This is such a cutie place to have afternoon tea. I've done it twice and both times were amazing. Each month they have a different menu for the sweets and savories. Everyone is kind and attentive and helpful. It's so cute inside and you feel a little like you've stepped into another time. Will be taking my friends here for each of their birthdays. read more

Enjoyed afternoon tea at taste. All the desserts were well made, especially the chai macaron. The savory food was a 10/10 too. Just a lot of food. Be prepared to take some home. Service was great and the Inside of the cafe was soooo cute. Will definitely be coming back! I want to try their lunch menu too read more

Hot take: I think this place is overrated and looks/feels boujee....but doesn't show it in the food and service. They started opening late so we came for some lava cake. They just put the spoons directly on the table and gave us the cakes still in the tin inside a ramekin. When I came years ago, I swear they used to serve ice cream with the molten cakes and they would be out on a plate. Either way....not the greatest experience. And we almost got charged more than what the cost was on the menus. read more

We came here for my sister's birthday and booked the afternoon tea party--it was so cute! We each got to choose our own tea, and the chef brought out a beautiful spread of finger sandwiches, biscuits, and little desserts. Everything was so delicious and thoughtfully done. The girls who served us were all so sweet, helpful with any questions, and gave us great suggestions. Such a fun and delightful experience! read more

I came here with my friend as a little birthday celebration as our birthdays are less than two weeks apart in February. I tell ya, I don't take a trip to Provo lightly. Provo is not my favorite place. But when I saw that this spot existed, I promptly made us a reservation. We did the high tea. I had the iced chocolate drink after much debate. It did not disappoint. (My fear in ordering those types of drinks is that there will be ice chunks. Thankfully, there were none.) All of the food and treats were so good, too. Our server also did a good job. I loved the decor. It just was styled so well. There's also a little area where you can shop and buy chocolate. I was tempted but did not succumb. This is a gem of a spot, and I wish it had existed when I lived in Provo. Definitely check it out if you haven't yet. read more

Such a cute little place to have a tea party at in downtown Provo. Stopped by bc I saw on TikTok somebody mentioned that they have locally made artisan chocolate- and I always like to bring little sweet treats home as pasalubong (souvenirs/gifts) for friends and family! They have samples of the chocolate by the cashier so try it before you buy it! The toffee was so good, but too bulky for me to take home but we tried the chocolate with the cacao bitters and spice (forgot the name but it's part of the university series) and I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was! I love that they have different chocolate highlighting different places in Utah. The server/cashier Abby was so nice and friendly, gave some great recommendations for the chocolates and just an all around great server. Next time I come here I'd love to check out the tea experience since everyone around us was getting it- it looked delicious! I imagine coming here during the holidays or a special occasion is a great treat read more

I love Taste! It's a really cute place that's perfect for dates and tea parties. I took a tour of their chocolate factory, and they explained the entire process of making chocolate. It was pretty interesting. I'm a huge fan of bean-to-bar chocolate and they have chocolates from all over the world available at their store. Their hot cocoa was delicious; very rich in flavor. I tasted some of their chocolates, and my favorite was Mt. Timpanogos, which has honeycomb in it. While I enjoyed my time there, I felt their experiences and desserts were overpriced, hence the 4-star. read more

There were things I liked, and things I loved. Love the decor and the balsamic vinegar. Liked the food. They boast about having exceptional hot chocolate. I was not impressed. Not only have I made better, they used fake whip cream giving an oily mouth feel. The taste of the chocolate was ok. The salad that came with the samich was bitter, but the balsamic dressing had me eating it anyway. The "soup" tasted like tea. It was ...odd. They ask you to tip before you get your food, like a fast food place. Which is difficult to do. read more

I've been here twice in the last week. My niece and I stopped in for some dessert last week and I saw that they had a food menu as well. We tried out the dessert and joined some last spots for the chocolate tasting and factory tour. The employees were informative and fun! We had a great time. The dessert, chocolate and even vinegar samples were amazing. My friend and I returned later in the week and I loved our experience. The food, presentation and employees were once again fabulous. The ambiance is fantastic and the decor is so tasteful. (Pun totally intended). read more

Afternoon, tea! So exciting! I got the ginger, mint tea and my friend got the Coco. We started with an assortment of sandwiches, then moved onto the scones with jam and mascarpone and ended with an assortment of delectable desserts. We sat at the front table next to the window. The sun was shining and it was a terrific spot. Afterwords, it's nice to look at all the different items you can purchase and take home. I got a few fun things and I had to get a piece of the devil's food cake with raspberry custard. Last time I got the coconut cake to take home, and I tried it with the raspberry vinegar. Super yummy! You have to make reservations in advance for afternoon tea. It was my friend's first time having afternoon tea and she enjoyed it immensely we both did she made reservations for the next weekend for her daughters birthday. I will definitely be back there are still so many different things I want to try. read more

Garrett my server was so friendly and helpful, he guided us directly to the most Mexican chocolate in the establishment!!

This review is for the chocolate tasting experience! Such a posh and classy date night or experience with friends! We got to tour the chocolate making factory and learned all about how their chocolate is made from the bean to the bar! Our hostess was kind and knowledgeable and answered all of our questions well. After the little tour and explanation, we sat down to our tasting experience. It was all laid out beautifully and our hostess instructed us on how to properly taste the chocolates to get the full experience. She then explained the origins and complexities of each chocolate variety. We had little note cards to take notes and water to cleanse the palette. They also include some drinking vinegars for the more adventurous foodies. The fancy Nutella they gave us was TO DIE FOR. After the event we got to browse their selection of chocolates and purchased a few at a discounted rate. We loved this experience and would love to do it again another night! It's definitely a fabulous upscale experience that any chocolate lover or foodie would enjoy! read more

First time trying this place. Very unique and a little fancy atmosphere. They don't have high chairs at all. They have a smaller menu. We tried every sandwich. My favorite sandwich was the spanakopita. We also each got their season soup which was white cheddar cauliflower and it was absolutely delicious. We tried the scones which weren't even really scones, they were more like biscuits. We also tried the molten cake and the s'mores dessert. The molten cake was good and moist but didn't have any chocolate that oozed out like molten cakes usually have. The s'mores dessert was so dang good though and it was unique. My 2 favorite things we got was the soup and the s'mores dessert. read more

The service was very friendly and helpful. The drinking chocolate was wonderful as was the chocolate tea. We also got their soup of the day which was very tasty. We would love to be able to be there when the factory was open and we could see them making chocolate or for thursday night for the fondue. read more

Rating (maximum points = 5) Value for money: 5 Cleanliness: 5 Food Quality: 5 Customer Service: 3 Look and Feel (Ambiance): 5 Thank you, Come Again?: 5 Did you know that Provo offers one of the most affordable afternoon tea sessions? If you didn't and you're an afternoon tea fan I would highly recommend taking a trip to Taste 117. It was roughly $28 a person. Highly affordable and they have tasty selections. At the Grand America Hotel in downtown SLC, the starting price is $40 a person. I've been to the Grand America four times for afternoon tea and their menu has not changed and gotten stale. Taste 117 absolutley satisfied my urge for something fresh. Please note that it's recommended to go on their website to reserve a spot. On the website it's possible to also pre-pay. Drinks: I went with the classic Black Tea and my partner isn't a big tea fan. We ended up getting a Cacao Tea (comes with a French press). Both were equally delicious. Savory: classic cucumber sandwich, roast beef sandwich, turkey strawberry puff pastry, and blackberry compote with goat cheese on a blini pancake. Recommendation to add some sort of au jus dipping sauce for the roast beef. It got a little dry after the second bite. Sweet and Savory: Buttery Scones with Raspberry jam and clotted cream. I'm salivating just thinking about it. The scone was soft on the inside and a bit crisp on the edge. Reminded me a bit of a the pie crust from a Marie calendar's Pot Pie. Sweet: Three chocolate items were offered. 1/ Devils Food Cupcake (chocolate cake with spiced whipped cream), 2/ Brownie (decadent dark chocolate brownie), 3/ Blackberry shortcake and cream (this was cream and refreshing). Recommendation to change up the sweet variety. By the time my party ate the desserts, they all felt one note. Chocolate Brownie, fresh fruit tart, and some sort of custard base pudding would be a good trio. Overall, I can't wait to return and bring in my friends and family. The only issue we had was that there weren't many customers in the restaurant and so the staff was focused on cleaning and being in the back room. There were a few times where we needed to go search for the staff when we needed something or we were left completely alone in the store front. This poses a security risk for the staff or the customers. Recommendation to check on your customers even when it's slow. Never ever leave the front unattended. Would you go? Let me know. Follow me for all the Salt City sips and trips read more

If you're looking for a fun, unique, and tasty experience, this place is it! We walked in and I was I immediately in love with the interior. Adorable decor and seating! Let me start off by saying I went with friends for afternoon tea, and "Taste" is an accurate name for this place. I went in expecting to still be hungry after all the little "tastes" that went with our tea but we were all pleasantly full! You get a lot of small tasting portions. There is one of each taste for each person in your party. We loved everything we tried! I had the frozen hot chocolate and it was divine - though very rich, and they do give you a large cup! I will definitely be back to try more fun tasting menus, which change seasonally! Very fun and yummy restaurant. read more

Very cute, very styled! I enjoyed afternoon tea service here at Taste and it was lovely. There was a nice selection of options including teas, chocolate drinks and vinegar based drinks. I opted for tea; it was steeped a little week for me, so next time I'll probably ask for extra strong. The tea service includes a tea time lunch consisting of assortment of sandwiches, scone with spread and an assortment of dessert. Each food item was great and had attention to detail that I can appreciate. The service was great. The waitress was friendly and attentive. We made sure to tip with cash since the reservation is paid online. read more

Want to savor some of the best chocolate from around the world? We LOVE chocolate. We really love this @havetaste chocolate collection that they created with @exploreutahvalley that have exciting and complex flavors. We have done tastings at Taste (great date idea) and return regularly for killer chocolate cake, ice cream, and other fine chocolates made right here in the adjoining kitcheAnd this brownie. Brownie is not a worthy descriptor this this Amazing concoction; it rises above and exists in its own stratosphere of culinary delights. #taste #chocolate #exploreutahvalley #yelp #yelputahcounty #buylocal #eatlocal #artisan #artisanchocolate #yelpelite #foodie #chocoholic #foodiesofinstagram #firstweeat #foodiesfirstweeat read more

Super cute store. I love how cute this place is. I ordered takeout and think the cashier forgot about me because I was waiting for quite a while. I had ordered my food online and even called ahead to let them know what time I would be there to pick up my food. I have been trying to limit where I go with covid, so did not want to wait in the store for long and thought I'd save time if I ordered ahead and called ahead. I asked the waitress if my order was ready and she said it was and went and got it. When I got to my car, I had a sip of my hot chocolate, expecting it to be hot... it was barely warm. I decided to wait to drink it and warm it up when I got home. The hot chocolate was super thick! You can definitely tell they use cream in the hot chocolate. It tasted much better warm. I did add some milk to thin it out since it was so rich. The s'more cup was good. That was my favorite out of everything I ordered. It was super rich too. The s'mores had a chocolate mousse with cookie crumbles and was topped with marshmallow cream. I would order this again. The brownie was very rich, as well. Two brownies come in one order and a little brownie goes a long way since they are so rich in chocolate. read more

We loved our time in taste. We went there seeking a boujee sweet treat and they delivered. We tried the iced chocolate with oat milk (the best of the dairy free options IMO) which the server recommended. The pricing is great for the quality you receive. The outside/Inside is lovely. You feel like you're stepping into a cafe in Europe rather than in Provo, UT. They make chocolates on site and the owners are super knowledgeable about all things chocolate We took a few things to go that were nice for the road - a dairy free bar of white ginger chocolates and a bottle of alcohol free Chardonnay. I can't wait to go back and try other things on the menu! read more

Tea for two was such a great time. There are so many fun drinks to choose from, we could not even choose one. The presentation is top notch, I cannot wait to go back again!

Several years ago, I booked a double date for a tasting here with my sister and her hubby, and then the day prior, decided to go on a road trip to California instead. Though I certainly did not regret the spontaneous vacation, I have oft sighed over my missed tasting, and expressed the need to make up for flaking out on my sister (don't think too poorly of me - I gave the tickets to some of her friends and they had a grand time!). She has since attended several events here and it all sounds like such fun! Last Saturday, my sister and I got together, and finally remedied my failing with a mini tasting. Taste is located in Provo's cutie downtown area, so there is a little parking out front, but not much. I had to pass by and loop back around to get a spot on a side street. We arrived a little after lunch, and they had about ten other customers, but only one employee working for the first little bit, so we waited a couple minutes to start. It was totally fine, though, and we took the time to chat and sip some water, not to mention admire the gorgeous interior of this saloon. I'm told they took inspiration from the movie Chocolot, which I can totally see, with their gorgeous marble bar and counters, dark wood, and gilded accents. A couple ended up joining us at the bar, and then we got started! Taste makes their own chocolate, and we tried two varieties, but they also have many other craft bars (the only place in Utah with more would be Caputos!), so we sampled an assortment of brands and styles. The sweet girl who assisted us asked about preferences of dark vs milk, and made selections based on our answers, but she also threw in a bar I doubt anyone would have chosen based on its description, Domori's Biancomenta. This comprised true white chocolate blended with mint, making a gorgeous verdant buttermint-esque treat. It was totally luscious, and I now I wish I would have bought ten of 'em! We also had Pump Street's famed sourdough, and finished with a real stunner, Friis-Holm's (my most favorite chocolate maker!), triple-turned Chuno. She gave us a quick lesson on the basics of chocolate and detailed directions on how to taste it. Next, we tried some drinking and white balsamic vinegars, along with olive oil. Again, we received tasting instructions, and it really made a difference! The whole thing took about twenty minutes, and is a great deal at $8 per person. They sell everything we tried, along with myriad other goodies. I was going to take one of their giant cookies home, but they were made with milk chocolate, and I wasn't feeling it. These were the only baked goods on display, but now I wish I would have looked over the menu more closely, and inquired about alternatives, as I imagine I could have gotten a brownie or one of the treats that are included as part of their afternoon teas. And yes! They offer teas, which include all sorts of sweet and savory baked goods (they post them weekly on IG) served on one of those fancy triple tier tray things, so it is pretty adorable and perfect for a date or girls get together. I believe they must be reserved ahead of time, same goes for the formal tastings (there are a variety, including special ones for holidays). Mini tastings are available any time, though! Lastly, you can simply dine in with a sandwich, soup, or various baked goodies, along with hot, sipping, or iced chocolate, tea, sodas, even de-alcoholized wine! read more

This is my fourth visit for afternoon tea at Taste and definitely won't be my last! Each month the tea menu changes and it's always fun to see what new seasonal items will be served. Though the individual delicacies are small, I am always full by the time I work through all 3 tiers of the the tray. The servers are always so kind and do a great job of explaining the menu. The ambience at Taste is part of what makes being here a great experience! When I enter the building I feel like I'm stepping into a simpler time where I can sit and sample a variety of tastes while enjoying time with those I love. Be sure to reserve a spot in advance, as times fill up quickly. Each "tea time" is made to order, but when given advance notice, they can package afternoon tea to go. This is a great location for girls' brunch, baby showers, bridal showers, or bachelorette parties. You won't be disappointed! read more

Honestly, anything less than 5 stars is unacceptable. I've been coming to The Taste since it first opened. I've done chocolate and vinegar tasting, afternoon tea, fondue, and their Valentines packages. They are amazing every single time. I use The Taste as a "no fail" date with my wife because it is always good and always great quality. I don't know who the chef is but the food is probably the best in Provo. I love the crème brûlée and the amaretto hot chocolate. Service is always great. Ambiance is amazing. I love to work from here instead of a coffee shop. read more

We went to Taste for dessert. My wife loved the atmosphere. They make their own chocolate their and make their desserts from scratch. We got the S'mores Taste Style and Molten Cake. For me the chocolate was too dark and needed more sugar but my wife thought it was perfect. You can also do chocolate tasting and tea. read more

The ambience and cute inside is definitely the most desirable part about the place. The inside is very cutely adorned and has a tea party-esque feel. The food itself was very mediocre. The turkey prosciutto is over powered by the sweetness of the fig dressing. While all of the ingredients do pair well, the execution isn't don't properly. The saltiness of the prosciutto doesn't come through to cut the sweetness of the brie fig, which ruined the sandwich for me. The croque monsieur was overly salted at best. There weren't any flavors coming through in the dish other than an occasional salty bite and the taste of seemingly burnt hair. The side salad was fine albeit low effort, just leafy greens, chopped cherry tomatoes and a balsamic glaze. The potato salad was an experience, to say the least. The potatoes tasted as they had been made in an air fryer and left out on the table overnight. The potato salad needed a level of creaminess and was missing the classic flavors of potato salad. Personally I feel it should've been served warm and could have been done as topped potato wedges. The mint steeper was the best thing on the table today, I would like a deeper flavor profile and would probably opt for mint ginger if I were to reorder. The service was standard, nothing exceptional or rave worthy but nothing to complain over either. read more

Molten chocolate cake was good, but not great. Service was fair, slow and not very welcoming over the lunch hour.

When I hear there is a artisan, locally made chocolate factory in Utah, I come a running. I am a chocoholic, chocolate snob, and chocolate connoisseur = all words that describe me. HOT COCOA: They have three different types-- regular hot cocoa, cold hot cocoa, and sipping chocolate. The cold one is the smoothest frozen hot cocoa you'll ever get. The regular is deep and decadent and the sipping chocolate, though comes in a shot size glass, it so thick and dark, you'll have a hard time finishing it. Get them all; you won't regret it. CHOCOLATE BARS: My favs: Taste: Madagascar -- 75% cacao, mild citrusy back note. Comforting flavor. Ritual: Bourbon Barrel Aged -- 75% cacao. Very smooth, I want to just melt into it! Fruition: Hudson Bourbon Dark Milk -- similar to the Ritual but with 61% cacao so mildly sweeter. Other honorable mentions: Taste: Mt Timpanogos-milky chocolate with honeycomb bits. Taste: Bridal Vail Falls- tastes like the forest. Taste: Equador- more earthy flavor. Monoa: Goat milk- you can def taste the goat milk. Pump Street: Sourdough & Sea salt- this brand is unique as each has a diff. type of bread. The sourdough brought a slight sourness yet saltiness to the cocoa. Taste: Rowley's Red Barn- tasted like Fall! Mellow wassail flavor. Very nice. Amedei: Pistacchi- probably the best white chocolate I've ever had. Super creamy and not too sweet. TEA TIME: So much girls night fun! It comes with one drink and an tower of assorted pastries and desserts to share. It's about $28/person and must make a reservation in advance. read more

Sometimes, it just takes the words, "Chocolate Tasting Event," to get my a** out the house and meeting up with some of my lovely Yelp foodie friends! Taste Chocolate Shop and Factory, in downtown Provo, UT is a beautiful vintage-style shop, that serves their local house-made chocolates, other gourmet chocolates, delicious food, afternoon tea, fondue and more! I am officially addicted to their frozen hot chocolate, thanks to the suggestion of my friend! It's really rich and smooth! That alone could've been my dinner! Instead, I also got their Turkey, Prosciutto, Brie and Fig Dressing Foccacia Sandwich. (Did I mention everything is made from scratch there and, not just the chocolates, but also their focaccia bread, dressings, cakes and so many more items!) I also couldn't leave without getting a slice of their weekly cakes (Coconut Crunch) and several of their award winning chocolate bars! These will make excellent gifts, for my upcoming travels - the chokkies, not the cake, silly! lol I'm looking forward to going back and enjoying some Afternoon Tea or some Fondue there, but you just need to make sure to give 24hrs notice. Taste also has great holiday and weekend events, so make sure to peep those too! Hope you go check out this super delightful shop! Cheers! xx read more

Great food and friendly service. The interior was really nice and felt cozy. Sandwiches and desserts were both great.

Loved this place so much! My best surprise in this new visit to Provo. Really lovely. I felt like I was back to Barcelona to one of those old cafes you can find in the Gothic quarter. My intention was initially to get coffee and, honestly, was not expecting the interior to be so divine looking, cozy and photogenic. My boyfriend did not to convince me too hard for us to stay and get some hot chocolate. He ordered the sipping choco and that was actually the one I drank (as the consistency is thicker, contrary of what the name would suggest). Mine was more a light choco drink, so we exchanged our drinks but we both loved the flavor. We also got chocolates from Madagascar made in Provo itself (they have the mini-factory just next door) as my boyfriend's son was in mission in that country and would be a great memory for him to get chocolate from the beans from there. They had a great assortment of fine vinegars and oils. Even if pricey, I could not resist to get a cassis and a passion fruit vinegar bottles as well as lavender infused olive oil. There products are from Nice, France, not local, but actually were cheaper than getting them online and they were too tempting. Great service by great looking folks too! Next time I go there I will try the tea service, it looked fantastic. read more

I haven't been to Provo for years but Taste will definitely get me back soon. This cute little cafe made us feel like we were on vacation. We both had the Turkey Prosciutto Sandwich that came highly recommended. It was a perfect blend of flavors with the Brie and fig jam. Can I just say WOW to the Butternut Squash Gnocchi Soup that left me wanting to lick the bowl. My daughter loved her Mint Hot Chocolate which will be the perfect accompaniment when we visit again for all of their delectable looking desserts. The customer service made our visit even more enjoyable. I wish I would have gotten the young man's name who stopped by our table. I asked if he was the owner because he carried that type of vibe. read more
