    What is the definition of a restaurant like this one? Is it craft sandwiches? Everything here screams local and fresh. Prices were fair for a small restaurant/grocer. Reminiscent of a place in Charlottesville called Feast. It has a limited menu but everything on it is creative and looks tasty. Would recommend.

    "Northender" as a wrap.

    Overpriced for what you get. My turkey wrap was mostly veggies. Cheese was forgotten. And when you ask for mayo on the side, that means don't put it on the sandwich too!! They also front run all the DoorDash orders, so if you place an order for pickup yourself, be prepared to wait around (15 minutes past pickup time in this case). There are better options nearby.

    I went the other night right before they closed for a quick dinner and glass of wine and it was great! They are open till seven so if you are looking for an earlier dinner this could be a good option! I always love their sandwiches and this time was no different! I got the Northender! Their house wines are great and you can get them by the glass! Going in the evening we beat the crowds that are usually around for lunch!

    Huge chunks of apples instead of slices

    I usually really love taste. But the guy who made my sandwich today made it horrible! Huge chunks of apples, grapes uncut. It's literally called "sliced apples" so lazy. Sloppy presentation. The chicken salad was literally plopped next to it... I like going to taste but things like this make me feel like it's a waste of money if you have one person doing this.

    I've always been a huge fan of taste and go very frequently. This time though, I noticed a funny taste in my northerner sandwich and looked to see rotten avocado! I've never experienced this from TASTE before, usually their quality is outstanding so this really shocked me.

    Great choices! Anyone say 'picnic'?

    I grew up in Norfolk and Taste Unlimited was our go to for lunch. Here we are YEARS later and Taste never disappoints! The staff suggested the Northender which is honey smoked turkey, hardwood smoked bacon, Havarti, avocado, romaine, tomato, basil mayo on French bread- delicious! Sweet hubby had the Freemason which is a classic chicken salad, hardwood smoked bacon, romaine, tomato on multigrain bread. Oh! We also had Coke in a bottle! So much fun. If you want a great sandwich (or need to cater an event) - give them a call.

    This may be a bit overpriced but I am addicted to the salad with peaches mozzarella and prosciutto. Appreciate the outdoor seating. Had that salad twice in 7 days. So yummy and can't get enough.

    TASTE seems to have loads of polarizing reviews -- resulting in its average rating. You can add my vote to the 5-star bandwagon. My experience yesterday was stellar all around. I was at St. Mary's campus a few blocks away for a doctor's appointment and it took way longer than expected, so I ordered carry out from TASTE to bring in to work in lieu of a lunch break. I ordered via their website and checked out as a guest; paid online so pick up was easy. I parked out front and walked inside about 15 minutes after placing my order online. I was immediately drawn into the cookie area (darn you, sweet tooth) upon noting the Byrd's cookies options. I *love* Byrd's cookies from Savannah. They are my favorite crunchy cookies. And they're being sold for $6.99 a pack, which is two dollars cheaper than I've seen elsewhere around here. Very nice. I also purchased a CBD lemonade, which was atrocious. Not TASTE's fault on that front. Learned my lesson. For my sandwich, I chose the Lynnhaven (roasted chicken breast, sassy southern pimento cheese, hardwood smoked bacon, baby spinach, basil mayo on Italian flatbread, passed on the tomato). I ate it about an hour later and it was delicious. A perfectly made sandwich, and the ciabatta pulled it all together nicely. I also ordered a snickerdoodle cookie and Oreo bar. Both were great. I just finished the cookie for breakfast this morning, and it was still super soft and fresh. The inside of TASTE is well done -- open and clean. They also have a nice patio area for better weather days. Fun, quality grocery items, and also grab and go sandwiches already made. The cashier was friendly, bonded with me over the Byrd's cookies, and wished me a lovely day. All around, great experience and I'd recommend TASTE to others. Hope their overall rating goes up!

I was a bit disappointed that they only offer whole or oat milk, as I was used to having more milk options (like low fat or nonfat). I can't drink whole milk and I'm not a big fan of oat milk. The barista recommended that I try the oat milk and said if I didn't like the drink, they would make me something else. I asked for light oak milk and hoped for the best. My latte was served in layers, so I got a big blast of oat milk in my first sip, but after I mixed my latte, it tasted so much better. The coconut flavor really came through and offset the oat milk flavor. I was really happy with my drink and with the super helpful barista. I'll for sure be coming back!

I had a pretty good experience from service to the quality of the menu items that I got. There were 4 staff members that were there taking and making orders. Even though I came in at a busy time, I didn't have very long to wait until I got my drink order. I grabbed a strawberry magic stick, an ube bun and a pineapple bun along with a mango orange tea. The strawberry magic stick and the pineapple bun were delectable and the ube bun was perfect. Ube isn't very sweet, and I'm glad that this cafe stayed true to the ube flavor instead of adding a lot of sugar or altering the actual taste! The mango orange tea perfectly pared with the pastries! They have bottled drinks and cakes as well, but I didn't get to try them! They have a handful of tables and chairs inside, and they had quite a bit of people in there. It seems like they are a fave spot for locals. Some customers were just hanging out and some had laptops out, so they might be a good spot to do some work, too. They also have some merch on shelves (plushies and cups) if you're interested in that kind of thing. Definitely recommend if you're craving some treats!

The matcha is unfortunately not the best either, I think they use some type of sweetened powder as even the unsweetened is still sweet and the matcha flavor tastes burnt and not the best quality Also wish they had more seasonal drink options (other than the seasonal syrups) Recommendations: cold brew with splash of oat; pastries (macarons) Affordability: well priced (especially in this economy) Ambiance: cozy coffee shop vibes to hang out, not the best for studying/work Service: Great! they also have stamp cards Good for: post run coffee, coffee when you are not in a rush
