Large Carmel macchiato… perfectly made. Bagel with jalapeño cream cheese… tasty. Pricing…good. Definitely will be back and this establishment has my endorsement.

Today I decided to try a new coffee shop out. I was looking for a simple cold brew with ice and caramel syrup. I was slightly disappointed to see how light the cold brew was, it almost looked like tea. I feel like it was diluted with water. Flavor wise it’s a bit too sweet for my liking and I can barely taste the coffee. I specifically asked for just a bit of syrup. I hate leaving reviews like this because I want small businesses to thrive but maybe if they see this they can either 1) let their customers know that their cold brew is an very light roast or 2) choose a better roast for the cold brew that has a bit more flavor. I paid over 4.50 with tip for this… the only reason why I am not giving a lower rating is because the barista was super sweet which I think saved this experience. I hope to try them out again and maybe get a different drink?

I went to the location downtown and not only did I get cussed out by an employee but I was not even allowed to order anything because the person was so rude and told me to leave. I was very disappointed with their behavior will definitely never go there again.

Best staff and great service. Amazing food. My new fav is the Carrot Bisque so amazing perfectly seasoned they have the best coffee and matcha in town. She is so sweet and personable makes me feel safe. The safe are so sweet are the food is always on point. Yeah other offer shoppes are fun but I promise you have never experienced a café like Teaspoons. Thank me later!!

The cherry pistachio matcha latte changed my life. It is so good! It’s sweet but not overly so, and the matcha flavor is subtle, so if you don’t like matcha, you will still love this latte.

I have not been to Tspoons in ages, it was never my favorite coffee place, but wanted to give it another shot and grabbed an iced latte at the new ped mall location. There are plenty of options and I got one of the summer specials- a strawberry latte. At first I was a little shocked by the $7 charge for their smallest size. Quite steep. I assumed it must be really good but I was honestly disappointed in the flavor. Not only was the espresso flavor basically nonexistent, it just also didn’t taste like *good* espresso. The strawberry flavor was very artificial tasting and about thirty minutes after drinking it, my stomach turned and I knew immediately it was the latte disagreeing with me. I think the quality of the coffee must not be good and I wish their offering tasted more fresh.

I stop but here often to grab a coffee which is usually pretty good. The service is great and the atmosphere is small and tight but cute. They definitely try to emphasize buying with them to shop local but I am believe their baked goods and other supply come from Costco so not exactly shopping local. I've seen other businesses that don't have baking space get items from a local IC bakeries so it seemed more local to me. Still good, just something to consider.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's downstairs at the University Capitol Centre, which is wheelchair accessible and there's no door to the actual store, but it might be a tight squeeze

Ordered a cappuccino. Barista had to look up what that was. Then gave me a glass of cold milk with one shot. Coffee didn’t even change the color from white. Embarrassing

This occurred on 6/11 at 1158. Owner replied offering to make right but unfortunately from out of town.

Im not a coffee connoisseur by any stretch, but I enjoy a good latte. Had the pleasure of stopping by this wonderful gem on a visit. Staff was friendly and prompt, facilities are clean and inviting, and best if all delicious. I was even "challenged by the owner" that she could make me a cup of tea id love, and i despise tea. I was shocked when I had to admit defeat after trying her matcha. It's delicious! There's even a diagram of "what's in my drink" on the wall for people like me who have no clue! 5+ stars!!!!!
