Every time I go into Taste Budd’s it’s feels like a micro-retreat from the circus of life. The staff are always chill and friendly, the ambience is delightful and cozy, and the food and confections are so comforting and delicious. Love the whimsical and cheeky names of some of the desserts, and so glad they provide a space for open mics!

What a gem this place is! When walking up to the shop, I was captivated by the beautiful garden, trellis, and patio. The interior is spacious with a guitar theme on one wall and local eclectic art everywhere else. There are so many treats to choose from- New York cheesecake, macaroons, muffins, cookies, scones, fudge. All looks professionally made and delicious. I went with the magic cookie bar and it did not disappoint! I’m from Colorado and always visit this coffee shop when visiting family in upstate New York. It’s quaint, friendly, make you feel right at home.

Had to do some work there on my laptop- enough tables and people there respectful and not noisy and no annoying music. Food was spectacular. I felt very comfortable there.

As someone that works virtually I enjoy visiting different cafes and coffee shops around the country. This little privately owned cafe in the small quaint village of Redhook New York has become a second home. The atmosphere is comfy and inviting, the staff friendly and courteous. The coffee is free trade and the treats...well, you’ll have to find out for yourself. My Personal favorite is the vegan nut bar, It almost sounds healthy even though it taste anything but. And if you are someone who works virtually I encourage you to stop and have a coffee and grab a table and stay a while 5 stars only because that’s the highest I can go on here

My husband and I have been coming here for 14 years. He First pick this place because I love coffee and fudge. But we come at least three times a year and the sandwiches and wraps are amazing. They’re fresh fruit. Coffee is amazing and all of their sweets are.
