Little Spoon earns mixed reviews: many parents say the food works—kids devour Babyblends, Plates, and Smoothies like Banza mac and cheese, Pizza Pocket, pancakes and sausage—while others report inconsistent flavors and toddlers refusing meals. Reviews also flag impressive variety and convenient, healthy ingredients as strengths, but cite serious weaknesses including aggressive subscription practices, damaged or spoiled deliveries, plastic-heavy packaging/microwaving concerns, and occasional food quality issues.

  • I am a bit of an odd bird: I bought this for myself, as an adult with multiple stomach disorders that makes "adult" food hard to digest. I was a bit hesitant on the price but I am SO GLAD I took the plunge. There's a wide variety of blends and smoothies, they taste good, there's no junk in them, and they don't upset my stomach. I may not be a parent, but if I was (and I plan to be if it's in the cards) one of the positives of these disorders is that all baby food must literally go through me first — and I'd have absolutely no qualms with sharing this with my kid. It's GREAT.

  • Little Spoon has been a life saver for my busy family. My husband and I both have demanding jobs that gets all home a little after six most days on normal nights. Some weeks we have night meetings that puts one of us on solo-parent duty. We are all tired by the time we get there and need to get meals on the table quickly. While my husband and I can wait to eat, our little guy usually can’t. Enter Little Spoons. We freeze them when they arrive and our little guy knows to pick out his plate. The options offer a great amount of variety. He has such a great palette because of his exposure to different options. They are also loaded with veggies, making them also a healthy option for him. We also LOVE their snacks and pouches. Healthy and tasty alternatives to other major brands. This is a product that makes being a parent much, much easier. We will be loyal Little Spoon customers for years to come. Thank you for making something so helpful to us parents!

  • The delivery is quick. The meals are tasty and well portioned. Customer service has been quick and helpful with delivery issues!

  • Little Spoon has definitely been our favorite! From the way the meals are cooked to the taste. My son loves the raviolis! This works so well for us since both me and my husband work from home and have very busy schedules during the day and by the end of our workday we are exhausted. With these meals we don’t have to worry on what to cook for him. Put in the microwave and done in a few seconds and we all get to enjoy our dinner together!

  • Really have enjoyed my business with Little Spoon, quick and easy meals for my little one in times of need that most importantly are HEALTHY and clean! I have appreciated their Customer Service as well as they have always been easy to work with.

  • Overall these meals are a great deal! My son loves them and actually eats all the veggies on each plate. These plates are great quality and keep my son happy and full!

  • My daughter absolutely loves these purées! I know she’s getting high quality food and saves me so much time. Their customer service is also top notch! You are able to speak with someone knowledgeable about the product right away. I can’t recommend this product enough!!

  • I am so grateful for Little Spoon! Everything from the meal options to the customer service has been wonderful. I really appreciate being able to serve my toddler something quick and nutritious whenever I’m in a pinch. It really is a life saver!

  • The smoothies are such an easy way to expose our daughter to unique foods that we don't often have the opportunity to make fresh at home. While the price may seem high, it's important to take into account the quality of food ingredients being used here. I have searched high and low and keep ending up back at Little Spoon for their unique flavors and top notch ingredients. My daughter loves them and even as she is growing out of the baby blends, I am able to use them to mix with things like ground beef to introduce her to a wider range of flavors and textures.

  • My husband and I were having such a hard time figuring out what ur son liked and feeding him. He's past 1 now so we went with smoothies and the little plates. He loves them! It's so convenient for us because I work night shift and meal prep time is hard to find. Customer service is impeccable. I spoke with Diane and she answered all my questions. This company is such a blessing! Thank you!

  • Love love love!! Foods come on dry ice so they stay nice and fresh which is amazing!! My daughter loved every one we got! Will be getting more and she will be growing with it over the years!! I have zero complaints so far and I can’t wait to experience more. Definitely worth it!!

  • Little Spoon has been a life saver for my toddler since he started finger foods. Great taste and variety options to choose from.

  • I canceled the subscription plan and never received any notification saying otherwise. I received a notification only from ups alerting me for a pending shipment that had not been prepped yet. I contacted the company and explained my son was allergic and did not eat the food also due to the texture. I have alerted them I had medical notes to provide as well. They refused to cancel the delivery EVEN THOUGH it had not been shipped yet. Upon delivery it was refused and returned to the sender. I contacted the company many times and never received a call back. I received some emails that provide no proof of notification. But no response to resolve the issue. So on top of my sons allergy I also never received the item but they are trying to charge me.

  • We have a 2 1/2 year old and we've leaned on Little Spoon since she was 4 months and starting her food journey. We started with the blends and then eventually graduated to the plates. The blends were such a cool way to introduce ingredients I'd never have in my kitchen (or the time to prep). There are also so many options for the plates so it's easy to switch it up and try new things. I love that they're packed with healthy ingredients and sneaky vegetables. The Pizza Pocket is her favorite! The smoothies are also great and I'd be lying if I said I didn't steal her Tahini Banana Bread smoothly pretty regularly. Little Spoon is the ultimate mom hack and I don't know what I'd do without this company.

  • My 4-year-old LOVES little spoons. I've been using Little Spoons since 2019 when my husband suddenly and unexpectedly passed away leaving me with an 18-month-old to feed (he was the primary cook and baby food maker). This company made feeding him SO MUCH EASIER! From the plates to the pouches, he LOVES everything. I love the variety and the ingredients, I know when I order that I'm giving my son the best that I can be.

  • I think the food was decent and my baby enjoyed it. I’ll give a 1 star for customer service. Really is a bit of a scam. I emailed them saying I wanted to cancel. She made it seem like she was going to do it for me, then she attached a bunch of tips to help develop my baby’s palate and the underneath instructions to cancel when at this point I already stopped reading. Sounds like they are being intentionally tricky. Anyway, they charged me and wouldn’t give me a refund. Not a great way to operate a business.

  • From the purees to the plates and smoothies, Little Spoon has been with us all the way. My little one has enjoyed, and devoured, everything we've received from your company. Outside of my own cooking, this is the only brand I trust in feeding my baby. So glad I found you guys!!

  • Excellent, nutritious food that my kids love!

  • Little Spoon has been a life saver as a working mom. My kids love the meals and it takes 0 meal planning.

  • I started with Little Spoon when my youngest was 1 and my oldest was 6. (Really wish my oldest had the exposure from early on) From variety, flavors and appreciation for different colors within our meals, the Little Spoon journey through products has been a great benefit in time saving for me and in nutrition for our kids. It's convenience without compromising on nutrition and that is absolutely priceless.
