The Teaspoon — Restaurant in Alvin

What in the hidden gems of Alvin and Southeast Texas do we have here? Tea-friends and self-proclaimed foodies, run don't walk with your pinkies up to The Teaspoon.

Order the Sampler, bring your "but do we have to dress up" friends, or book a reservation for a Tea Party quickly. Sandwich must try is Tuna Ceviche. I know!! That's what I thought. OMGOODNESS TEAlicious!! Pimento scratch-made in-house and like me, opt for it with crackers. Flavored iced teas or have any one of their hot teas over ice but you will swoon over their fine tea selection and teaware. This is where you come to unwind. Strip mall turned inside out and you are transported and given permission to have some of the best tea pairing locally made desserts too. Oh strawberry salad was fresh and adorably presented. Buy some sweet things to take home.

A little birdie told me the owners truly have a heart for community and often feed and minister to others down on their tea-luck so tip BIG because it goes far. Once you're done, walk off the brioche cucumber sandwich at Jill's boutique next door. Thank me later and enjoy yourself. You deserve it. Tell them Mrs. Erika sent you. Oh yeah, ask for the After Dinner Mint or Tea F.F. (almond apricot) tea.

I would like to start off by saying the food was very good, fresh ingredients that come out quickly and are enjoyable. I have been here twice and the food quality is great. This place has a very cute aesthetic that you wouldn’t expect to see in Alvin. It is well maintained and the staff was friendly. I gave only three stars because I felt like both visits were lacking in customer service. Yes the staff were friendly, but hard to get a hold of. I found myself looking around to find someone for a refill and check for some time before someone appeared in the main eating area. The second visit we had a larger group of people eating and refills were hard to come by because again, there were no staff in the main area. It was a little weird and not ideal, but not a dealbreaker. However, it was made clear that “we are closing in 10 minutes” and they showed up to let us know that. Again, this was a larger group who was finishing up around that time. It was quite rude and unappreciated. There is also a 20% gratuity for large parties. This wouldn’t be an issue in the slightest, but I would probably refill drinks and not usher people out the door at a bare minimum. I am unlikely to eat here...

The service and food at The Teaspoon by Day Cocina, which we recently hired for our company's quarterly newcomers event, absolutely blew us away. They were incredibly responsive to our needs and went above and beyond to make sure that our event was a success. They were also very flexible and accommodating, and they were able to work with us to create a menu that would appeal to our diverse group of employees. The food was absolutely delicious! We had a variety of options to choose from, and everything was cooked to perfection. The service was also top-notch. The servers were friendly and attentive, and they made sure that our guests had everything they needed. We received rave reviews from our staff. They all said that the food was amazing, and they were really impressed with the service. We would definitely recommend The Teaspoon by Day Cocina to anyone looking for a catering company for...
