Folks, it's not a location curse. CREAM was bad, but Teaspoon is just unacceptable.
We ordered 3 items (I'm not going to bother looking up the formal names): the mango smoothie, milk tea (no boba, no ice so I can drink it the next day), and the brown sugar milk tea.
Brown sugar - this was the LEAST worst. Any syrup that went directly through the straw was disgusting. It didn't taste acceptable until 3/4 through, once the brown sugar syrup dissolved with the tea. I finished it, but honestly have had better.
Mango - my daughter has a sweet tooth, and thought this drink was way too sweet. She normally finishes every smoothie I buy her; she didn't finish this one.
Milk Tea - how do you mess up milk tea? Really. Like cheese pizza, you would have to TRY to make it bad for it to be bad. So I bought this with no ice and no boba. I wanted to drink it the next day (today). This drink tasted like chemicals. No sweetness at all. It was extremely watery despite having no water in it. I dumped it after drinking 1/4.
Look, I am a Livermore native. I love livermore. I don't want to see businesses go down here. There are too many boba alternatives in our city and I don't think Teaspoon is going to last any longer than CREAM did, despite being in a great location. Teazen Tea, Li Cha Team, Boba & More, Fat Straw.. there's a lot of competition. There's not a whole lot on Teaspoon's menu so I'm not sure I'd want return to try something else. I got about $10 in value out of the $30 I spent here. Hopefully this place can make adjustments before they take down that "soft opening" banner.
Edit: I was here 11/11 between 8:30-8:45pm.
