While the savory goods are definitely tasty (try the roasted turkey breast on cranberry walnut bread), it's the homemade baked goods, desserts, and jams (try the apple butter and lemon curd) that really shine and delight. The sticky buns and bread pudding are among the best I've had in the city. The menu of sweets varies daily and fresh goods debut fresh from the kitchen throughout the day - all of which makes this place all the more exciting for a dessert aficionado.

I just wish spoon was closer to my work, and I would have it for lunch every day. I particularly love their lunch box pies, and tuscan white bean salad.

Gotta say of all the places that claim to be "homemade" this is one of the very few that actually lives up to the hype. Pretty much everything I have had here has been amazing. The sticky buns, pies and brownies are all exceptional, and the lunch sandwiches are top notch but cost substantially less than I expected. Love to eat in as the space is cozy and not overcrowded--love that they didn't just cram in as many seats as possible.

I discovered Spoon and its sit down cafe next door, TBSP, a year ago. I find myself having lunch at least three times a week. The food is fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor. I am particularly obsessed with their lunchbox pies - chicken and cheese in buttery flakey puff pastry. When i do not feel like cooking dinner i pick up their gourmet frozen items. My favorite is the chicken potpie. This is a must try!
