taste bud eatery

i'd say one of the best breakfast/lunch places in stellenbosch for very reasonable prices. i recommend the moroccan wrap, beef burger (i'd say the best burger i've had in a long time) and the fresh red ice tea. thefoodis spectacular. the place is owned by a chef with some french blood lineage, michelle; she has blessed her place with some spectacular dishes that will make your mouth water. no worse than any upper class restaurants in cape town, will always recommend it. very cute, very simple styling and the atmosphere is very relaxed and homie. hope you enjoy it as much as i did.

one of my favourite places to go for breakfast, lunch or a sneaky sweet treat. tastebud has such a wonderful setting and the prices aren't too bad either, especially considering the quality of their food. i have never had a bad experience with theirfoodor their service.

this place is definitely a little stellenbosch gem which everyone should give a try.

a lovely setting for brunch - under the oaks, to relax, enjoy goodfoodand watch passers by. great menu, with lots of options. opted for the eggs onassis and it was superb - and a good size portion and good price. the cappuccino was also really full of flavour and well made.

also good friendly service! would definitely try again.

taste bud is a great place for a quick lunch. their harvest table served from noon is great and offers a wide variety of warmfoodand salads. they also have a very well priced menu.

i went back yesterday with a friend and we had the butternut and feta sandwich which we ordered once before. however this time there was about 5 pieces of butternut along with one piece of feta on our sandwiches!! even though it was only r37 it is most definitely not worth more than about r10 max for the little filling we got!

i've had several horrible experiences with this restaurant. they are overpriced and the service is slow and rude. the prices on their menu differs from what you are charged. i've also partook in their weigh-and-pay lunch buffet where i get charged almost double what my friends are charged for pretty much the same amount of food. suspiciously, our plates were different sizes. i do not trust this restaurant and even though theirfoodis good, i would not make the mistake of going back.

this is a wonderful little restaurant for breakfast and lunch, but i would recommend their lunch buffet specifically because thefoodis always fresh and there is always a selection of salads and vegetables to accompany the dishes of that particular day. service is efficient and very friendly and if you want a quick lunch without delay, then the buffet is a great option. i recently had lunch here and ate the chicken pie which was so creamy and delicious and complimented that with some fresh green veggies. the buffet can get a bit expensive because thefoodis weighed in order to determine the price, so a large plate offoodis costly. thefoodis, however, delicious and this place is great for a quick lunch or leisurely coffee and cake with friends, as they also offer a range of scrumptious treats.

really enjoyed my sandwich here! had a butternut, feta and avo sandwich which was delicious. my friend got the cheesecake which she also really enjoyed. thefoodis pretty reasonably priced and the buffet also looks delicious

i had a one hour gap between two lectures and decided to go for breakfast with my mate. tastebud is literally a 3 minute walk from campus so it seemed convenient and quick. i've learnt quickly that stellenbosch functions on african time and this has become clear on the visits i have made to numerous cafés in town. tastebud was no different. it was relatively quiet for once so we didn't have to wait for a table which was a nice change. i've been to tastebud before where it's been absolutely packed. i've tried the harvest table and also ordered lunch from the menu. i haven't been disappointed with thefoodso far!

on friday, we were immediately approached and asked what we wanted to drink. their cappuccinos are good which for me is a big achievement. but unfortunately the cup was not big enough to last me the amount of time it took our breakfast to arrive. we waited over 20 minutes and it wasn't even full and on any other day i wouldn't have been too fussed but we had a lecture to get to.

mine came first, but they had made a mistake with my order and it had to be sent back. after another 5 minutes, the two meals we actually ordered came through. i must say it was all beautifully presented and smelt delicious. i had just enough time to snap a photo before we dug in! i had the vineyard breakfast which included two perfectly fluffy scrambled eggs, juicy mushrooms, plump roasted baby tomatoes and potato and corn fritters. all this an a slice of seeded toast. i wish i had more time to savour it and eat it slower than i did but i would really love to go back and have it again when i can do just that!! despite the mix up with my order and the slow service, thefoodis really good, the staff are friendly and the whole environment feels laid-back and welcoming. my advise: treat your tastebuds and given them a visit!

went into stellenbosch with a few friends for a quick celebratory lunch between classes, and was truely taken aback by the quality and variety! i was incredibly impressed with the service,foodand atmosphere! we had the karoo cappuccinos and i had the open style danish ciabata with onion marmalade, bacon, avo, humus, feta and honey glazed butternut! was to die for! the best combination of flavours out there! thank you for a spectacular meal. we can't wait to come back and indulge once more!

best place to go for a hearty home made harvest buffett table meal... dish up yourfoodand weigh and pay off the menu , or order something off the menu. also have delicious treats especially the cheesecake. nice to sit outside on the stellenbosch streets surrounded by oak trees. service needs some work especially for customers that dish up from the buffet table. definitely one of my go to lunch spots
