    Antipasto sandwich
    Victoria D.

    I've always loved Taste Unlimited for their fresh ingredients and high-quality sandwiches, and their February special, the Antipasto Sandwich, did not disappoint! Packed with salami, fresh mozzarella, grilled artichoke, roasted red peppers, pesto and a zesty balsamic drizzle, this sandwich is bursting with bold flavors. The combination of salty, savory, and tangy notes makes every bite delicious. Served on their rosemary ciabatta bread, it has the perfect crunch on the outside with a soft, airy inside. Pair it with one of their house-made soups or a side of their addictive chips (dill pickle ones are my FAV) and you've got a meal worth coming back for. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere at Taste is always welcoming. If you're a fan of classic Italian flavors, don't miss out on this limited-time sandwich!m

    Taste was a fun stop on our way to Virginia Beach. We grabbed a fresh shrimp salad to go and ate on the beach. It's also a great place to dine in, especially on Fridays with live music in the summer ! Don't forget to stop by the outdoor produce stand on your way out!

    Despite a large crowd and a warning of a 30 minute wait, our sandwiches were ready in about 10 minutes. Since the weather was nice, there was plenty of seating to choose from both inside and out.

    After spending $35.00 for 2 sandwiches I was asked for my phone number so they can text me when my order was ready. I explained that I am the only guy here and I will be standing right there waiting on my sandwich. I even tipped her. I was told next time I will have to provide a phone number. There won't be a next time if a guy has to carry a phone to order 2 sandwiches for $35.00 and not even get a Thank you.

    I was visiting Taste for the first time, with my adult daughter who lives in Virginia Beach. She had been to this Taste numerous times, as well as to some of their other locations in Virginia Beach and Norfolk. Our visit was for a late breakfast/early lunch on a Sunday morning in mid-April, 2023. For a first-timer, I found the layout of the store/restaurant to be a tad confusing. When you enter, there's a wide variety of take-out items -- refrigerated packaged sandwiches, salads, juices, bakery items, wines, pantry items, and more. My daughter thankfully directed us to the counter where we could order fresh sandwiches, salads, and soups. I ordered the Thai Salad ($12.99), which features house-roasted chicken breast, red cabbage, shredded carrots, cucumber, roasted red peppers, and crushed peanuts on romaine with a Thai peanut vinaigrette and topped with crunchy noodles. It's served in an eco-friendly bowl with a bread end. My daughter ordered a Princess Anne Signature Sandwich ($8.99). This is a meatless sandwich which features Havarti cheese, avocado, roasted red peppers, romaine, tomato, and roasted red pepper aioli on multigrain bread. We both also "made it a meal", which added a small bag of Route 66 chips and Boylan's fountain drink for an additional $3.99 each. Food quality. 5/5. Our food tasted fresh, and was very tasty. The quantity was also good. I had leftover salad for lunch the next day and my daughter had half of her sandwich. Atmosphere. 4/5. The restaurant/shop is large, with plentiful seating on the 2nd floor. As mentioned, it is a bit confusing with options for eating in or take out. Tables were clean, as was the restroom. Service was fast and efficient. Value. (3/5). We found the restaurant to be a bit a expensive for a sandwich or salad, and even more once you add chips and a drink. However, the quality of the ingredients used was good as were the portions. Parking was also easy on a Sunday morning in April. I could imagine though that it might be tight in the summer. We also noticed bicycle racks, and some patrons buying provisions for their bike ride.

    We had lunch at Taste on Shore Drive. It is their flagship location and it's huge. It was a beautiful day and we sat outside where there was plenty shaded seating. Not only is it a very nice sandwich shop but has a grab and go section , gifts, assorted wines, beer, and all kids of delicious food (dinners, snacks, cheeses, deserts etc) to take home. I my favorite and go to sandwich is the Northennder but today I tried something different, the Inlet. Everything is good so you can't go wrong. The kids got Turkey bento boxes They have a rewards program and the first cashier did not ask me for my number and I forgot as my grandkids were in a mad rush to play outside in the fenced in yard. I went back to get them more BBQ chips and the next cashier was nice enough to ask me and get my last order on my account. You just have to ask.

    Taste is one of the best sandwich shops in the area. I absolutely love their fresh ingredients in their sandwiches and soups and also how they offer specialty foods and wines in their stores. The staff in every store I've been in have always been super nice and welcoming. My go-to sandwich is always the Virginian, which is a signature sandwich made with prosciutto, turkey, baked ham, provolone, romaine lettuce, tomato and banana peppers on ciabatta bread! It's simply perfection! I also purchase the Tortellini Salad to go with it which is also just as great. My daughter always builds her own sandwich which consists of meat, cheese and lettuce on ciabatta bread, simple but very tasty. I tried the Chicken Pot Pie Soup for the first time and it was different due to the slight sour taste but very delicious. It consisted of pot pie ingredients just without the crust but it was great! Taste is the perfect spot to get a great tasting sandwich or even items for a fun picnic or party. I've never had a bad experience with Taste and I love trying a new item every time I go whether it be a new drink, soup or dip!

    After Biking through Bayville park with my girlfriend, we decided to stop and grab a bite at TASTE. There is a large selection of quality snacks and treats as well as a mouthwatering menu of healthy meals. We got the "Northender" on ciabatta and the "Granny Goat Salad". Both were delicious and we felt great after. TASTE is also perfect for ordering a meal to-go to take to the beach.

    Every time I go to Taste I'm not disappointed. All ingredients are fresh and all meals that I've had have been tasty. If I had any gripe it would be the overall cost.

I stopped by during their pop up at Farmhouse Brewery and, once again, they did not disappoint. One thing you need to know: their burritos are massive. We're talking "the size of your head" big, so come hungry or be ready for some epic leftovers. The menu is small and focused (usually around four burrito choices), but every single one is packed with quality ingredients and flavor. The Coop spends most days serving on base, but keep an eye out for their local pop-ups. They're always worth chasing down. This time around, I ordered the Pepper Jack Chicken Burrito which was grilled chicken breast, maple bacon, melty pepper jack cheese, and their signature Coop Sauce, all bundled up in a warm tortilla. Every bite was the perfect balance of hearty, savory, spicy, and just a hint sweet from the bacon. Their Coop sauce is one of a kind. Tangy, and delicious. I'm sure adding an egg would take it to the next level (that's an option on all burritos). My friends had the Breakfast Burrito! This one comes with fluffy scrambled eggs, sharp cheddar cheese, juicy sausage, more of that craveable maple bacon, herby potatoes, and (of course) the signature Coop Sauce. They raved about every bite. I appreciate that The Coop keeps things simple with their streamlined menu and focus on top-notch burritos. Whenever I see them around town, I make it a point to stop ... even if there's a line, it moves fast and is absolutely worth the wait. Whether you're looking for a new lunch favorite or just crave seriously great street food, The Coop is a true gem on the Virginia Beach food truck scene.

The mango smoothie, blended with pineapple, was fresh, smooth, and absolutely delicious. I arrived right when they opened and was seated immediately, but by the time I left, there was already a line of people waiting for a table. That alone says a lot. Happy Cafe is the kind of place that leaves an impression. Great food, genuine hospitality, and an atmosphere that feels like home. I highly recommend it.

With how busy the shop can get, I could see seating becoming almost nonexistent if people were staying for hours working. It was actually really nice to see people sitting around and having conversations instead of everyone being on their laptops. Overall, a cute and cozy coffee shop with great drinks, friendly staff, and a fun atmosphere. Definitely worth stopping by!
