TASTE — Restaurant in Suffolk

Taste is an old staple in our area, one that was much better before Covid, than it is currently. I was feeling peckish and so my sweet husband of 51 years thought… “Let’s go to Taste!” Based on visits over the past 5 years, which have been spaced further and further apart, I was hesitant. And my hesitancy proved to have been warranted. Husband’s Northender on Multi grain My Princess Anne also on multi grain. Bread was so dry and stale that I simply struggled to eat the filling. The tomatoes were that hard, white inner core that most people would not feature on a sandwich. Finally in frustration I walked up and asked for a slice of baguette, which was the main meal’s only redemption.

Let’s not even talk about what has become barely a step up from snack pack desserts. Both my (Bakehouse—oh my gosh, are they kidding?) gold brownie and my husband’s blueberry mishmash had one bite from them before they too went straight into the trash. (Both tasted more of chemical, than of food)

Sadly, what used to be one of our favorite weekly visits pre-Covid, has become less than lackluster, and far from its name. Rather it should be renamed yet again, from the original, Taste Unlimited, to Taste and now should be called, Tasteless. For the price of $50, one would think the meal would at least be edible. Hopefully this review will help me remember why we stopped going. Definitely, do not any...

I’ve gotten quite a few things from here before and just absolutely love their products! I try to swing by every time I visit my friend in Suffolk as we don’t have any Taste branches in NoVa. It was super convenient that they are open on Sundays because the other location is closed.

My friends and I perused their selection and I always get my favorites- cheddar cheese straws and parmesan crackers but they didn’t have any of the parmesan crackers this time. I ended up just getting the cheese straws and some of their bread ends which are great for sandwiches? Such a steal for $0.99! My friends loved their little mermaid candies which were more line mermaid gummies. They were super cute and tasty. My friend got their pimiento cheese and Virginia nuts. They also have a lot of interesting and yummy-looking drinks. My friend got one that is CBD infused. She was a fan! I also shared my giant oatmeal raisin cookie and we devoured it in no time. Will have to try the chocolate chip next time!

The staff were very efficient and friendly. Olenty of parking spaces. Lots of room inside and outside the patio if you want to dine with them. I’ve nwvwr had their lunch menu but will definitely have to come back and...

If you haven't been to TASTE, it is primarily a sandwich place with fresh quality ingredients and unique items for tasting. They have gourmet type snacks, cheeses, crackers, nuts and spreads etc. Sandwiches seem to always be good, consistent and tasty! Soups are nice too. I do wish they had "half" options/portions b/c saving half for later just doesn't work with many of the sauces and veggies on the bread. I like the unusual drink options and tea, and Mama Zuma's Revenge chips! (Wow. Hot!) Environment is clean and casual warehouse style. I always find it a little cold inside the restaurant and want a sweatshirt! But eating outside is a nice alternative, weather permitting. Staff is friendly. As far as food options, I wish there were more vegetarian choices and that their food was organic and "clean." I think for the significantly high prices they charge for a sandwich, it isn't too much to ask. (Thus I often pick Panera). The gelato at TASTE is yummy. Some days this place just hits the spot and I like to go as a treat after an appointment. It's usually quick and easy. My son loves it too. You will...
