Right before Christmas rush, we were picking up some cakes for holiday gatherings. Took awhile for staff to find our pre-orders in the cooler. Lemon cake was my favorite over the strawberry but both were delicious! We did stay, but there looked to be plenty of seating for a cozy cafe place to relax.

The hubs and I stopped by while we were in town, and we decided to try some of their cupcakes and milkshakes.

Taste Buds is located along State Street and Pennsylvania Avenue on the Bristol, TN side…read more We visited here as they offered Boba Tea and Bubble Blast drinks. I learned that Bubble Blasts are carbonated soda water mixed with flavor and popping bubbles. The staff is very friendly and helpful with our order. They offer a wide selection of flavors for drinks. Aside from the boba and bubble drinks we usually get, they offer a variety of ice cream desserts and frozen Asian treats. My first impression was Ice Cream Soda Shoppe vibe meets Asian desserts offerings.

Our son has a peanut allergy and they kept the peanut butter dough cookies packaged separately; same with peppermint cookies from others. The ambiance is a cross of a high-tech bakery and a laboratory where they create these amazing concoctions. We will be tasting them later and looking forward to it!

Cookies seem underdone and suuuper sweet, and they are ridiculously overpriced. They also have a…read moregrainy texture? Interior of the store feels like a blindly white void. If I were Mike Teavee, I would not be leaving the place as large as I entered it. Y'know what I'm sayin'? You order and pay on the side of the store with an iPad. Very self-service. And while I'm not against self-service, it feels very disconnected from the people there and just sort of...cold? Even convoluted? Perhaps a mite pretentious when combined with the stuffy bright-white atmosphere? Compare to Great Clips, which combines personable service with smart tech solutions. Compare with Great American Cookie which is just so much more straightforward overall. GAC's customer service model is great for customers of all kinds. Here at Crave, I don't want to walk up to someone and have them point me to a tablet in the corner away from the entrance. Simplify! Everyone there was just doing their job, and I hold nothing against the fine people running the establishment. But the people working there deserve a better place with more satisfying food. The people eating from there deserve better for the prices.
