This is their chicken ceasar salad wrap. I go here ALL the time and get the same thing. But this time it was so much lettuce. Once I took the lettuce out it was about 4 pieces of chicken on each side of the wrap. Prior, I received the salad instead of what I asked for which was the wrap (which is fine, people make mistakes) but they literally dumped the entire salad into the wrap. The crab and shrimp dip is amazing though! read more

TASTE - Ceasar salad wrap - Cafes Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

TASTE has been a favorite since I lived in Virginia Beach in the 1980's. We have been to this location several times before and now, Post-Covid, and have been pleased with the continuity of quality. But I had a disappointing visit on 06/09/21 at about 11:10 a.m. I was called to the counter, as there was no wait. I placed an order for a "create your own" salad and a Princess Anne sandwich, both "to go." I also purchased $30+ worth of chips, dessert, and nuts. At 11:30, I was still waiting for my order. At 11:35, I asked someone to check on my order. The response was "We're just waiting on the sandwich." Another 5-7 minutes - I asked someone who seemed to be a floor or kitchen manager, and my order was then ready, or had been ready. It was 11:45. This was an inordinate amount of time to wait, but I was taking lunch to someone on the other side of town, and could wait no longer.. My second issue was with the cold cuts. I have ordered Smoked Turkey on sandwiches and salads and I am fairly certain that has been Boar's Head. If not, it is a likewise superior cold cut. But on this day, the Smoked Turkey seemed to be the kind sliced from processed rolls of turkey. It was tasteless and disappointing. I would rather pay another $1.00 for this salad than to have to have "regular deli" cuts. I hope this is temporary, or I will miss my TASTE rewards. read more

I asked to heat my sandwich and it was cold as heck. I also asked to substitute chicken for turkey but they ended up not putting anything instead. Nasty read more

This is the slowest Taste I've ever been to. It takes way longer than you would think to make one sandwich when there's barely anyone else in the restaurant and it's the middle of the afternoon. This has happened to me the last three times I've been here. I still rated it 3 stars because I've always liked their sandwiches and side items, but the Richmond location is just really lacking on speed. I've never had this issue in the Virginia Beach stores and usually they're a lot busier. read more

So happy that Taste has a location in RVA! Great setup with a good amount of seating, coffee, ice cream, sandwiches and wine. The wine prices are lower than grocery store prices for the same wine. The Northender sandwich is delicious and I highly recommend the house dressing. read more

So-so. My husband had the winter veggie sandwich and I had the winter farmstand salad without the cheese (or suggested curried chicken salad). Both were just average. Nothing tasted roasted (carrots or pears), just kind of cooked. I had to pick dark slimy (as in past their prime) spinach leaves out of my salad. The service was friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is open and bright. It was very crowded for lunch on a Saturday; not sure why. read more

Sooo expensive for what you get. I popped in with my 3 kids for lunch and it was $50. I get that the ingredients are fresh and that that costs money, but the sandwiches that came out were pathetic. A slice of cheese and two thin slices of ham on cold white bread for my kids and a slice of tomato and two tiny slices of mozzarella on ciabatta (also super cold? why?) for my "fancier" sandwich. Of course chips and drinks were extra, and pricey. I knew based on the location that lunch would probably be expensive, and I was willing to pay for it, but what we got for the price was so disappointing. read more

This place is down the street from me and I always wanted to try it. Went in and placed a to-go order for one sandwich. After 30 minutes I was getting annoyed but other people seemed to be waiting equally as long, so I didn't say anything. After waiting over 45 minutes I asked about it, and they told me it would be just a few more minutes and that they were having a bit of a backup in the kitchen. After another 15 minutes I complained again, and it was obvious they had lost my order. They quickly made it in 5 minutes and said they would refund me. So to recap, I waited over an hour for ONE SANDWICH, and ultimately didn't even get the refund from them. Not worth it. I do not plan to go back. read more

Had a great Sunday lunch, 1st time visiting...recommend by my daughter who is home from VT. It's was a different atmosphere that was open and fun. Lots of choices and the food was good. Very busy but I can see why with good food and fun atmosphere. Taste doesn't have waiters but there was the guy who brought the food to the tables. He was great. Very attentive to all the tables and trying to make sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend Taste. Thx read more

I bought one sandwich in the store and waited over 45 minutes for it. I had to walk up to the person working the register 2 times asking how much longer it would be before she finally noticed my order was behind her. Ridiculous. read more

My first time here. The food is great and the staff friendly. I made sure I came when it wasn't busy. I highly recommend the Brunswick Stew. I also had the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich. Both were very good and the portions are huge. I ate in, but they also offer takeout and delivery. read more

I was so excited to order a delicious sandwich on FRENCH BREAD, but while ordering i was informed that there was no french bread. I was shocked and disappointed. I was offer the different breads (quite a variety), and ordered a "brioche roll". The brioche roll was a disgrace to the bread community. Later I saw that all the other ordered sandwiches had FRENCH BREAD! What's up with that Sara!? 1/10 won't be going back. read more

Came here round 2pm on a Friday and the place was jumping! It was packed, almost all the tables were taken in the inside and half on the outside. Since it was my first time there I asked the cashier what was good. You have to go up and order your food and someone delivers it to you. I decided on the Northender sandwich and a bag of chips, a cup of water and a cookie. It came to $16+. Thats a lot for a sandwich and chips. The Northender consisted of turkey, bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato and a sauce on French bread. It was pretty good, the French bread was soft but once I opened the paper holding the sandwich the bread kept falling off. It tasted good though and was filling. The cookie on the other hand was not good. It was suppose to be a snickerdoodle but it tasted more like unseasoned cornbread that was a week or so old. It did not leave a pleasant taste in my mouth. I had to guzzle water. But I refused to just throw it away since I paid $3 for it. Anyway, the staff was nice and they kept the place clean. There were options to choose from and plenty of little nick nacks to pick up to take home. I might go back to try their smoothies or salad. read more

I've been to the one in VA beach so was excited that one opened up in our neighborhood. Unfortunately, the service is unbearably slow. Went in on a Sunday mid afternoon, wasn't busy, and was well staffed (~1:1 staff to guest). Ordered two sandwiches. We waited 20 min and nothing came out so we checked on the order. They said it was next and would be out in about a minute. 15 min later, still nothing. We decided to cancel the order and just get a refund, which they did but were unable to refund the tip. Lesson learned. We will not be back. read more

Went in for lunch and there was no seating so we ordered two sandwiches to go. Order took 45 minutes! Sandwiches were very good but can't wait that long at lunch. read more

As a Virginia Beach native living in Richmond, happy Taste is here. We visited and had sandwiches. I had the Hilltop, wife had the Princess Anne. Splurged on some ice cream for dessert. All of it was great! Recommendation, buy a bottle of their house dressing (which is fantastic) to-go for home. read more

Second try , 45 minutes to get take out order after 20 minutes in the order line. Think they were overwhelmed with the noon crowd . Sandwiches were obviously made in a rush. read more

They have worked out the kinks and the sandwiches are delicious. Recommend the northender, tidewater and lynnhaven

Decided to give it a second chance after waiting 45 minutes for my to go order on my first visit. Sandwiches are above average but really nothing special. Just go next door to The Continental and get a Turkey French dip. Smokes anything TASTE has to offer. This is exactly what I did on my second visit- I just walked out and went to The Continental. I live two blocks away and will likely never step foot in there again unless I can see that it's empty from the window. If there are 10 folks in front the wait will be 45 min. Not sure how that math works but has proved to true. read more

While I was quite excite to have Taste coming to Richmond because we've enjoyed the locations in Va Beach, noise and exceptionally slow service left us very disappointed (we waited over 30 min to get our order). On a good note, the food was tasty. read more

No where as good as beach locations. Service is beyond slow. People not friendly or helpful. Better get service going or yall won't last.

Clean, bright, inviting. Warm, helpful staff. Delicious, fresh, filling food at reasonable prices. Great selection of gift items, wine/beer and take out food. We ordered two sandwiches and got a wide selection of items to take home from locally sourced bacon to house-made pimento cheese. The staff was welcoming, efficient and made our visit smooth and enjoyable. We had no problem finding a seat, the sandwiches were well-made with fresh, properly distributed portions and everything came out quickly. Great place to grab lunch, coffee or to get a bit of work done on your computer while grabbing something to eat. Indoor and outdoor seating, so great to enjoy Richmond spring days! read more

If I could rate the food versus the running of the operation I would with a food being a 4 and operation being 1 at best. We're very familiar with Taste visiting multiple times the Virginia Beach locations. We can appreciate a wait, particularly during the summer busy season. However, we'd prayed that when Taste came to Richmond they'd resolve the operational inefficiency that the VA Beach locations have. As someone who majored in Operations and runs an operation today, I truly wonder with the number of employees employed and the average speed to accomplish an order if they are truly making money. The new location is wonderful and open and the food consistent with the other locations and what we'd expect. However, I have no desire to wait 50 minutes at 1pm on a Sunday for a sandwich. If Subway (admittedly not the same) can make my food in 5 minutes through a line, where is Taste spending the other 45? I beg you...you have good food that my family loves. SOLVE your operational issues so I don't have to keep telling my kids "No, not worth $50 of heartache". read more

The beer selection is decent. I had plenty of time to taste some as it took over 45 minutes for one sandwich to be made.
