There are one cup, one plate, and one spoon in the drawer
Which one should i use?
There's sounds more natural, but I feel like I'm talking about multiple items, so I should use There're.

This question is unrelated to the existential there although it uses it. It may be a good idea to modify the question replacing the existential there suitably. – Kris Dec 13 '14 at 08:20
