Taste Buds in North Hertfordshire

£10 for a jacket with cheese and beans and side salad, with a sprite, to take away. Would just about be ok if the actual jacket potato was delicious, but it was not. Was very hard and rushed, because it took 20 minutes of the 30 minutes I had to order, prepare and take away. Will not be going again.

Food nice but overpriced, we bought two pieces of cake to take home with us, £4.00 each and the slices of cake cut were very small. The cafe is overpriced and portions of food small, would not go again.

Staff could have been more mannerly. Big breakfast was alright but pricey. Overall, it didn't excite our taste buds much

Excellent food, was very well cooked & presented, I love coffee & their coffee was perfect! Kind staff & great customer service. I 100% recommend it.

Nice vibe, great coffee and Panini. Menu offers a lot of choice and the team are very friendly. Will certainly return again soon

Personally I found it to be ok, clean tidy friendly attentive staff comfortable seating, outdoor seating area, nice food.

Popped in today for a quick lunch with my daughter. We both has the mozzarella, tomato and pesto panini and shared a portion of chips. We both loved it and there were plenty of chips for both of us. Cafe was busy but not too crowded and service was efficient and friendly.

I ordered an afternoon tea for 6 this week to be delivered to a little spa day for my birthday. Charlotte was very responsive and helpful via email. All ordered in a couple of communications and delivered spot on time locally to Letchworth. I asked for wraps instead of sandwiches, which was no problem and the cakes were just delicious. Thanks all - I will be back!

This was for my wife's birthday and we were delighted with the afternoon tea. We super sandwiches, fantastic scones(with jam and clotted cream) and delicious cakes. There was plenty of food (we ordered for 3 people) and the value is excellent. Communication from Charlotte about the order was great too. Highly recommended!

Did a search on google for best afternoon tea in Hitchin and this place came up in the top 10. As we are not local we contacted them directly and they were so helpful and professional and arranged a delivery of afternoon tea not only for our daughter and her husband but a special one for our Grandson who absolutely loved having his own! The food was all fresh, lots of choice and plenty of it to and our family thoroughly enjoyed it. You will not be disappointed here, we can only thank Charlotte for all the help she gave us, keep up the excellent work

Popped into TasteBuds on Bancroft last week, lockdown restrictions meant we couldn't have a table, however, grab a couple of Jerk Chicken baps ... even typing this is making my mouth water... (I should really ask for the recipe) Hopefully be able to sit at a table in the summer and watch life go by

Thank goodness Taste buds is still open and doing takeout. It is litterally a little ray of light through this lockdown 3.0. We popped down on Friday and had a Sandwich and a Salad box along with two lovely large pieces of cake. Ladies who served us were busy bit friendly and helpful as usual. Thank you for keeping us going!

Having ordered and collected an Afternoon Tea from here, I was as always very happy with the Service and the Wonderful Tea. I’ve been using this place whenever I can and it’s an extremely pleasant experience. Staff are second to none and Food Top Class always. Once again a very happy customer, keep up the good work and hope after Lockdown I can enjoy using more frequently again. Thank you to all

While in Hitchin today my husband and I decided to get lunch of sandwiches and coffee from Taste Buds. In recent years and before lockdown we were regular visitors to the cafe for lunch on Saturdays, at this time we were usually looked after by the same waitress. It was a pleasure to be served by her and food was excellent. We went back again when the first lockdown was lifted and were happy to see she was still there but unfortunately after a very few weeks she left. On our next visit we were served by a person who we have always thought of as the owner but the experience was very different. No smiles and to us what seemed to be a very stroppy attitude. Thinking she may have just been having a bad day we visited again a couple of weeks later but this time it was even worse, same stroppy attitude with food and drinks just banged down on the table. We vowed not to visit again as, with an attitude like this she certainly didn't deserve the business and as customers we didn't feel we should be treated this way. Today however, we relented, the sandwiches have always been enjoyable and we thought we would give it a try for a takeaway. Once again, there were no welcoming smiles and our sandwiches were prepared under the owners supervision by a young girl who was being trained. The problem came when I requested coffee. The board behind the counter offered drinks in regular or large size, I asked for a regular latte and was immediately snapped at and told that the only size available for takeaway is large. I'm not a fan of large drinks, would spend the afternoon looking for a loo and they are mostly closed in Hitchin. The owner then pointed out that her takeaway cups were only a large size. I suggested that she could still use that cup but only fill it with a regular size coffee, I didn't think it would be too much to ask. She clearly wasn't happy with this but snapped that she would do it just this one time. The late was for my husband, so in order to appease her I said, look, ok, make the latte large and I'll have the smaller one as a cappuccino which was for me. At this point, the owner just glared at me with fury and disdain, my request was obviously too much trouble. My decision was made, as a customer I don't need to be treated in this stroppy way by someone who is extremely rude and has no customer service skills whatever. I left the shop, deciding not to buy either the sandwiches or the coffee. It really is a shame as the food is very good but customers deserve to be treated with respect and not just as a nuisance. Further down the road I brought food from the Caffe Elite, the experience could not have been more different. Greeted with a smile, food efficiently prepared and nothing was too much trouble.

I pre ordered and collected a Christmas afternoon tea for my parents as a special treat as they’ve been isolating. They were so happy with the lovely food, the sandwiches were really well filled and full. The sweat treats had a great selection too. Really good value for money and excellent quality. Thank you, would highly recommend. There are sandwiches missing from the photo as I’d already plated the up for my mum.

I had an afternoon tea delivery from here and it was , I think the best afternoon tea I have had either sitting in or taking home. There was a lovely selection of sandwiches and cakes. Scones with jam and clotted cream, sausage rolls and chocolate dipped strawberries. It was all fresh, tasty and well presented. I would recommend it to anyone and will definitely get it again. We had it for our mother's wake. It wS lovely and saved us a lot of stress not having to make it ourselves as due to the pandemic we couldn't have a big send off tea with friends and family. Thank to all the staff for making so nice. We really appreciate it.

Visited for a takeaway lunch to eat in the park with my wife. Found the staff extremely friendly & helpful. My wife had a jacket potato with sun dried tomatoes & pesto. She said it was amazing. I had a chicken & stuffing sandwich which was also amazing. The coffee & tea & food was well priced & we will definitely visit again. Would highly recommend taste buds.

I have visited this cute little cafe many times, today was the first post-lockdown. Food and servuce still great, and great gluten free options, but the tables were very close together and I was a little concerned about distancing. I know it's hard for businesses these days and I will be back to support local trade - but with some caution.

Our daughter arranged a fabulous tea for six people of a summer tea after a church blessing for a Diamond wedding. We were delayed returning but Taste Buds said dont worry we will delay delivery 7 miles from Hitchin. The lovely box of sandwiches was beautiful really well filled and different fillings. The second box contained four different slices of cakes and a large scone, Cream and jam. All quite amazing and very tasty.

My partner’s eldest daughter ordered a surprise afternoon tea for his birthday, which I collected. Taste buds were so friendly and cheerful on collection and the afternoon tea was beautifully packaged up!! On arrival home, I was blown away by the quality of the afternoon tea and the freshness. The sandwiches were soft and fresh, the fruit platter was beautifully cut and tasty and the cakes delicious and moist! I especially loved their tuna mayo and the egg sandwich was one of the best I have had! We all thoroughly enjoyed it and my two younger daughters have requested it for their birthdays now!! Highly recommend ordering one and we will be back soon!

Well this afternoon took our chance of a meal without pre -booking. There were some spare tables time being 1.45 pm. Our meal was so tasty , well prepared and the whole place was run so well. Taste Buds are well organized , so clean but then it always was. Plenty of room social distancing easy, plenty of sanitizers . Tables , chairs cleaned when people left. Charlotte and Charlton and their team are on the ball. They take your name and a contact number as you go in, table service . Well done to all the team at Taste Buds.

I recently ordered 4 x Adult afternoon tea boxes and 2 x Kids boxes from Taste Buds (based in Hitchin), all of which got delivered to our house to help with convenience. Charlotte was so helpful and accommodating.Each person got their own boxes, to help anyone meeting up with others. As it was our first chance to see family since lockdown, it was really special to be able to spend it in the garden together with such a lovely selection of sandwiches, cakes and scones. We got 1.5 rounds of sandwiches per adult, 4 cakes and a fruit scone with jam and clotted cream. Absolutely delicious. Despite so much food, everything went! Thank you Charlotte and team. I would thoroughly recommend using Taste Buds to anyone.Cheers,James

received a lovely gift from family - delivered to our door - so delicious, great selection and very fresh

We ordered afternoon tea as a little treat to celebrate mySons 11th birthday during lockdown, it simply was amazing, a great selection of sandwiches, that were very well filled and a delicious selection of yummy cakes that were enjoyed by all, would highly recommend, fantastic food and excellent service from Charlotte and Charlton, thanks again tastebuds :)

Having read some great reviews about this business I ordered an afternoon tea for my parents as an anniversary treat during lockdown. The service, communication and the actual afternoon tea package were outstanding. The presentation and quality of the food items were excellent as was the delivery service. Thank you so much for making my parents day a special one during these difficult times!

We recently took delivery of a Teatime selection gift one normal selection, and one strictly Gluten-Free, in both cases the selection of Sandwiches was varied, and of a high quality, the sandwiches were well filled and very tasty, the Gluten-Free bread was fresh, and the amount provided was more than adequate, the cake selection was excellent, varied, and of high quality, especially the Gluten-free selection once again the amount provided was more than adequate, Long may Taste Buds prosper in the Town providing a first-class service even in these difficult times

We recently ordered afternoon tea for my wife’s parents, and sandwiches for myself and daughter. It was really easy to order, everything arrived on time and as requested, but best of all the food was excellent !

I ordered a takeaway afternoon tea to share in a virtual birthday party during lockdown and it was absolutely fabulous. The sandwiches, scones and cakes were delicious, fresh and beautifully presented. The owners were quick to respond and make changes due to dietary requirements, and it was delivered straight to our door. Will definitely be ordering again and look forward to visiting once the cafe is fully open again!

I ordered a take away Afternoon Tea for my parents as a treat during this Coronavirus Pandemic and the service I received from Tastebuds was amazing. I ordered via email and received a quick response to confirm my order. I was then able to pay via bank transfer so no need to worry about transferring of cash upon collection. Then when I went to collect it all I had to do was pull up in my car outside the shop and call them. They then brought out the food to my car. This was really appreciated as I didn’t have to worry getting my two month old baby out of the car to go into the shop. The service from start to finish was brilliant. Plus my parents loved it and said the food was amazing! I have actually ordered another Afternoon Tea for me and my husband for next week and can’t wait! This one will be delivered too as we live local (my parents live in Luton)! Thank you for opening and serving us. It’s given me a bit of normal in these strange emotional times! Xx

I have been here twice in a few weeks with friends and enjoyed their homemade soup. Today was pea and ham which was delicious. Have tried their cakes as well and really yummy. Staff lovely and place clean. Recommend and will be back again soon!

Great place to grab a coffee and piece of their lovely cake. They have a good range of sandwich fillings etc

We used Taste Buds to cater for our daughter's birthday party at Pots of Art in Hitchin. Charlton was excellent at planning what we would like in the boxes and he delivered them with a smile to the venue on the day. All the children loved the contents which included sandwiches, homemade fairy cake, fruit salad pot, crisps and a little toy and they were easy as we didn't need plates etc. being self contained and were so easy to clear away at the end. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Having been in this cafe on a number of times, the food ,service and welcoming are of a 5 * experience, would recommend this cafe to anyone. Katrina.

I found Taste Buds online when looking for caterers for my birthday party for over 100 people. I popped in to see Charlton and Charlotte to discuss ideas and from start to finish they have both been incredibly enthusiastic and helpful. My party went so smoothly with such gorgeous food and professional service from the whole team - I didn't have to worry or lift a finger. The goat curry was so tasty and everyone is still talking about it. Everything was just so perfect! I can't recommend Taste Buds highly enough. Thank you Charlotte and Charlton you're the best.

I visit tastebuds for lunch several times a week. Food is always excellent quality and the staff are very friendly. I am always greeted with a smile and they really take the time to get to know their customers. Highly recommend.

I ordered catering for 30 people from Tastebuds for an Office Christmas Party.

Exceptional experience with friendly and exemplary staff. Service is always with a smile and the food is excellent. I have been coming here for years and cannot recommend it more highly.

Fantastic food with a brilliant selection. Very reasonably priced. Quick service which is great when popping out on your lunch hour.

Visited for lunch-lovely menu of freshly prepared items. We had the lasagne, cheesy chips, mozzarella panini and coffee. Served with nice fresh salads. Really tasty food and friendly staff, we will definitely be going back.

Everytime i walk into Taste Buds I'm greeted with a smile and belive me I leave with a smile. What a lovley place to have coffee /lunch ect, Charlton and Charlotte have worked really hard to make Taste Buds the café it is today and you must visit. With a wide range of foods on offer drinks and the most mouth watering cakes in town you can't go wrong.This coffee shop gets a 10/10 from me.

I stumbled across this little gem a good few years ago now and it is now my place to go for the best food and coffee in hitchin. All the staff are lovely and Charlton and cahrlotte have made this place absolutely brilliant, all food and drinks available are brilliant and the cakes are incredible. If you get a chance to vist Taste Buds you shall not be disappointed 10 out of 10 for me.

I went here for lunch with my sister and the atmosphere is very friendly. Food at its best I would definitely recommend this to people.

I pop into Taste Buds when I visit Hitchin not just for a tasty lunch (always delicious and always served promptly) but for the warmth of their service along with the soup and/or roast meat of the day! This is the best cafe I’ve ever eaten in! Everyone is super friendly and I can’t recommend Charlotte’s soup highly enough. The personal touch makes all the difference to me so thank you Taste Buds for always making my day when I visit.k

Just had the best Tuna Mayo Sandwich in the world ever. This tasty sandwich on fluffy white bread was beautiful.... Its gotta be "Lucky Lee's Best In The World" All for £2.80 ... what great value .. and served by great staff .

Taste Buds provided a brilliant reception with Prosecco and canapés, followed by a buffet for 50 members of our Embroiderers Guild. The food was excellent, the service warm and friendly. They set the tables, arranged the flowers and cleared everything away. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Charlton, Charlotte and team.

For my 60-something birthday, we decided to have a day out on the Grand Union Canal with family and a few friends, and to save a lot of hassle, we ordered a lunchtime picnic from Taste Buds.

Came here yesterday. The decor is okay but the seating is very cramped. I had the lasagne which tasted fine, a tiny bit lukewarm. The prices were fine

Popped in on the off chance to have some lunch whilst visiting Hitchin, the restaurant being a 2 minutes way from the main square and crowds.

Brilliant- everything fresh and tasty, particularly the cakes. Really helpful and responsive to our requirements. Thanks!

We try and go to Taste Buds most Thursdays, my wife and I do a charity job in morning and it a great place to go and unwind and chat. The food is always first class and Charlton and Charlotte's team are the best. Their food is always good and as many fillings as you could possible dream up. Great place and a credit to the Town.Love it.

Stopped in here for some lunch with my mum what a lovely place food was very nice and staff were extremely friendly great job guys will be returning thanks

The staff are always very friendly and the food is always very delicious with huge portion sizes and very speedy. Thanks for a lovely lunch :)

Wonderful roast pork sarnie for lunch with a nice coffee - great work! lovely service, thank you. Will be making this a regular spot.

Charlton catered for my mother’s memorial tea after her funeral. What he provided exceeded our expectations and we will probably be eating up cake and biscuits for the next week. It took all the hassle out of catering for a houseful. Crockery, cutlery, flask of hot drinks and juice, cake and biscuits for 40 were delivered whilst we were at the crematorium. They were collected the next day. Several said it was the best memorial they’d ever been to!

My mum visits Taste Buds regularly with her friends so when I said where shall we have lunch, mum said I know a lovely little place. How right mum was. So friendly from the time we walked in, nothing too much for you. They were very busy but organised. I had a jacket potatoes with prawns with a side salad and it was lovely and mum had a toasted sandwich which she said was soo tasty. We had a pot of tea which was tea leaves and a great cuppa. Will definitely be visiting again.

I just love this place to the point if I need to do a slight detour on my travels to eat here before heading home I do. I visit Family as much as I can down in Herts and love to stop off here on the way down and home again. There Roast Baps are to die for and Charlotte and her Team are always so welcoming and friendly, which for a pensioner I find very refreshing.

Popped in with my husband and 11 year old grandson. We were greeted by friendly and helpful staff who led us to our table. Efficient service and delicious coffee and cake. When we asked for a take away cup for my grandson's milkshake as he couldn't finish it all while we were there, one was brought over and filled straightaway. We will definitely visit again. So lovely to get service with a smile.

Sitting in the garden in the sunshine, eating one of Taste Buds' delicious salads. I had the lime and coriander chicken to take away...and I certainly won't be going hungry any time soon and will definitely be hitting my 5-a-day today! Absolutely scrumptious, thanks guys!

First time in Hitchin and hungry for lunch we went into the first cafe we saw. What a fantastic find . Tasty reasonably priced food combined with excellent friendly service. The salads accompanying our meals of grilled chicken breast/chips and lasagna were so much more than the limp lettuce leaf and couple of slices of tomato you get in other places. We will be back.

We popped in here and managed to get the last table, place was full by 12.30. Popular place!

I've been here quite a lot after work. The food, especially the cakes are delicious. The staff are incredibly friendly and I definitely recommend it and especially the cakes, they've never disappointed. The atmosphere is quite calm and relaxing and always makes me feel better if I've had a tough day.

We were a larger group who needed to meet for coffee in morning, and return for lunch a bit later in the day. There was an area reserved for us together, the service was seamless and the staff were super friendly.

Taste Buds recently provided the food for our work event. The food was delicious and received great reviews from staff. Cakes were fantastic too! Taste Buds were incredibly supportive with accommodating with diet requirements. Very professional, friendly and helpful.

We were looking for somebody very special to cater for my young wife's funeral, she was very loved by many and a fantastic cook so it needed to be top notch food, we had 250 people coming. We knew nothing of Taste Buds and found them on the Internet, so visited and met with Charlton and Charlotte and their professionalism shone through, catering for this many people on a Saturday with an early set-up time of 11.30 was going to be no easy feat, but it was done with perfection, the food looked exquisite and tasted devine and so fresh that leftover sandwiches were being eaten the next afternoon, there was so much choice (which they had guided us through) and everybody I spoke to had nothing but the highest praise for it.

Charlton was great at sorting me a party menu at relatively short notice. Good tasting food too....thanks Guys...Give them a whirl..

Wow, TasteBuds certainly knows what makes a great meal and sticks to the slimmingworld principles ! Makes grabbing lunch out so much easier ! (crust less quiche ) Thank you

Man, I can’t believe I’ve lived here for years and only had lunch here for the first time this week. The salad was lovely, it was huge and so tasty. The service was exceptional and I will definitely go back soon. Thank you!

Thank you for the loveliest soup, cake, sandwiches and toasties you've served me over the years. Charlton you and your team are exceptional, there is never a day (and there has been a lot of visits from me) were you and your team haven't greeted me with a smile and the best welcome!

We always order our lunches at work from Tastebuds but this time we had 4 meetings coming up in close succession and wanted to mix it up a bit.

Taste Buds have provided catering for our family for various functions over the last 7 years; the most recent being our son's Baptism and Birthday reception. Taste Buds provided an amazing barbecue for approximately 70 guests, nothing is ever too much trouble for the team and you can rest assured that everything is under control. Wonderful food and service yet again. Would not go anywhere else. Thank you so much TB!

I ordered a cake for my colleagues at work, decorated and with a 'Thank you all' on the top. I was expecting a normal cake and what I got was just amazing! Beautiful and delicious! Thank you, I definitely recommend their services! Mia

Taste Buds delivered on every level yesterday (Thursday 5th July 18) - sandwich order for just under 800 people, with different fillings and gluten free option. Sandwiches were freshly made on the morning, delivered on time, beautifully presented and they tasted amazing - really good feedback from staff. Thank you Taste Buds - you did us proud!

Taste Buds were extremely professional from start to finish. Their staff arrive on time, unloaded and without any fuss set up and attended to everyone present. Many people remarked on how lovely the sandwiches, cakes and other snacks were. All in all faultless. Please pass on our regards to the staff who attended; they were really wonderful.

I seldom visit Taste Buds, but when I do I'm never disappointed. Taste Buds has a lovely atmosphere and is perfect for lunch if in Hitchin town.

Popped in for some lunch. Small cafe with not too many seats so lunchtime can be busy. We were lucky to knab a table. Lots of healthier options on offer here. Husband had a nice roast turkey on granary bread and my blt was nice on nice white bread. Suki pots of quality tea were delicious. Shouldn't really, but couldn't resist sharing a large slice of the chocolate and Beetroot cake. Definitely worth eating.

Taste buds is the best place to get a sandwich in the area... everything that you need and at a easonable price too

A regular lunch spot for me that is warm & welcoming! Fresh and exciting ingredients with a huge variety for myself and vegetarian options for my partner. Hot & cold food available and my highlight is the taste buds daily roast available most days.

Really enjoyable food. Happy to cater for my vegan diet. Lovely, understanding staff. Just brilliant!

Popped in for a quick coffee and ended up staying for my lunch! Fantastic selection and don’t get me started on the cakes Will be back soon!

Had a lovely tea and piece of cake: the cake here is the best in Hertfordshire. Lovely cafe with so much character. We sat out in the courtyard in the sunshine which was lovely. Highly recommend brilliant food and service!

Had a nice coffee in a very friendly cafe in the town. The staff are polite and work hard especially Timen. We enjoyed our time here.

I had always assumed that this was just a sandwich bar but then noticed the seating so we tried it on Saturday with the children. What a lovely, friendly cosy place it is! We sat in the little covered courtyard at the back. The food was delicious and freshly made, and the staff made us all feel very welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be back soon!

A nice little stop off, for late breakfast, or lunch. Staff are very helpful and service is very good. The bacon and sausage sandwich is brilliant. Nicely decorated, always worth a visit; lovely food served up. They also do takeaway if you’re in a hurry.

Visited with my two little girls, friendly staff. Lovely coffee and light and fluffy scone (with clotted cream). Lovely little cafe for a treat

Whether it's a freshly made sandwich, cake and coffee to take away, a crisp, zingy salad or a warm-your-cockles tasty bowl of home made soup this place hits the spot every time! A friendlier welcome will not be found elsewhere in Hitchin. Go to Taste...

Wonderful place to eat lunch, when my wife and I are in town. I always have the chicken, bacon and tarragon pannini and my wife loves their prawn marierose deli salad platter, which is very filling. The portions are generous and the coffee selection is excellent. The staff always remember us and always have a smile.

We have been clients of Taste Buds for many years. They provide a daily service of buffets and hot/cold foods of an outstanding quality. Their staff are very accommodating and are always willing to go above and beyond to help.

I love this Deli/Cafe, 90% of everything they do is homemade. The beef lasagne & chicken curry is lovely. The Deli is filled with so many different options for a hot or cold sandwich. They also do milkshakes which are made with real ice cream. I have tried a few of their cakes & and the last one I had was gluten free white chocolate & raspberry absolutely gorgeous!

Always a fab lunch at Taste Buds. Love the chilli chicken and hot roast pork! Fantastic salads and yummy jackets! Not to mention the delicious cakes! All served by Charlton and his brilliant team with a very warm welcome and cheery smiles! Always a pleasure to eat here!

Love this place, I go every morning from Mon-fri for my lovely double espresso... Once took my brother who lives in Isle of Man he too had a double espresso loved it so much he had a another double... Lovely friendly staff.... Food is great too, as I've been a few times at lunch time, all freshly prepared.....

Lovely food and great service. Lucy was a very friendly host. Would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxed lunch in Hitchin :)

Popped to Hitchin to meet a friend for a catch up with no idea where to go. Whilst walking we came across Taste Buds and thought we'd give it a try. Very friendly and helpful staff and the place is nice and relaxed. Perfect. Thoroughly enjoyed our scrummy cheese toastie. Great selection of cakes including gluten free options. We chose the 'Jaffa cake' and 'ginger and spiced apple', both were delicious and moist. Highly recommend this cafe.

A great little find in Hitchin, where I pop in for a bacon sandwich and a coffee when in the area on business.

Love this place, great to see the independents taking on the big chains and winning. The variety is really good and the quality matches. Love the hot roast meat sandwiches but spicy cajun runs it close. Service is always friendly and efficient. Thanks

The Taste Buds Family care about their customers and they provide a professional and friendly service to everyone who walks through the door, nothing is too much trouble. Taste Buds have also catered for various family functions and the food has never failed to impress. The staff work so hard to maintain high standards and this is why this eatery is always busy. Highly recommend.

I am a regular customer at this establishment both me & my family of five have had many lunches & afternoon teas over the years.

Always friendly, efficient service. Freshly prepared food and beverages. Their spicy parsnip soup is the best I have ever tasted.

I pop into Tastebuds everyday for my lunch, I love their homemade Cajun Chicken Mix. It's fiery & a perfect topping on a jacket potato in this chilly weather. They have a deli full of many fillings so there is something for everyone.

What a delightful Coffee Shop/Deli in the centre of Hitchin. My husband & I visited last Saturday & we had to wait for a table. This wasn't a problem as the staff took our order so as soon as a table was ready we were seated with our drinks.

I come to this cute little eatery whenever I have the chance. The choice of food is vast and delicious, both hot and cold. A quick bite to eat on your lunch break or a nice sit down with friends or family. With Hitchin being far from shy of coffee shops, this place really takes the crown. And most importantly, always served with a genuine smile!
