I've been to Teaspoon a few times since they have opened a while ago. They have a great variety to their menu. While the selections are good; I find them to be on the sweeter side even after adjusting sweetness to be 25% or below. The store is small, cute, clean. Staff is friendly and smiling. The order took no time to make. I ordered a Guava Sunset with 25% sweetness during my most recent visit which was refreshing yet still too sweet for me. I'd order again and go down to 10% sweetness. Guava Sunset - Freshly blended guava & pineapple marmalade w/ a splash of lemon juice. read more

Drinks first, thoughts after... Teaspoon is conveniently located next to the great ono poke and taco mama. They offer various drinks and overall they are decent. The boba I will say are really good. The perfect texture and sweetness. The tea is not too strong. I am a tea person and this place is more sweet drinks. I always get 10-25% sweetness and even then the ratio is surprising. If I am at the summit and think boba is a good idea, sure I'll grab one from teaspoon, but I would not go out of my way. read more

Teaspoon - Creamy Jasmine, Hojicha Green Tea, Tiramisu Latte - Bubble Tea Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

Nastiest drinks i've ever tasted in my life. cashiers have terrible attitudes and rushed me to check out.

Tea was great. Staff standing around scrolling on their phones for 5 minutes before acknowledging me then seeming exhausted to have a customer was not great. Cute clean little place but room for improvement on the service. read more

Ordered this off their app which was super convenient for the hurry I was in. My friends liked theirs as well and said the coffee was good and strong!! read more

The strawberry milk tea here is super refreshing . The flavor tastes natural, not artificial. The staff were fast and friendly. Cute vibe and perfect for a quick drink. Highly recommended!. read more

The service was awesome! We had lots of questions because it was our first time. They even had a few samples available. The black sugar is bitter at first, but once mixed with the honey boba it is extremely sweet and honey filled. They use honey boba in it. It's good but not my style. I will try something else next time. The place is very cute but inside seating is limited. They do have outdoor seating as well. Join the rewards! You get $3 off just for joining! read more

When I heard there was a new boba place, I had to check it out. It's conveniently located in the Summit shopping center. For a reference point, it is near the movie theater. The menu was clear and ordering was easy. The drink I ordered was mango and I got it with Tajin added. I also added mango popping boba. It tasted good, but I think it could have been blended a tad bit better. Overall, it was nice and I'd probably return. read more

We stopped in on a Saturday evening, it was not very busy and we waited about 5 mins after placing our order. Lots of tea options to pick from! Some with boba, milk teas and plenty traditional teas. Our two drinks totaled $15 so it is a little pricy but a nice experience overall read more

Teaspoon is a cool new bubble tea cafe located in The Summit. It is located towards the back, just past the movie theater, between Real & Rosemary and Taco Mama. The cafe has a cool vibe without going overboard. The store front is crisp and clean with tables sitting opposite the kitchen area. You'll find a menu board on your left but you may want to visit the website and sign up for rewards beforehand because they have a lot of options. They are currently giving samples of Guava Sunrise and their house milk tea. Both are delicious. If you come early enough you will find the display case filled with a variety of cakes, marshmallow rice treats, brownies, and delicious macarons. When I arrived I was greeted warmly and had to wait in a short line. I was offered samples of the above mentioned drinks but I already had my mind made up. I wanted the Strawberry Colada with peach boba. The gentlemen behind the counter helped me set up my rewards account and offered help in creating my own drink if I wanted. I waited next to the pick up area and watched as the crew created my drink. Once finished, I was presented with my drink, napkins, and a biodegradable bamboo boba straw. I took my drink to go. As soon as I reached my car, I pierced the film and took a drink. This drink was absolutely delicious. I can not wait to go back and try all the other flavors. The only reason Teaspoons doesn't get 5 stars is the fact that the display case was completely empty 5 hours before closing time. Maybe they had a rush or just misjudged how many items they needed. I'll be back and give them their remaining star if I can try anything from that display case. read more

Checked out the new boba spot and was very pleased! First off the vibe is very cool. Trendy without being overly modern. They were very well staffed and even though we stood in line, it moved very quickly. There's a menu of drinks that are pre designed. Lots to choose from and a wide variety! You can also build your own. I do wish that menu was somewhere other than the register because I didn't get a chance to look because I felt like I needed to order quickly. The staff was so sweet to my kid and even offered him a few popping strawberry boba. We really liked our drinks. Hubs said the honey boba was good but very sweet. My matcha was the best matcha I've ever had. Super creamy and smooth. I gave it four stars because it is pricey and I don't feel like it was that much better than other boba spots. With tip ours was over $20. Definitely a place I'll visit again but it'll be a fun treat. read more

Refreshing! Service was friendly, inside was clean, and decor was cute. I ordered their Strawberry Sangria with mango boba (didn't realize it was popping boab. Not a fan). A side from the popping boba the drink was 5/5. Great location with an assortment of beverages to choose from. read more

I want to like teaspoon but their boba is not it. The only consistent drink I can almost always rely on being okay is the house milk tea, but even that is mediocre. I've tried the other drinks before and there is never a good balance. Especially their black tea asam...my god that is nasty. It's straight up sugar in your mouth and then super bitter. Their service is also as expected from a bunch of high schoolers. No one greets you. Sometimes I go in and no one talks. read more

Teaspoon - Black Tea Assam (not good!) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

Atmosphere: Teaspoon has a clean and welcoming interior. There are a few tables to sit and enjoy your boba at. Service: The store was relatively empty at the time, but our drinks took a bit longer than expected to come out. Food: We ordered the Lychee on Lychee and Strawberry Matcha Royale with Boba. Even though we requested reduced sweetness levels for both drinks, they were still overwhelmingly sweet. The Lychee on Lychee was otherwise refreshing, but the Strawberry Matcha Royale was overpowered by the strawberry purée. Overall: We were excited that Birmingham had a new boba spot, but we were disappointed with our drinks. Paired with their steep prices, the drinks at Teaspoon did not live up to our expectations. read more

Best matcha I've tried in Alabama so far. I live more than an hour away, but I would make the drive for this matcha. Also, I'm kind of obsessed with matcha. The macarons were a great treat as well. read more

Interesting specialty drinks, not the type of place to order a custom-made boba drink. They were out of tapioca pearls unfortunately because it was too late in the day to make a new batch. The manager Vinh came out to greet me and my friends- very nice! Can't wait to try his business next door, Ono Poke, when it opens. I recommend the taro drinks, you wouldn't guess the chunks are tasty but they are. Cannot customize the sweetness level or dairy-free. read more

Came here today and wasn't sure what to expect. A cute boba/tea/drink place. I decided on the lemonade, added passion fruit as well as passion fruit jellies. It was great! I really liked that I could order different levels of sweetness. I got 50% sweet and it was plenty sweet (I probably could gotten 25% sweet as I felt the 50% was almost too sweet for me). The lady at the counter was so kind and helpful with the menu. Only leaving 4 stars because it's a little overpriced in my opinion as it was almost $9 for a lemonade. Overall, good experience and would come back! read more

Glad to have another Boba option but their Boba tea has not wowed me. Service and ambiance was great. Boba is meh. They have only one size which is pretty large and they fill the cup with ice and there is very little tea. Flavor is very watered down. Overpriced for the little you get. I've tried different flavors to give it a chance over the past few weeks. If I have time I will pass it up and go to Thirstea down 280 where I have enjoyed the Boba much more and you get more for your money. read more

Fantastic boba and great service. We've been back several times and will hit it everytime we are near the summit.

We've been many times now, ostensibly recently 2 days ago. Consistently good with each kind we try.

I saw this was a new place just opened and I had to stop by to try out their drinks! I got the matcha drink and taro milk tea with their special taro topping and it was very delicious! I visited a couple of times after and as they hired new employees their drinks didn't taste very good like when it first opened. Overall I still recommend! This is better than most boba places around. read more

Nice workers! Good atmosphere. Great drinks! Tried this for the first time and was impressed. Will be back.

I always get a Thai tea in fancy boba places like this. It only took about 5 minutes to get my order. The atmosphere was hip, but the inside is very small. There is usually a crowd here, but maybe because we t's new. The tea was good, but it was super sweet! I couldn't drink it all because it was too much. My friend ordered a drink as well, and she said the same thing. She said hers would have made a great base for a rum drink. I will come back one more time on a warm day to try something different. read more

The Summit seems to have no coffee places but I needed a boost, so I stopped here with low expectations (because they seem to specialize in bubble tea) but the golden brew is SOOOOO good. Better than dunkin/Starbucks. 10/10 read more

I am a super fan of boba but I have to say I am a little bit disappointed and just getting upset every time after I come to teaspoon. You can tell the management there is different from the other teaspoon. One time I have seen the employees there took short cut cleaning (not covering the toppings and just spray whatever detergent they use to clean the table and the edge of the topping container when the store is about the close. sure the toppings are super " clean" after that), while the "manager" was actually there just chatting around. This time they put the wrong topping in the drink and they just want to take the toppings out and give me back the same drink. I am paying close to $9 for each drink and I am just getting a milky drink with this taste of sourness from the jelly syrup? I have to ask two times to actually convince them to make me a correct drink, while other boba store won't even hesitate to make u a new drink. read more

Had the brown sugar milk tea and it was delicious, perfect sweetness with a hint of black tea.

there are two mean terrible girls with the absolute worst service they are so disrespectful and rude they barley even serve any boba balls no one wants to pay 10 dollars to drink a juice with no balls read more

The tea is not very flavorful and they fill the majority of the cup up with ice so you don't even get that much boba. I got a lemonade and there were so many lemon seeds in it. read more

I visit boba joints frequently. Anytime I travel I always try a local boba spot. I was excited to try this place out! But here are my notes. The atmosphere is great and the employees are very polite and welcoming. Their tapioca is very good, but the actual drink I ordered (Black Sugar Assam) had no flavor. It was like drinking straight milk, instead of a milk tea. I am very disappointed in the actual product offered which is why I'm giving a 4 star review. However, my friends drink, which I tried, was very good. So it may have been my specific drink! read more

I have always been a boba tea lover and was super excited about this place. The ambiance was nice and the staff was fine at first. I ordered the black sugar Assam. The packaging of the tea was cute, but when I tasted it, it was weirdly bitter and I couldn't even drink it. I headed back in and told one of the staff members that it was undrinkable, and they responded that it was just the taste of the product. All the employees surrounded us at that point, and stared blankly at me. I asked if they could do anything, as there is no way that it was just the "tea" itself. They rudely said no. Not the best experience. read more

I got the black sugar assam and honestly it was pretty subpar. The shop itself was cute, but the staff was a different story. The cashier was wonderful to the people in front of us in line, and to the people behind us, but she was incredibly rude to us when we were at the register. She got snappy at my fiancé for asking a simple menu question, and was curt and visibly annoyed for the remainder of the interaction. We're usually pretty out of place at most shops at the Summit, and I don't like to make assumptions, but she was bubbly and friendly to everyone in the store but us. We were in and out in 5 minutes, and it was 5 minutes too long. We won't be back. Service aside, there's better boba elsewhere. read more
