Taste buds in Bournemouth

I've been to tastebuds a few times and always been happy with my meal and service but was extremely disappointed today when I went for a jacket potato with vegetarian chilli con carne and cheese. First I had no cheese so had to ask then when I had tasted realised it had meat. I handed back the jacket potato really disappointed and with myself as been vegetarian for years and just eaten meat. The manager came to me without an apology and said I can have a different jacket potato or my money back . Also tried to say I needed to ask for vegetarian optionwhich I did!! I did choose another jacket potato because of the lunch situation I was in but will not return. People with allergies should be very careful.

I recently dined at Taste Buds, and I must say it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a highly professional and welcoming staff, whose attention to detail and warmth immediately set the tone for the afternoon. Their balance of attentiveness without being overbearing made the service not only efficient but extremely pleasant. As for the food, it was nothing short of exceptional. Every dish was crafted with precision, bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors. It was the perfectly cooked main course, and each bite was a delight. The menu offered a great variety, to both traditional tastes and more adventurous palates. Overall, Taste Buds seamlessly combines top-tier service with a culinary experience that leaves a lasting impression. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable meal.

First time here and will definitely be going again. Very friendly and welcoming, amazing food 😁

Been here about 4 times now and every time I’ve been the service has been too draw. It’s a lovley little place, the decors is great, doesn’t feel dated at all like other independents. Wide menu and always tastes wonderful, always had a clean plate. And one of the only place to offer students free coffee. Amazing!

AMAZING FOOD! There was great service and Elly was lovely. Definitely coming back.

Great food. Elly was so lovely great service!

Ava and Elly were so lovely and the food was amazing. 🤩

Elly was very helpful with recommendations, the food and drinks came quickly and were delicious ! would come again :)

£16 for a breakfast and you serve chrap hot dog style sausages. I hope you made a really good profit off me selling me some cheap garbage cause I won't be buying breakfast from you again. Plus the waiter offers a 35 year old man a cheap 5p lolly pop. Was so cringe 😬. Your not a barber shop and I'm not 6 years old 🤦‍♂️🤣. Plus the eggs were all fatty. Definitely not what you expect after handing over £15 for a premium breakfast

Such a sweet spot with a lot to choose from on the menu. Pricing is also good. Very cozy environment for anyone at any age to be in.

Very very friendly man who was serving and cooking. Really friendly couldn’t do enough to help us. The food was fantastic Big plate Quality sausages! Very good food

Amazing food, the staff are very accommodating and are interested in what students are ordering which is nice to see from a local place. Such good quality and prices!! Will be coming back again :)) (Had the quickstart + black pudding that's closer and a full English)

Great place, friendly atmosphere. Would definitely come back.

Food was amazing and fast cooked to perfection smoothie was so good had to buy another this is now my main spot to come grab a bite

I highly recommend. The food was great and the service was wonderful. Will definitely be back!.

Yummy food, great service and a lovely cafe

So good! Outstanding bacon and avocado bagel. So much attention to detail. Welcoming friendly staff Super clean and vibrant atmosphere The mango juice was exceptional This is the spot if you’re searching for a nice cafe to go to daily/weakly

We ordered 3 breakfasts on line yesterday. Easy online ordering. Took just 40 minutes. Presented well. Hot and very tasty. We'll be using them again. Thanks team Taste Buds!

Taste Buds and its staff are incredible. Every single time we've been in the service has been amazing and topped with a smile. We've now been on four occasions and have been greeted at the door and asked how we are. That's not even mentioning the food which is delicious and so well priced. I could not recommend this cafe more. If five stars wasn't the limit, I would give more. Keep up the good work guys.

Very friendly service. Lovely veggie brunch & hot baguette. Very good peppermint & Earl Grey tea, plus yummy Lotus Biscoff shake. Would recommend 😁

Had a great lunch with great service, would recommend 🫶🏻

Enjoyed a really comfortable brunch, good quality food and fantastic service. The staff were really nice and clearly the manager cares about his customers.

Genuinely a very good and positive dine. I ordered the bacon and avocado bagel and added halloumi and cream cheese and it was devine. Liviu, the hardworker, provided excellent service and provided me with a free coffee as I’m a student. ;) 10/10

Very welcoming staff and student friendly. Food was definitely worth and the value and delicious, the best place in Winton for breakfast I have found so far!

Great little cafe! Good food, lovely environment, great coffee, what more could you want, definitely recommend and will be back again, thank you!

I went to Tastebuds few days back with my family and I was very impressed with the quality of the food and drinks. The staff are amazing and professionals and they are pro clients.

Amazing service, such a cute place to grab coffee with friends

Fab Friendly Cafe, popped in for a light lunch and ended up having wonderful homemade cake to take away too! The venue is lovely, clean and tidy and the decor is really nice. The menu has a lovely selection, something for every taste. All freshly prepared and served quickly. Looking forward to foing back.

Very tasty food, very good service, very clean and welcoming place.

Very friendly and welcoming, great fun!

lovely staff, food was amazing too. i will be going back

Lovely little local find. Can’t believe I hadn’t been there before. Have recently had a reno and it all looks fabulous! Lovely and very kind staff. Also sell the BEST triple chocolate brownies in town! Chocolate chunks, not too sweet or rich.. so so good. I will be returning more often!

Love them so much such lovely customer service and devine food :)))

Warmly welcomed, reasonably priced, good food and even better service.

Wasn’t overly hungry but needed something. Found this little place and it’s really nice inside. The chap serving was very attentive but not annoying in any way. Got the little “Quickstarter” breakfast and I can’t fault it. A true little gem hidden in Winton

I came here with my girlfriend for brunch and the food is really good and service is kind and quick

Very lovely staff, great service and unbelievable food Also cracking value

Great vibes, nice little coffee shop. Staff are incredible, sat in for 45 minutes to watch the football and not only were they ok with it but incredibly polite as well. Do recommend if you’re in the area.

Great prices, free student coffees/teas with meals, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Enjoyed the food and drink. Thank you! We will be back lots. Thanks Laru too you were lovely🤍

delicious generously filled food portions, friendly and accommodating staff, exceptional service overall! definitely recommend.

Easy, relaxed welcome but professionally attentive staff. Food was excellent.Had full English and quick start. Highly recommend this place.

Lovely coffee, breakfast and jacket potato. Will be back.

Lovely tasty fresh food and friendly staff. Will definitely return to try out more.

Discovered this cafe for a Saturday brunch after someone coming out recommended we go in! Great varied brunch menu which also catered for vegetarian/vegan without being boring. I asked for no bread and rather than a hole on the plate which is the normal solution, I was offered extra of something else - a big plus. Smoothies also worth trying, very tasty. Lovely atmosphere and decor (love the plants on the wall), and very friendly and helpful staff.

Very good food and coffe and very friendly staff

I had eggs on toast and a cup of toast. Staff were very friendly, restaurant was neat and cute. They had a variety of food. I will go there again to try their pancakes

Went here for a breakfast with my dad, hit the spot exactly and had such lovely service. Will be back!

Delicious food and friendly staff!

This is a great independently run cafe. Excellent service from really friendly and knowledgeable staff. Food was great, fresh and prompt. Coffee was also very good. Chain restaurants simply can’t compete when you get someone who really cares about his venue and customers. I try to always find non chain eateries and this did not disappoint. They are just better when the owner cares about his product and service. Highly recommended.

What can I say, Ava Grace just has the best customer service, positive,polite, friendly and efficient. We go for the amazing food however the other reason is for levii and Ava's Hospitality. Chef thank you for doing amazing job

I recently left a review but have now removed it as towards the end of the day all 5 of my friends and I have had stomach issues. We ate at tastebuds today and have had to had gaviscon all day. The service is amazing and normally the food is really good but I don’t know if they’ve changed an oil or something but we felt really rough today. Thank you to the manger who gave us sweets though.

Brilliant place - fantastic food. Staff are friendly and very accommodating. If you’re in Winton this is not one to miss!

Large group arrived at opening time. All food came up freshly cooked and delicious. Waitress lovely and friendly. Thoroughly recommend

It was a delightful experience! I had a special salad for lunch—a perfect combination of avocado, halloumi, and sundried tomatoes. 😋 The coffee was also very nice. ;)

Very friendly service and delicious food

Ordered a takeaway. Every baguette was very well cooked. Fantastic food.

This place makes my favourite pancakes of all time! It does good coffee, a lovely breakfast, and has great service. I enjoy it every time I go, and look forward to coming back for more.

Friendly staff and good quality food, well presented. The kitchen looked spotless from our view at the table

Lovely lunch at Taste Buds today, great value for money, friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Thank you!

Lovley service, perfect looking inside, food is super delicious and portions are big, I need to go back there soon 😍🤓

A really great little spot on the high street. Fantastic breakfasts, made with good quality ingredients, however still reasonably priced. Lovely coffee and a great cake selection as well. Highly recommend

Great food & excellent service. If you're planning on going to Conto Lounge for breakfast, go here instead 👍🏻

I love this place and the lovely people thst look after you hear, the food is just so lush, I live in Devon but come hear every few weeks to see my chiropractor, so always call in after my appointment

Brilliant friendly service, would recommend it for family looking for a place for a quick snack. Lovely food and would definitely come again! Thank you!

So nice that we had to come back twice Welcoming friendly staff Super clean and vibrant Outstanding traditional English breakfast and delicious home made pancakes made with love and care. So much attention to detail. Even the banana was cut into love hearts If you’re searching for a cafe, and you’re now reading this review. Look no further. This is the spot! And if you’re a student, there’s a free hot drink with your meal 😇

Firstly, i would like to say that i can not fault the service as it was very good, excellent infant But the only reason why I gave a 2 star on the food was that I asked for a smoothie and when it came out it was watery like a squash drink and I was told it was because I didn't have the banana to thicken it up, but regardless of that it should of been thicker with the mango and strawberry's, but I could not see any strawberry. Then I asked for a bagel with avocado and hullomi, and it came out with the smallest amount of avocado, and it would appear to be one slice of Hullomi cut in half. I am not saying I expect massive amounts but the price I thought I could of done better doing it myself at home and cheaper. May visit again for a coffee or tea as the staff are lovely and the place is nice ,but for food no I won't be eating here.

Fantastic food and the host was incredibly welcoming and chatty :)

The customer service was great; our waiter was especially friendly and made the cafe feel welcoming. I ordered a quick English breakfast and the food was plentiful and tasty. Will visit again!

Staff were so lovely and accommodating here. The food was brilliant and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommmend !

I ordered the Max Protein burger with cheese fries, and it was an absolute delight. The burger was cooked to perfection, with juicy, flavourful meat and a perfectly fried egg that added a unique and delicious twist to the overall taste.

Came in for breakfast today and was served by Ava, she was so friendly and patient, the service was quick and lovely food 😊 will be back again!

Everything is perfect here! From the service to food, to environment! Love it

Brilliant friendly service, would recommend it for family looking for a place for a quick snack. Lovely food and would definitely come again! Thank you!

I enjoyed a delicious haloumi and avacado salad, tropical smoothie and fruit flapjack at TasteBuds last week. The cafe was busy when I arrived but my food still arrived really fast. Prices were very reasonable. Staff were polite and friendly and I was happy with the service. I will definitely be eating here again.

What a delicious breakfast and juice we had this morning! Very friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere and impeccably clean. We loved the pink juice! Will definitely recommend and be back. ( My daughter said the hash browns were perfect!)

A GREAT RESTAURANT WITH FRIENDLY AND POLITE STAFF WITH A VERY SELECTIVE MENU AT AVERAGE PRICES SET IN A BUSY PART OF WINTON, BOUREMOUTH

We can't stop going back, we've tried loads of different food dishes and everyone is delicious

First time ever been here definitely won't be the last. Top quality breakfast. Great friendly staff and clean environment 👌

A lovely little gem in Winton! Very tasty breakfast, fresh ingredients and good price value. I strongly recommend the Salmon breakfast. All topped up with a very friendly, fast and impeccable service! I’ll definitely be back 😊

Lovely breakfast, lovely people. Thank you. If you want a good cooked breakfast, come here. You won't regret it. Hash browns optional.

The food is good and the staff was really friendly!

I had breakfast here today, it’s one of the best experiences I’ve ever been… 😍😍👍 Food and service and price are wonderful…

Food is great! Server is nice and polite. The atmosphere there is calming, quiet. It’s a lovely place.

Friendly staff, very attentive, decent prices and good food.

Great food and nice atmosphere the staff there are absolutely lovely. Will definitely be making this a go to spot

This cafe/restaurant is the best! The first time i came i was amazed at the amazing food and the customer service is always outstanding! I always come here now😊 I would’ve go anywhere else!

Went there two days ago for the first time with some friends and had the best experience. The food, the customer service and the overall vibes were very good. I got the classic burger with fries on the side and it was really tasty. Will definitely be going back and recommend to anyone looking for a cute brunch spot! - Rey

Great brekkie. The reviews don’t lie. Lovely service,

Firstly the server/ manager is extremely friendly. Me and my friend both had the full English breakfast which was cooked to perfection with all the items being clearly very high in quality so we both agreed this is one of the best breakfasts we’ve ever had. As I was a student I had a free coffee which was very nice too. Considering the quality and portion size the price is great. Definitely recommend going here over anywhere else in winton or even Bournemouth.

Lovely food, very friendly staff. You will have an advantage if you have student card ;) highly recommend!!

Yummy food, incredibly friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere

The staff are very friendly and attentive. the food was outstanding and good value for money, will be returning soon.

Really nice coffee and food. We had a really good time :)
