Teaspoon Foothills — Restaurant in Tucson

Had a wonderful experience here from the service to the food! We walked up without a reservation on a Saturday around noon, were greeted by the friendly host, and waited about 15 minutes for a party of 2. The interior decor gives off a polished, clean look while still maintaining a comfy vibe.

I got the Country Chicken with an added egg, and it was hands-down the best chicken and biscuits I've ever had. The breading on the chicken had a satisfying crisp, while the chicken itself was juicy and tender. The gravy had an exceptionally balanced flavor. Most gravies are too heavy for my liking, but this gravy was pleasantly on the lighter side. I usually love adding a bit of heat with a hot sauce (Tapatío for many foods), but the flavor balance on this dish was so delicious that I felt the hot sauce actually spoiled the taste a bit. That's saying a lot for my palette.

The biscuits were amazing as well. It was a surprisingly layer of taste when I finally got a piece of the biscuit with my bite. Great texture in the bite, and it blended perfectly with the flavors of the gravy and chicken.

The dish came with a small side of potatoes which were well-cooked and offered a nice flavor contrast.

We also tried to Challah Vanilla Bean French Toast. It was excellent as well. The creme angalaise and berries were fresh and flavorful. I'm definitely going to order it again.

Overall, it was an outstanding experience, and I'm going to be recommending this place to my friends....

If you’re searching for the best breakfast or brunch in Tucson, this spot is a must-visit. We absolutely loved our meal! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.

We ordered the Challah French Toast and a Bubble Waffle – both were incredible, but the crème anglaise took the waffle to the next level with just the right amount of sweetness. The Three Little Pigs Omelette was hearty, savory, and loaded with flavor. To top it off, our café au laits were rich and delicious – the perfect breakfast pairing.

Service was just as memorable. John, our server, was outstanding – warm, welcoming, and attentive from start to finish. The atmosphere is bright, inviting, and perfect for a casual breakfast or weekend brunch in Tucson.

We’ll definitely be back, and we highly recommend this place to anyone looking for where to eat breakfast in Tucson or planning a Tucson...

Tried Teaspoon (on River) for the first time. Was there at noon on a Sunday and there was a wait but 2 seats were open at the counter so we chose those.

The food was outstanding! I asked the waitress "for a first timer at lunch should I try the burger or the Morning Bowl?" She said "You can get a burger anywhere, go for the Bowl." I'm so glad I did! Fluffy eggs over homestyle potatoes, with bacon crumbles throughout. All topped by a wonderful biscuit style gravy. Everything was cooked perfectly.

Husband had the Country Chicken, also cooked perfectly. I tried a bite and it was flavorful, with a completely different taste from my bowl even though both had gravy.

Very clean restaurant and sitting at the counter I observed everyone doing their part.

Per other reviews it is quite noisy but the atmosphere is joyful and I didn't notice the sound after...
