Taste is slowly becoming one of my favorite lunch places for a good sandwich. This one in particular is my favorite because of the hipster and enviromental-conscious aurora. A Sunday brunch visit was very crowded, but there's so many places to go. They have an outdoor garden market (summer season), an outdoor section to bring kids and dogs, and a large indoor section where you can shop for drinks, peanuts, free tasting stands, wine, merch, and much more! Plentiful parking with a large private lot and friendly staff. The wiches are wonderful, of course, try out The Hilltop sandwich. Very local and hipster feel. I would go back here again as it was a nice place to go for a hot summer day. read more

I got a salad and my husband got 2 sandwiches! So good! We sat outside in the grassy area with our dog and just enjoyed the sunshine. Great vibes read more

We decided to come here for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon after running some errands. It was hot but we decided to sit outside since we brought our pooch. Haven't been here in a long while. I used to get a sandwich that I can't now recall the name of but it was prosciutto and mozzarella with tomato and basil. I saw that they changed up the menu and was feeling like a salad. Totally broke my veganism and we both ordered Cobb salads. My, my, they were delicious! The dressing was so creamy, the chicken was so moist and tender, the bacon, croutons, blue cheese, avocado, and egg all make it into a delicious, filling lunch! I loved it so much, my husband picked it up for me as a surprise on his way back home today! I love this location a lot more than the Norfolk one as it's much more scenic and farm-like feeling. I also like looking at the estate-looking retirement home across the way- ha ha. Very beautiful location with great selections. read more

Needed to get a break from the hotel restaurants while on vacation with the family so we stopped at this cute sandwich shop along Pacific. The menu looked good and the little market inside was well stocked but in the end the sandwiches were kind of flat and blah. Mine was ok - a summer special "The Pungo" which was a fairly tasty pulled pork with extra BBQ sauce and cole slaw but it was disappointingly small and the brioche was basically flat by the time I got it. My wife's was a smoked turkey and toppings on gluten free and it was horrible. Aside from the bread breaking before she even started, the turkey was bland and had that store bought feel. Just lacked any substance at all. Most of the rest of the family suffered the same. The best of the sandwiches was PBJ on white. Plain old PBJ. I just don't recommend the place. read more

Slow and bad service. Food is good but the wait is way too long. Unfortunate as it used to be a great place. Priority likely goes to carry out. read more

The food is great, but be prepared to wait. Stopped by at 1:15 on a Saturday and waited 45 minutes for two to-go sandwiches! Don't stop unless you have a lot of time. read more

Taste really needs to speed up the food prep operation. I'm currently in here waiting. In the thirty minutes I've been waiting they have taken on more orders and have put out less food. The price is not worth the wait even if the food is good. read more

Perfect stop off of 13... sandwiches are made-to-order, fresh, and delicious. Tons of great options for sweet treats, savory treats, sodas, wine, beer, they've got it all. Ample indoor and outdoor seating, fast service, incredibly clean facility. Even space for fun games outside. Big fan, well deserving of the 5-stars!! read more

Good sandwich, good service and chill place maybe tad bit over priced but overall decent.

Fantastic and fresh sandwiches and salads. You can dine inside or out on picnic tables. Get the Cobb Salad - so good and the buttermilk Bourin dressing is fantastic. My 13 year old enjoyed a "create your own" sandwich on fresh bread with tasty, juicy chicken breast. So good. Simple is best and TASTE has it down! read more

Taste unlimited is one of my favorite local restaurants for fresh quality sandwiches, salads and soups. They have a seasonal menu that changes but most of the items they bring back if it's popular. This particular location is my absolute favorite even though it's steadily busy. The food and service here makes it worth coming to even though I have one closer to my house. They have a refrigerated section with grab and go sandwiches and salads but I always prefer to order mine and wait because the selection is random. They don't sit for long though and the stock is constantly being replenished. The soups and salad come with a piece of fresh French bread. I underestimated how filling an order of soup was when I first ordered it ( white bean chicken chili was phenomenal). Don't forget to try their flavored teas and gelato/ sorbets! The apricot tea and coffee gelato is my favorite. read more

Oh yeah, this place is right up my alley, Organic Food Loving Hippies... I've been to Taste twice now and its been insanely packed each time; like to the point of being able to get sexual w/the person beside you. I'm not a fan of crowds either, but this place is awesome. The food is so fresh and honest. Yeah, honest, lol... just made that up. But you know how you eat something bad for you, and even though its good, you feel like shit (sort of like a one night stand), eating here gives you life, lol. You don't want to go home and take your lazy ass to bed, or sit in the chair for another 20 mins because you overate, you want to continue about your day. This is what food should be, it should give you energy, not take away from it. So I've only had two things thus far, the crab cake, which was amazing! No detectable filler, great portion size, and reasonably priced. The only negative is how it had no remoulade sauce. While the crab cake itself was really moist, the overall sandwich was faintly dry because it was essentially, lettuce, crab, and bread. Very delicious though. I also had the Princess Anne, which is a vegetarian sandwich. Veggie prudes will love this one... I thought it was excellent, although, the roasted bell pepper can make your bread a bit soggy if you don't eat it right away. Wasn't too happy w/that. The next time I'll definitely omit those. All in all, I love this place... Definitely plan on being a regular. They also have a cute little Wine of The Month Gathering, and a ton of expensive merchandise that you're still going to want to buy, despite the price. read more

Fabulous sandwiches in a great location and tons of extras to offer. You can't live in VB without having a taste sandwich. Taste offers handmade sandwiches with fresh local ingredients. I had half a northender, and my boyfriend had a Ghent. The northender had bacon, smoked turkey, tomato, romaine, havarti, and basil mayo. It's always delicious and refreshing. My boyfriend enjoyed the Ghent. While the food is good, taste offers so much more. While you wait for your sandwiches, browse the wide variety of wines, chips, dips, and freshly made sides. Not only this, but they offer so many different drinks! The layout was nice with both indoor and outdoor seating. read more

This place is awesome. Although I will admit that I am slightly biased to places that are dog friendly. However, this place takes it to a whole new level. They even let dogs inside the building (within reason - your dog can't be crazy or bad). Just to be polite, we did eat at the outdoor patio as it was a nice day outside. However, during the winter we ate upstairs. The service here is fantastic. All the employees were eager to assist and help us with any questions or issues we had. With regards to the food - all the food is made with fresh ingredients. This is a nice touch as we like to "try" to eat better food if possible. To top that off they also now serve some local craft beers. They don't have a whole lot of them but still the choices they had were quite amiable - especially considering they were all local. The facility in the summer months has a cool outdoor corral that allows for a nice environment. The upstairs is always nice an convenient for those winter months with regards to seating and space. I really do like this place a lot as it has the "local" feel while being friendly and not snide to customers. I have yet to have a bad experience here and would HIGHLY recommend anyone who hasn't been here to stop by. It would make a great lunch date or even a good dinner date for the more comfortable couples.

I was a fan even before they updated it, but now... I like it even more! Such a good feeling walking through those glass doors and seeing the fresh drinks, healthy sandwiches and yummyyyy gelato. Outdoor space feels like you are having a fun picnic with your family and friends. More parking spaces too. read more

Waiting an hour for an overpriced sandwich is unacceptable. Blame covid all you want, but you've had months to figure this out. 9/25 Hiltop location, get your act together. read more

Fabulous place to grab lunch! Sandwiches were fresh and high quality ingredients! Very friendly and clean - highly recommend

I absolutely love this place!! I can't wait to come back again.. and again!! The number 1 reason why I love this place is because it's dog-friendly! My boyfriend and I would love to take our dog to more places, but we haven't found many places we could take him! They have a decent size outdoor seating (shaded)! Also, dogs are allowed in the store! Another reason why we love this place is the food! Although it may be a little pricey (about $10 for a sandwich), it is very good. I ordered the Freemason and my boyfriend ordered the Pork belly sandwich, and we loved it both. We also got the soup of the day (tomato basil with orza) and that was really good as well. Along with sandwiches, they also have beer and wine! My boyfriend got the pineapple beer which was so good! We also got chips and a pickle! The last reason we absolutely love this place is the gelato! We got the salted caramel gelato, and it was to die for! I had to stop myself from buying more! There's also a small produce shop outside! Going to check that out next time! Safe to say we are definitely going to come back soon! read more

Wow, has this place gone downhill or what? While it is still beautiful, the sanitation is horrid. Flies landing and shitting on the bread above the assembly line and food service workers whose baseball caps that can't contain the messy buns of hair with no hair net in sight make my stomach churn. After waiting 15 minutes for two sandwiches (all the while contemplating what "extras" might be going into them), I am told that only one sandwich was made because they were out of country white bread for the other. Why it took them 15 mins to tell me that is beyond me. Needless to say, I just walked away from the whole order. read more

Absolutely outstanding healthily option in the Hampton Roads VA area. I ordered the steak salad and thought it was delicious. Service was a bit slow but that was only due to the lunch time crowd. They have vegan and gluten free options as-well. Would definitely go back when I visit Norfolk. read more

This place is awesome. I'm not from VA, but I have occasion to visit about once per month. I always come eat here. For lack of a better description, it's a sandwich shop/Deli - think Whole Foods meets Subway. But that doesn't do it justice. They make everything on site - they roast the beef, they bake the bread (several varieties - I recommend the "Rustic Baguette" etc. They have daily specials & one they call "Peter's Pick" - which comes with small bag of chips & a drink for about $9. It has yet to disappoint. There's also a fairly wide variety of mostly locally sourced food items to take home - everything from craft beer to crab dip. They don't really need it, but they have a nice loyalty program. Every so often you get a free sandwich or dessert. Its always busy, but service is very fast and also very friendly. You can eat there (decent amount of seating inside/upstairs) and if it's nice, you can eat outside on picnic tables. They also feature local artist's work on the wall (available for purchase if you see something that suites you!). Really just a local jewel. Well done Taste! (oh yeah, they have a couple of other locations - check their website) read more

It's bougie but the food is good. The new place is an upgrade from the little storage shed in which they used to operate. I took off two stars because the hours were a little odd and it's a little confusing on ordering food. (You pay once you get your food) read more

I'm new to the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area. Only here for two weeks to complete my Navy training. Heard about this place a few times and had to give it a shot. LOVE THIS PLACE. The workers are so sweet and friendly and are absolutely the best. I made my own sandwich and it was delicious! Multigrain bread with portobello mushrooms, fresh mozzarella, cheddar cheese, avocado, mayo, and balsamic. It was AMAZING. I'm a vegetarian so I love it when restaurants think about my people and have a special veggie section in their menu. Thank you. You all are amazing and rock!! read more

I'm here at least once a month year-round, weekly in the summer when the Sugar Babies farm stand is open. Excellent service, food is great. ***Tip for newbies to Taste: the sandwiches are not piled high with condiments unless you ask for them. This is not a deli. They are exactly as written, and it's all about the House Dressing. Try one of the weekly or monthly specials. Be prepared for long lines at lunch time in the summer, but they move really fast! I love coming here for interesting foodie and hostess gifts. I always see something new and interesting to try. Check out the specials on select wine bottles, don't forget to bring your growler to fill up with local beers on tap, and enjoy live music on Fridays in the summer! Taste is a great asset in our community, and always looking to improve what they do. read more

I stumbled upon this gem totally by accident on my way to the airport!!! Great find! It's a cute little place with a big tree and picnic tables out front to eat on. The sandwiches are gourmet and there were so many I wanted to try! I ended up getting a shaved ham, cheese, and peach chutney sandwich on a croissant! OMG YUM! Too bad I live 3000 miles away or else I'd be a regular. Check it out! read more

Their food is always great! Fresh and delicious. Can be considered a bit pricy and you may have to wait but you get what you pay for, right? This isn't a run in and run out sub joint. High quality ingredients. read more

Well done! I'm a short time this became my goto Cobb salad place. The food quality is outstanding and so fresh. The atmosphere is open and inviting and completely in rushed. I like how you can just order your food Panera style then just go sit down inside or out. Well done and great food read more

An absolute chore to place an order ahead of time. Their website says you can order online but anytime you try, it gives a message saying they're not taking orders at this time. This is added to the fact that you can't call in an order from 11-1. Your other option is to go order in person and wait 35 minutes for a sandwich read more

There are many restaurants I'd be happy to support during the Covid times... this is not one of them. While other eateries hustle to make sales and accommodate customers, Bayville Taste has poor hours, limited menu, apathetic customer service and obscene prices for mediocre food. They should just close and let another restaurant who actually wants to stay open come in this location. Sad because this is the only sandwich place in the neighborhood. But waiting 40 minutes for a sandwich is RIDICULOUS. read more

Unique great lunch experience. Tons of creative sandwiches and salads. Novelty healthy quick lunch. Loved the sandwich of the day with Roast Beef. Amazing salads filled with fresh veggies and avocado. Friendly service willing to let you have a taste of everything. A fun store area to walk through after your meal with all different dips, sauces, cheeses and wine. read more

I've loved Taste for years! Love their sandwiches and side dishes, particularly their potato salad. It's all a little pricey, but you get great quality food. LOVE their shop at Christmas and many of their holiday items. Only 2 small complaints: With the recent car service, I was double charged for an item and didn't notice until I got home. Decided rather than complain, it would be my contribution during this tough time. And lastly, whoever answers their phone for ordering (a male person) is quite rude on the phone. Very short, very abrupt and not very helpful with questions. Just my 2 cents. Otherwise very much enjoy! read more

I order a salad for takeout because this was the only available option once arriving. The soonest the online order would be ready was 60-70 minutes. After leaving and returning after an hour, we waiting another 10-20 minutes for our food (that was siting outside in the heat on a table the whole time). My salad was very soggy and slightly warm. The only dressing options were oil and vinegar because they had ran out of all others. Just not worth the wait and price. I appreciate their hard work during covid keeping everyone safe! read more

This place is amazing!! I have never been disappointed with the service, the selection of items they sell (from selective beers and wines to selective chips and dips!), or the food they make. My all time favorite is their Grilled Chicken Salad Sandwich on their french baguette bread. Absolutely amazing. Their bread is always cooked perfectly. Also, I love when they have the farmers market outside because the produce is always fresh and delicious. I don't live in Virginia Beach anymore, but anytime I come home to visit family, it's always a place on my list to go to and check off before heading back to Hawaii. read more

I've been eating here for over 20 years. Loved the sandwiches and salads. Just can't wait over a hour to eat lunch when I've pre-ordered through their app. Hire more peolpe, get your stuff together. Make online orders a priority. Not going eat here again, so sad. read more

Perfect place for a quick lunch Moh to eat in or to take to the beach! We came here after a day at the beach for sandwiches. The restaurant is an old barn turned into a building with a huge outdoor area and they even have their own farmers market produce stand outside. The inside has a shop, too where they sell their own food products. I ordered the build your own sandwich with turkey and avocado. It was very good! My boyfriend got the club sandwich which he enjoyed. It's a little pricey for sandwiches but you can tell the ingredients are fresh. They have tons of options and you won't be disappointed by the selection. Definitely check it out, they have lots of locations in the Norfolk/VA beach area! read more

Most people know TASTE is pricey, but their Impossible Meatball sub was a joke. I spent 15$ on 4 meatballs on a roll, very disappointing.
