Brunch restaurant Teaspoon quietly opened a sister establishment near campus, Teaspoon Cafe.

The new business at 1927 E. Speedway Blvd. Ste 109. features a predominantly black and white interior with a few warm light and wood accents. With early and late hours, the tables and bar tops have already become a study spot for University of Arizona students.

While Teaspoon Cafe primarily focuses on coffee, tea, and boba, it also offers a small selection of pastries and other food.

Menu items range from about $1.50 for a cookie to $9 for acai. Pastries are $1 with the purchase of a drink.
