Really disappointed in our experience. They've produced really great food in the past. My wife had a waffle, the fruit looked like it had been cut up about a week ago, was pretty gross. The service pretty much treated you like they didn't want you there, and while they weren't very busy, ran out of coffee & water and only refilled after a line of about 10 people were standing asking for more. Nor did they have basic amenities in their bathrooms. Not kid friendly. Sad to see a good thing fall apart.
This has been a fav since college. The food is so delicious, and like artwork, in the mid pricey range but not expensive. The staff is usually friendly [in my experience]. You can veganize anything [at least I was able to] and the waffles are so bomb, so fluffy and piled with fruits! The chai is ok, but I'm a chai snob...but it's decent. Not the best. But it's a great place! Kinda crowded inside..can be loud.
My girlfriend and I got two sandwiches from Taste and our experience is as follows. I got the roast beef. The bread seemed like is was old. Old to the point where it hurt my mouth to eat it. If it wasn't old then it was super hard. I am currently touching wounds in my mouth left by the bread. I'm going to to hand the phone to my girlfriend to adequately describe her experience. Okay this is Amanda, like John said the bread was old and hard. The inside of the veggie sandwich was slimy and room temperature without much flavor giving me the distinct feeling of eating a booger sandwich. Extra gross right? The only good part of the meal was the fries, but you have to work really hard to screw up fries. And even then, fast food fries are better and cheaper. All around bummer. John again. So that's it. Maybe an off day at Taste. If I posted the photo of Amanda's sandwich you'd understand better.
While waiting up front for my food, I had to listen to a loud verbal assault on one of the employees, coming from the kitchen. There was a female screaming at someone for throwing away a plastic container. This must have been the world's most valuable plastic container, because she threw a tantrum for 5 minutes, full of obscenities and disrespect. When my wife complained to someone at the counter, they said, "It's OK, it's the head chef. She can do that." Since when is verbal abuse of an employee tolerated like this? Don't bring your children here. We won't be returning.
Man, what has happened to Taste? This used to be our favorite breakfast spot. We went in there recently and the food was not great, the service wasn't either and I actually felt sick afterwards. I hope they can turn it around.
