearby issue where two patrons were occupying an entire section of bar seating. Rather than politely asking them to consolidate or make room—something that would have alleviated the crowding—the situation was ignored, contributing to the overall sense of disorganization. These interactions felt dismissive and unprofessional, particularly given how easily the issues could have been resolved through clear and courteous communication.
There also appeared to be a general lack of coordination and communication among staff, with little sense of urgency during a clearly busy morning. I chose this location specifically because I’ve had positive experiences here before and wanted to share that with someone else, so this visit was particularly disappointing. I hope the team can take this feedback constructively, as better organization and more thoughtful seating decisions would go a long way in improving the overall experience.
Update (2026FEB26) - Still no acknowledgement or response from the resturant. Lol, speaks volumes.

Late lunch was the 1st problem - everyone just wanted to clean and leave so I was largely ignored. I asked for a Buffalo Chicken Salad sub spinach. I got cold fried chicken, thrown on top of spinach that wasn’t cut up and SWIMMING in buffalo sauce and ranch. That’s it. COLD stale chicken, spinach from a bag and buffalo soup. I couldn’t eat it and nobody asked me why. I just paid and left. Even the ice tea was bottom of the barrel, cloudy, too strong and old. This isn’t the 1st time when making a substitution that the chefs just don’t care and throw crap on a plate. Won’t be back. Service is always good though!

We tried several dishes from the menu—the French toast from the sweet section, the filet mignon omelet, and the Southwestern skillet and honestly, I can’t think of a single complaint.
Service was excellent as well. Our server, Tyler, was kind, attentive, and very helpful when it came to the menu. The ambiance is lovely, especially the outdoor patio—there’s a water fountain right behind it, which adds a nice, calming touch. Overall, a fantastic experience from start to finish.
Tyler suggested the French toast and it was excellent. The creme anglaise was absolutely delicious, and the fresh fruit on top made it perfectly balanced. The filet mignon omelet had the right amount of filling, and the cheese was perfectly melted throughout, making each bite great. The Southwestern skillet was also excellent; the potatoes were crispy and flavorful, and the over-easy eggs added a creamy texture that tied everything together beautifully.
For drinks, we tried the grapefruit mimosa, the original mimosa, the prickly pear mimosa, and the Rossini. Every drink tasted incredibly fresh—it really seems like most of their cocktails are made with freshly squeezed juice, which I truly appreciated.
Prices are reasonable, and we had lots of leftovers. Overall excellent experience at Teaspoon and will definitely recommend to others!

I went for Vietnamese coffee and a bubble waffle on a Sunday morning and it was so lovely - both were delicious and it started my morning off right. There was about a 50 minute wait when I arrived, but I was dining alone and they got me in in about 10 minutes.

Caprese sandwich is covered with chunks of raw garlic. Manager refused to try raw garlic or try the sandwich. He said that is just the way it comes. Raw garlic on arugala tomato and mozzarella. It taste like raw garlic.

The breakfast here is delicious! I had the Eggs Benedict with mushroom and avocado and just LOVED it! Service is also excellent and atmosphere is nice. It was quite loud but maybe I am getting to sensitive to noise in my old age. I would still come back because the food is totally worth it!

Brick walls mean it is a bit noisy however the food was great as was the presentation and service staff is delightful.
Food was great, busy as it was a Saturday morning... It was hard to hear the waiter talking and asking questions.

I heard great things about this place and it did not disappoint. I had the crab Benedict and it was delicious. The decor and the environment is clean and modern. The prices are very reasonable too for the quality of food you receive. My server was very nice and I will definitely come back

Absolutely wonderful breakfast spot! Our first time in Arizona and went here twice we liked it so much. The bubble waffle is delicious- the cream that comes with it is so good! We enjoyed other dishes too like chicaquilas and eggs and bacon and the egg parfait. Loved it all! Wish we had one out in Ohio. Amazing service too!

Teaspoon Restaurant was a wonderful choice. I ordered the filet mignon omelette and I have zero regrets — it was absolutely delicious. It came with toasted bread, butter, and jam, and I paired it with a caramel latte that was the perfect finishing touch. The atmosphere is ideal for conversation and enjoying a pleasant moment, whether you’re alone or with company. On top of that, the server who attended me was incredibly kind and attentive. Definitely a place I’d return to. Y hablan español
