We happened to come here by "mistake" due to the flooding of the surrounding streets ( August 4th), while trying to get to another restaurant. We walked in, read the menu and we were excited to be at this restaurant!! The staff member behind the counter was very friendly and asked if we were here on purpose or by mistake. We told her our reason and she said we were the 13th "mistake" customer. Well, after seeing the menu, viewing the atmosphere and what is offered here, it was a "universe detour" given to us on purpose! Great service, great European shoppe feel, clean, prompt service ( order at counter and food is delivered to your table) and delicious food. Our sandwiches, pasta salad, drinks and dessert were fresh and very tasty. There are plenty of prepackaged perishable and non perishable food items to go, a great selection of wines and premade gift baskets. Great concept. A bar with beer on tap and wines are available as well, for dining in. Fun decor, light and airy. read more

I had previously been to a TASTE in Chesapeake, probably about 7 years ago so when in the area and seeing this one I stopped in for lunch. I forgot just how amazing their menu is, not to mention the quality and freshness of their food! I tried their chicken pot pie soup and a curry chicken salad sandwich on their amazing, soft multigrain bread. But were OUTSTANDING!!! They have a large of selection to choose from when it comes to salads and sandwiches, as well as some regular soups and a daily special too. Many chips and other takeaway items in the store as well. I wish we had one of these in the Fredericksburg area, I'd be there all the time! read more

My family and I came here for a quick lunch after visiting my son in the hospital. I have been to the other Taste location in Greenbrier which we loved. This location however, for me, wasn't impressive. The restaurant itself was packed on a Tuesday during lunch which is understandable considering the area and time of day. It seemed people were quickly coming in and out so finding a table wasn't too rough. I tried the crabcake sandwich special they were offering. Although it looked appetizing, to me it lacked something. A different sauce, topping. I'm not sure. But I have had plenty of crabcakes previously. This just didn't stand out to be impressive to me. The soda offerings they have were okay from the fountain. I am unsure of the brand exactly but to me the sodas tasted very watered down. My mother tried the Lynnhaven and so did my nephew. Both complained that it was extremely dry and chewy. When they brought our sandwiches to our table, they forgot my nephews sandwich and ended up having to go back to track it down. I really enjoyed the other location and maybe will stick with that one since it isn't as busy. read more

My wife and I went there as we were wrestling with a few other choices in the area and were happy we landed there. The menu has a variety of sandwiches, salads, wraps and salads that everyone will find something they will enjoy. I grabbed the Bayville Farms roast beef with Havarti cheese with a house dressing. This was on a nice French bread and was a very solid sandwhich. It had a nice slice of the Havarti and was really good. My wife had the Lynnhaven roasted chicken breast, Pimento Cheese, bacon, spinach, tomato and basil spread on ciabatta bread. Again this was a pile of meat and vegetables on a good piece of bread. Both of these came with a bag of Route 18 potato chips that are locally made. The service was real quick and delivered to our outside table within minutes of finishing grabbing our sodas. While they also offered inside seating, we sat outside because it was warm and comfortable in the sun. Both are good options for the spirit of the moment. Once we left we drove by other Taste restaurant we then realize this was a chain that I would not have an issue visiting another one. This was a quick and very enjoyable lunch read more

Food was fresh and of such great quality. The price is a bit much but the quality makes up for it. Enjoyed the fountain drinks as well.

I had a lovely weekday lunch here. Food was delicious and fresh! Staff was friendly and personable. I just love the setup of this place. They have indoor seating, a little grab and go area, a small "grocery" store with their goods, and a cute outdoor patio. I enjoyed the outdoor seating on this gorgeous day! Would highly recommend!! They have sandwiches, smoothies, salads, dessert, wraps. Did I mention their fountain pop all has CANE SUGAR!? ( so much healthier for you!!) Will 100% be back here and will be bringing all my friends! read more

Lately, the music has been SO LOUD that it's hard to get any work done there, let alone have a conversation with friends. Loud enough that we left earlier than we wanted to, and have decided against coming here for work lunch meetings. This is a regular spot for me because their salad and sandwiches are consistently good, and it's a nice break from burgers and fried food. The service is friendly, even when it's crowded, and if there's going to be a long wait, they always have a sign posted, which I appreciate. They have good table space (excellent for getting work done), have wifi, and great lighting with giant garage style windows. Taste, PLEASE TURN DOWN THE MUSIC so I can come back! read more

I was on my way to an event so a friend suggested we stop by TASTE to get some sandwiches to-go. It was close to closing time so the place was emptied. The wait time listed was 20 minutes but I figured since we were one of the only people there, we would get our sandwiches fairly quickly but it still took quite awhile. I ordered the Lynnhaven sandwich with a snickerdoodle cookie for dessert. The sandwich itself was alittle expensive but the ingredients tasted fresh. I was in a hurry so I didn't get to browse around and see if there was anything else I wanted to try but they seem to have a variety foods and drinks. read more

Taste is a chain restaurant but it's always a local fan fave and a go to for those looking for healthier alternatives in fast food. This location is one of my faves. It is HUGE! This spacious eatery has inside and outside seating. There is a cute bar with coffee, brews and wine.. Staff is friendly, and menu options are plentiful. Taste offers a variety of Hot and Cold Sandwiches, soups and salads. TIP: check out the grab and go section, upon occasion you will find markdown items at a 50% discount. This restaurant is great to work remotely from or for a quick lunch meetup. Check them out... read more

So I placed an order for delivery by Door Dash. Driver was there on time. Order was ready by 11:43 so the driver should have shown up as leaving. No. Taste made them wait to pick up another order and it wasn't ready until 12:42 so now our order isn't going to arrive until 1:15. Original eta was 12:10. Not a happy camper. So, DO NOT Order from here and have Door Dash deliver. I tried to order directly through Door Dash but was not able to. I guess Taste has it set up to where they dictate to Door Dash orders they will be able to get. If the lunch was just for me I would have been o.k. But, I ordered for a group of corporate people. :( read more

Taste is my boyfriend's new favorite sandwich place to go. They have reward points, so that you can get a free sandwich or soup once it builds up. I'm not the biggest sandwich gal, but my boyfriend wanted me to review this so here we go. I got the Chicken Salad Sandwich, and it tasted like any other chicken salad sandwich. However, I appreciated how thick the sandwich was. It had a lot of filling in it. I thought the Chicken Noodle Soup was a bit salty. I got this because I wanted the specialty soup, but they said I had to wait 30 minutes for that, which we didn't have time for. They have their own parking lot, so parking is pretty easy. read more

Here on orders again after a year in Africa. Saw this place as I was passing by and figured I could go for a sandwich. Man, was that a good choice! I had the Virginian. It was ciabatta bread with prosciutto, turkey, ham, provolone, romaine, tomato, banana peppers, and balsamic vinaigrette. Absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend Taste if you're looking for a quick bit to eat or want a sandwich or salad. It really is a great little place. read more

I love a good Taste salad. Since I was in Ghent, I decided to place a pick up order for a salad. It was ready so quick, and I literally got out of my car to get my salad and popped right back in. I normally go to the one in harbor view (Suffolk), so this was a first time for me. The staff I engaged with (like two) were nice, and the set up of the restaurant was very nice! The only qualm about this one is no curbside service, although it was a rainy day, and they could have stopped curbside service because of that. Taste, keep up the beautiful work! read more

Atmosphere of this restaurant was AMAZING!!! What a lovely place to study, bring a family, relax, or enjoy a date! Talk about picturesque, scenic, sunlit, and fall perfect! There is outdoor seating, upstairs indoor seating, and backyard seating! Quite a bit of extra goodies to enjoy such as a wine wall, seasonings, healthy snacks, and homemade desserts. The Thai salad has a delicious peanut flavor, all the veggies tasted homemade, and there was a good portion of chicken too. Relatively busy on a Saturday. The wait was 20-25 minutes, but we got our food faster! read more

My friends and I got takeout from this location recently and I really enjoyed my sandwich! I got the Lynnhaven and there was a lot of excellent flavor. The sandwich wasn't gigantic but I felt full after eating it, so it packed a punch :) The food was also prepared reasonably quickly. Honestly, since I didn't eat there, I don't have much else to say, but solely on the basis of the food I would definitely recommend TASTE! read more

They no longer use the wonderful French bread for the sandwiches. Now it is a store bought ciabatta. The sandwiches used to be so good. Now, the bread is just average. read more

First off, this is not my first, second, or last time coming here. I've been here to study, for lunch dates, quick coffee runs, and to grab some wine for a girls night. Taste is a great place for any of the above and I would highly recommend to anyone. I love that they have a parking lot. There is also A TON of space on the inside to sit down and eat and a cute patio outside as well. The staff has always been kind to me and I really like their variety in food. I've had multiple signature sandwiches and to go sandwiches from their cold section and they're tasty. My recommendation would still be their warm fresh sandwiches though. A plus- their French bread is SO soft and tasty. Their coffee and drinks are also great to get. I'm always here to study so I always get a latte and they never disappoint. read more

Weeknight DDD (Daddy-Daughter-Date), her request. Parking lot can be jam packed during lunch but fine on a Thursday pm. We checked the specials board and print menu for new items, then ordered 1 Thai Chicken salad, 1 green chili hominy, 1 Northender sandwich (no bacon) and an iced tea, totaling $30. Male employee with glasses that took our order was sarcastically friendly; since it was the end of shift, he allowed us to swap out baguettes of bread for a desert. She chose a snickerdoodle cookie. Food was ready in ~8 min. She enjoyed the sandwich as I did my salad, both made with fresh ingredients as described. I must admit, the chili surprised me. I'm normally not enticed by vegan options but this soup was dynamite. It's like a warm, flavorfully elevated version of Moe's tomatillo sauce (salsa verde). Mmmmm! Restaurant and dining room were bright, clean and had a decent stock of grab n go items. Nabbed a container of prepackaged French Herb Cheese spread for $5 before leaving. It's her fave! read more

Heard about Taste through a friend locally, and thought I would give it a go since I'm an avid sandwich eater. Store was easy to find and parking was ample in their private lot. I picked up an order a few minutes before closing and there were still a handful of customers in line ordering and picking up. Since it was close to closing the seats were mostly empty but there was a chic industrial vibe which definitely would have been enjoyable as I noticed there was also a coffee bar inside. For food, I tried the Beach Club on a ciabatta roll and I have no complaints! Bread still tasted fresh at the end of the day and the dressing was a delicious pairing with the fillings. Coming from north Jersey, some of my favorite delis have a larger selection of sandwiches, so the limited sandwich menu here was a slight letdown, but the food tasted great so I know it won't stop me from coming back! Definitely would give this place a try if youre in the mood for a good 'wich. I hear this is a chain, but I will definitely be back here to try their coffee bar! read more

TASTE - Beach Club on Ciabatta - Sandwiches Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Let me start by saying that I grew up in St. Louis and as such was raised on St. Louis Bread Co., now known as Panera. I still love Panera, but I suspect they'll be seeing a whole lot less of me with Taste around. I've visited several times, at various locations, and have always had a good experience. Today I stopped in to the Ghent location specifically for the Peter's Pick of the week: Turkey, pimento, romaine, and honey house dressing on French bread. I'm a sucker for anything with Pimento since moving to Virginia, and Taste Pimento is one of my favorites. The Peter's Pick sandwich comes with chips and a drink for $9.99. Quite the steal considering I really could have been satisfied with half of the sandwich alone. It was SO GOOD that I basically inhaled both halves before realizing how insanely full I was. (I should mention this was at a picnic in the middle of the Botanical Gardens so I then had to haul myself and a toddler out of there feeling like I just ate Thanksgiving dinner.) I stopped by around 9am to pick food up on the way to the Garden. I got the dressing on the side since it was going to be a few hours until I ate it, and they gave the most generous quantity. I ended up dipping the Chesapeak Crab chips in it just because it was so tasty! I had never tried any of their house dressings before but am really looking forward to trying the others now. I did initially think the sandwich could use a little more lettuce, as there was really only one thin leaf on each half. I really love my greens though and I didn't think anything of it once I took a bite. It's nice having a great sandwich shop open so early for occasions like this. They have their full menu available all day, starting at 8am. Food was ready very quickly and everyone was incredibly nice. read more

Taste is that perfect sandwich you had at a friends house 10 years ago that you can't stop thinking about. It's classic Americana deli offerings with a fun millennial family twist. It has a "everything is local vibe". I come for the salads, specifically the Cobb salad. Talk about a salad that doesn't disappoint. Heaps of bacon, egg, avocado, onions and FAT chucks of grilled chicken. The dressing is the perfect amount too! At the end of the salad everything is still evenly coated in dressing and not a soup at the bottom of the bowl. The beat thing about the sale is the containers, hear me out! You can do the full fledge Kim K. Shake to every salad you get from Taste. Wanna feel like a Kardashian while on your lunch break? Get the salad! read more

I'm a sandwich person. I love a sandwich. I love the simple straightforward options at Taste along with the little market area. It's a great spot to grab lunch and pick up some wine for dinner.... Or lunch. The lemon chantilly bars from the baked goods area are AMAZE. My favorite sandwich so far is the beach club esp when they are generous with their special house sauce. read more

TASTE - Beach club - Sandwiches Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

We've eaten at a few different Taste locations before. Today was our first time at this one. We ordered our lunch for takeout around 2pm (on a Sunday). I ordered my favorite- the Beach Club with the multigrain bread swapped for French bread, no dressing. They made the substitutions as requested and my sandwich was very good. Lots of meat, cheese, bacon, and fresh veggie toppings. The bread seemed ever so slightly less-than-fresh. My husband ordered the Lynnhaven, exactly as it comes on the menu. This is his go-to and he enjoyed it very much. The pimento cheese is always his favorite part. Our food was ready within fifteen minutes for pickup as promised and it was easy to park and run it to grab the order. Overall, this compared well with experiences at other Taste locations. The food across the board at this franchise always seems a bit overpriced (it was $25 for our two sandwiches), but the food is good and usually fresh, and they offer a nice variety of menu options. read more

I always order ahead on the website when I come here, so I can grab and go. This is a local chain, so there are other TASTEs in the area. There's plenty of seating at this location and this location has a bar too! I love looking at the specialty foods. There's a wide selection of Route 11 kettle cooked chips. My favorite flavor is Mama Zuma's Revenge, a hot chip with a good blend of flavor and spice. My go-to cold sandwich is the Virginian. It has prosciutto, turkey, baked ham, provolone, romaine, tomato, banana peppers, drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette on ciabatta bread. My friends love the Inlet, which has a good amount of mozzarella, tomato, fresh basil, balsamic vinegar, and basil mayo on ciabatta. I have had that one too and it's a banger. You can customize any of the sandwiches or turn them into a wrap. I just tried the chicken parmesan sandwich and shared with my boyfriend and it was perfect for a quick, easy dinner. The sandwiches come wrapped up, so you can grab your sandwich and head somewhere for a picnic or to the beach. My favorite salad is the chicken caesar salad (I sub balsamic dressing for the caesar). Love it. Every 2 weeks there's a special called Peter's Pick and you get chips and a foundation drink included in your meal (no customizations on this one) at a discounted price. This would be a good place to study at. There's plenty of parking at this location. read more

This is a cute shop but the food is hit or miss. They gave good smoothies and juices. They are a bit pricey.

This is our favorite spot around Norfolk for a quick lunch! The staff are always friendly and the food is the best! Being a vegetarian, there are options to switch the meats for hummus and customize each item. We ordered the Princess Anne and Northender with some chips and sodas. The sandwiches were stuffed but the fresh bread was the best part! Taste is a local chain however this location has great parking, lots of seating space, and a nice market selection of other items. We always grab a bottle of wine to take home. read more

My girlfriend comes here to study often, which means I get to tag along! I've been here 5+ times and it's always left a good impression. They always got free samples on deck, which makes this place dope. The scene itself is beautiful. It's a got the modern kitchenware appearance with lots of wood design mixed with metal furniture. Lots of students and writers come here to work on assignments because it's a calming atmosphere. There's a nice echo throughout the store but not too noisy. Food & Drink: People mainly come here for the sandwiches. I've had the vegan It Ain't no Betty and it had a generous amount of avocado. I mainly order the citrus zinger every time I come here. It's a little sour and makes me feel while I'm studying. If you're a caffeine fiend, then they got some strong stuff here. My girlfriend orders the small almond joy coffee and she's jumping off the walls inside her head. Overall, they have a large variety of snacks and drinks. Overall: If you're the type of person who likes studying at cafes, this is the spot. Everything is spaced out nicely. If you just like the coffee here, you can always walk to a nearby restaurant to get an entree. It's also close to the gyms so you can head there with your gym bag in your car. It's a great spot to get stuff done on the run! read more
