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!

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.

Always a delightful experience to eat at Tastebuds. Earlier this week I had the Mediterranean pasta salad with chicken. Delicious! When we feel like a sandwich, my husband favors the chicken panini, while I enjoy the ham and cheese. Sometimes we take out, sometimes we eat there. Regardless the food is always fresh, wholesome and tasty; and served with a smile!
