Reviews of Taste Buds

A. A. M.

A very popular local place, had a very good vegetarian breakfast option and the mocha was amazing ! Recommend booking in advance as the place was fairly busy for indoor sitting. Look forward to trying lunch there after the positive breakfast experience.

T. C.

Amazing place, coffee, staff and service! Second time my family and I go to Taste Buds and omg, the staff are so so friendly, attentive and amazing at what they do!! This place was highly recommended by a friend and I’m happy I gave it a try and it was 100% worth it!

J. C.

J. C.

Lovely breakfast, staff are very helpful and polite. A great brunch cafe too, good coffee

J. M.

Cosy cafe with subdued lightening, but a bit cold inside, from the kitchen door. Eggs Benedict was very good but white was a little watery inside. Overall very good,so I'd go back again. Big pot of tea was nice. Service was very pleasant.

Visited this establishment today. From the very beginning we were greeted with a warm friendly and caring atmosphere. Staff couldnt do enough to ensure that we were catered for. A small business with a big heart. The food was incrediblely tasty (that chicken burger was to die for!!) &well presented. After a long drive to the big shmoke lol it was such a treat to be somewhere where staff went the distance to show care&kindness to people. Its definitely a place i cant wait to return to when i come back to dublin. Thank you for your kindness ❤❤❤

This bistro cafe is a delightful respite from the hussle and bussle of everyday life. Lucan already a beautiful and picturesque has a great addition with this lovely Bistro Cafe. It's staff are friendly and highly efficient. The menu is extremely tasty and very reasonably priced. The coffee a cakes are exquisite. Stop in and take a break from the stressful pace of life.

K. R.

Cute little restaurant in Lucan village. Lots of seating and quick service for a quick bite to eat and lunch time. I had the Christmas sambo and it was full of freshly prepared Turkey ham stuffing the whole works was very tasty and cost 8e. Was lovely.

A. C.

Always excellent food + very good value, never disappoints, staff are all so friendly + welcoming too, my favourite cafe in the area 😊 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

D. M.

Service was nice and food was tasty. Came down very dissapointed from River cafe's food and it made up. Great value.

D. C.

Nice staff and location - food was ok but some room for improvement. Had breakfast bap and the bread didn't taste fresh and meat wasn't the best quality. Eggs and mushroom special was very tasty but a bit dry.

o. 1.

Excellent service. Even in a time like this, polite and keen to please as ever. Not to mention the food is spectacular and the coffee is always delightful. I've never had a dull or bad experience in this wonderful restaurant, nor will I ever with professional and friendly staff in Taste Buds

E. M.

Great place to eat have my breakfast and morning coffee staff excellent.

R. R.

Bistro name Is a little misleading. It's a cafe with typical cafe/pub fry food. Food was good, had the lasagne, very nice. Great value. No covid cert checks for anyone.

N. H.

Great value, lovely food - nicest Rocky Road squares I've ever had, always have to get one!

A. W.

Gorgeous little cafe. Amazing food and the staff are so lovely.

C. S.

Popped in for a quick lunch and a break from driving. Had such a tasty early lunch, really delicious and no wait at all. Perfectly poached eggs with avocado, feta, chili and salad. I was very surprised to hear they're only open four months, everything seems to be running seamlessly

A. B.

Great food with good level of service. I had tried their Light Breakfast. If not in a hurry, try their Full Irish breakfast.

G. K.

Brilliant staff, great food. Recommend highly!

Delicious breakfast, nice staff.. Perfect morning 🙂

c. o. s.

Spanish omelette nothing mind blowing but certainly wasn't disgusting nice all spot for a cuppa n a snack

E. M.

Lovely cafe in Lucan village. They are set up really well for social distancing and the staff are all wearing masks. The staff are so helpful, friendly & efficient. I got the vegan home made beans on toast. It was really tasty and the portion size was huge. My partner got the Migas which had potato cubes, chorizo and black pudding. He thought it was a little bit dry and bland so I took one star away. Still worth visiting this cafe and we will definitely be back

S. T.

Lovely place to have brunch on the weekends, they have such a big selection of items to choose from on the menu, which means it's a tough decision to pick from! Would recommend trying their Healthy Avocado and add the bacon. Never had an issue getting sorted with a table the couple of times we have been. Staff are all very friendly and helpful. They have a lot of regular customers which is great to see and many pop in to grab a coffee to go. Looking forward to my next visit.

d. t.

Staff, management always very welcoming even for takeaway atm.i have to say I've been eating there for the past two years and I've always felt at home,great to see staff chatting and laughing with their customers while the food is excellent and very reasonable. Keep up the good work guys, always a pleasure to be there.

L. C.

Lovely staff, lovely food! I got the Caesar wrap and a slice of carrot cake and the carrot cake was to die for! The staff were very friendly and helpful! 🙂

Y. M.

This little piece of heaven is on my doorstep. Staff are what makes this the perfect place to chill out and the chef and his team 👌the food is wonderful

D. O. N.

Pleasant staff. Food tasty and hot. Delivered quickly. Reasonably priced too! Worth a visit.

H. D.

I was eating my lunch in the taste buds cafe and I was overwhelmed by the friendly staff. I did share a sandwich with my mum but I was so satisfied with the service provided for me. The hygiene is exceptional and very excellent in consumer terms. I do believe that the standards for a person with a disability is excellent and the staff all understand what is said. I am very happy with the taste buds cafe and I would heartily reccomend it for family and friends. From Helen Doherty

Superb, had not been here since.before Christmas, it was like we had never been away! Great service as soon as you walk in the door, great coffee and very, very pleasant staff😉 Always worth a visit😉

R. C.

There today for a take away sambo. Meatball sub was amazing. Staff were friendly and professional. Great value. Would defo go again. These small businesses need our support during lockdown.

V. V. (.

Very nice place. Always welcoming staff. Food Always fresh and delicious 😋

H. S.

Lovely place and very clean...staff very friendly and helpful. Sauces come in a paper cup...maybe something a bit more professional be nice. Very cold outside but restaurant felt chilly. Food really nice ..plain but very satisfying. Really good coffee

O. S.

Amazing food at a very great price. The all day breakfast they do on weekends is delicious. Would definitely come again

K. M.

M. R.

Nice place with very friendly staff and absolutely delicious food ❤

M. C.

My Wife and I just love Taste Buds, the food is amazing and very reasonable. The staff are just the best in the world and make you feel like long lost family with a warm welcome every time we visit. It's a fantastic place to unwind and relax in great surrounds. 10/10 from us.

P. B.

Was theircfor breakfast. Its was realy beautiful. The staff are so nice . Would recommend it

A. K.

Went for brunch today, I got the eggs Benedict they were absolutely delicious, I would have given 5 stars but the brunch menu/light snacks is more of a dinner menu. But the four of us just got breakfast food which was delicious,highly recommend.

C. m. s.

Really friendly staff, helpful during a toddler tantrum!

H. K.

Well it was just a cup of tea and scone. It was take away service. The tea was made to my liking and the scone was a generous size, very fresh and the butter and jam completed same. All in all very enjoyable. 😊

a. m. f.

We came back, couldn't get enough of their food and hospitality! I believe she was the owner, I didn't catch her name, but she remembered us, welcomed us back and remembered our drinks. I never get this at home. The kindness out here has been unbelievable! ♥️❤️ Thank you Taste Buds!!♥️❤️

J. S.

Great food every time, staff are so friendly and helpful. Particularly love the meatball sub and breakfast bap!!

Great place for breakfast. Eggs benedict is good aswell as the egg with avocado and chilli flakes. Service friendly and prompt with requests even at busy times. Can't fault the coffee. Nice window highseats to watch the pedestrians scurry by

Excellent food, excellent service. Sitting area inside is a tad cramped, but still a great place. The waiter and waitress are very polite.

Great little cafe for Sunday lunch, the staff are incredibly friendly and the food is served quickly. Portion sizes are great, definitely not a “less is more” kind of play, tasted great, looked great will definitely be back.

Well worth a visit. Eggs Benedict very good. Prices great. Parking available on main st. First half hour free, thereafter 1euro an hour.

R. H.

Very expensive I thought. €8 for a club sandwich which arrived with nothing else on the plate. No salad, no crisps etc. The sandwich was nice, fresh ingredients etc. but priced very strong. Host was very friendly also.

S. W.

It was only okay, felt like there was no heating on as it was pretty cold in the restaurant I've been here before and I thought the food was good but it appears to have gone down hill a little, I got soup was told it was vegetable but it came from packet thought it would be homemade.....anyhow I don't think I'll be back

The best restaurant in Lucan Village. We were greeted by Judson, who was a gentleman. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left he tread us like royalty. The food is delicious and it's always our go to place for the Sunday brunch.
