The Middle Spoon Desserterie & Bar

I’ve had dessert or drinks here several times. Great place for drinks; I find the desserts overpriced for what you get. Service is always great.

Ive been to this location once or twice now, the bedford one plenty of times. It sadly will be the last for this location.
We went to the middle spoon on Saturday evening, my friend called and booked a reservation for 10:30pm, we actually arrived there at 10:30 and was greeted by a server. Apparently the group before us was ‘taking’ longer so we had to wait. We waited for awhile, maybe 15 minutes? Which was a little annoying.
Once the group before us left, we were seated downstairs. First of all the reservation was for 15 people, there were only 10 seats at the table. So a few of us had to sit with other people and squish. That was very annoying. The worst part, it took another 15 minutes for them to bring a chair. So we gave up and just sat with each other.
Now we ordered our drinks and food together, that was almost a 20 minute wait for the for the drinks and another 15 for the food.
ALSO, in the middle of that they brung out water glasses and started serving them realizing after the fourth glass they were apparently ‘old/​used’. Not to mention almost half our group didn’t get water because they were ‘out of glasses’ when tables around us were empty with glasses on the table.
THEN getting our bill we had to go up stairs and hunt the waitress down to even pay.
Overall I’ve had such a better time at the bedford one, and i completely understand if your busy on a Saturday night, this is why we made the reservation so it would give the restaurant a heads up. But apparently not.

Desserts — ¹⁰⁄₁₀
Cocktails — ¹⁰⁰⁄₁₀₀
The desserts are amazing. The experience begins the moment that spoon touches the dessert and you just know there is something different about what’s on your plate and what you usually get at other restaurants or cafes. Presentation is always great as well as the service.
Getting to the cocktails — Hands down one of the best «old fashioned» I have had in the city!

Desserts and drinks were amazing we will definitely be returning
You gotta try the peanut butter pie

Really cute desert spot. I wish I hadn’t pigged out at dinner so I could actually try one of the pies but yeah, I did eat too much at dinner so I simply had a drink here. I had the spiked apple cider, which was served warm, and was sweet and alcoholic. Our waitress was awesome, she had the best stories ever. After the Middle Spoon, we proceeded to Noble… which I highly recommend…

Best decaf coffee ever! We had the sticky toffee dessert! There is a private speak easy! You need password. Didn’t get to go. Will next time.

I frequent this establishment and I am in love with the sticky toffee pudding and the kale salad ! The environment is inviting and clean with friendly staff and always delicious cocktails.

Went here for my bachelor party last week and have to say it was amazing. First time here and the deserts we got were amazing, had to try all of my friends plates too cause it was just so good.
Tried the Easter Rising drink and have to say for someone who doesn’t usually like booze this drink was amazing, loved everything about it. Also our waitress was awesome for letting us know about the place and offered her own personal input about what we order which is awesome. I will be back for sure.

$ 75 with tip for 4 old fashioneds. That is INSANE! They even charged us extra because we got our drinks with Makers Mark. They charge extra for an already expensive drink. The place was empty on a Friday at 6pm and now I know why. The drinks tasted great and the bartender friendly but this place is hilariously over priced. Unless someone else is footing the bill, I’ll never go back.

Nice atmosphere, pricey drinks (but totally worth it!) and they have the best cheesecake ever… And when I say ever. I mean EVER.

Note to all the vegans of the world: Enjoy the coffee!
Note to everyone else: DROOOOOOL!

Mmm… beer cocktails. This spot offers a lot of cool sounding cocktails, but when we arrived to celebrate Shannon’s first Elite Event the beer cocktails sounded so cool I knew I’d have to try one. And so I did.
I ordered up a Basil Cavity which was made with bourbon, ginger wine, fresh lemon, fresh basil, honey-​cranberry syrup, and apricot wheat ale. It was as good as it sounds. Well, as good as it sounds if you like bourbon and ginger and fruity ales.
And the best part of this whole experience? They give you the cocktail in a glass and the remaining half beer on the side so it’s really like you’re getting two drinks! Or a sip of a lot of different drinks if you slowly keep adding in the beer because it keeps changing the flavors.
Also, word on the street is they have a secret downstairs bar, but if you don’t know the password they deny it to the bitter end. So, get the password peeps.

Went to Middle Spoon last night after Nocturne. One of my friends ordered a glass of hot water with dessert, and when she received it, there was lipstick on her glass.
I ordered a hot chocolate and really did not enjoy it at all (actually left half of the mug there). The whip cream was great, but the hot chocolate tasted as though it was made from a packet with water. And there was most definitely not enough powdered chocolate in my drink (tasted way too watery). Obviously, was very disappointed. If feel as though if creating «sweets» and «drinks» is your specialty, then the hot chocolate should have been amazing. Should have been made with warmed milk and delicious chocolate.
Service was actually quite slow too. We’re pretty sure the waitress forgot our dessert (she looked at us at one point and caught us all looking at her. She quickly turned and went to the kitchen, and our dessert was there two minutes later). Prior to that the manger actually came to our table to ask whether we’d been served. We had been given menus, but that was it.

I bet a lot of the restaurants on Barrington St. aren’t thrilled with The Middle Spoon. Every time customers pass on dessert in the other restaurants, the wait staff is probably thinking, «Oh great, they decided to go to The Middle Spoon instead.» It’s in a convenient location, it’s got ambiance, and of course a variety of desserts.
I was lured in by the blackboard outside the front door advertising their shortcake of the month as peach shortcake. At $ 8.99, it is one of the best deals there, if not THE best deal, IMO. It really should be called peach TALLcake, as the freshly picked and cut chunks of peaches were piled high stacked between layers of shortcake and topped with whipped cream.
It was tempting to accompany this with a cocktail or dessert wine, but I opted for coffee. It was fairly strong (maybe dark roast?) and at $ 3 for essentially a bottomless cup, a great deal.
The music that was playing was really interesting. I wish I had remembered to ask the waitress if she knew what it was. Spotify couldn’t identify it.
Just remember to park a good distance away so that you can burn off some calories after you leave.
