★★★★★

Tastebuds is the best! Not only is the food and coffee amazing, but Bridget, the owner, is a delight to talk with! I had the signature Greek pasta, the even better bagel, black tea, and decaf coffee. The food is delicious and she never uses a microwave! I only drink decaf coffee and this was the first one I’ve had that tasted nearly identical to the caffeinated version (which my husband drinks and raves about!), it didn't have the sour aftertaste that others have. My husband loves the coffee and enjoyed the classic bagel. We went there everyday during our stay and will definitely go back during our next visit!

Response from the owner

Oh Jolene, you and your husband were so delightful! It’s always a pleasure seeing people come back for more, but all three days of your visit truly meant a lot! We look so forward to your next visit! 🥰
Thank you for taking the time to give us a review. We really appreciate it!

I can honestly say if you didn’t try the “even better bagel” you are missing out.
Best bagel I ever had, never disappoints, great value for your money and always served with a smile.

Response from the owner

Wow!!! Thank you so much! I am as addicted to that bagel as everyone else! I really appreciate you sharing your experience, it means a lot to me! 🥰 …

Excellent cafe in Midleton offering good quality coffee and locally sourced food including breakfast and lunch. Highly recommended the even better breakfast bagels.
