Lovely little cafe. Owner is super friendly and skilled in true Italian style. Lots of choice in terms of food and always has a freshly cooked pasta and soup of the day.

Always tricky finding a cafe open between Christmas and New Year. Stopped at Taste-Bud after going out for a cycle. Really friendly staff. Kindly told us of a safe place to leave our bikes so we could sit inside. Had the breakfast..Great value for money. Recommend highly and will certainly spread the word.

They provided lasagna and aubergine parmigiana for 60 people for a family gathering. The food was delicious and we got lots of compliments on how tasty it was. Thank you for making the occasion stress free for us with the serving equipment that you provided and help with the set up on the day.
