Delicious rolled ice cream, huge lemonade with flowers. The portion sizes are VERY large. The owners are very friendly. They are also a Wish pickup location that resells anything that no one ever picks up, so I got some earrings!

This place is awesome! I took my kids there for the first time the other day and we all loved it. The menu is mind boggling with so many choices. We had the rolled ice cream and boba teas. Everything was so good and huge portions even with the kid size. We can’t wait to go back!

Great little spot wish i would have taken more pictures, defiantly will go back and take more pictures, everyone was so nice and the variety of stuff they have is crazy! There is something for everyone!My family and i went.

It was okay, my husband said his rolled Carmel apple ice cream was good. I had the carmel frappa. My daughter didnt like her lime rolled ice cream, it did not taste like lime.

This is our new go to place. From rolled ice cream to the fine hand shaved ice... there is every flavor imaginable.Burgers and other items are available as well. We have had some truly blessed conversations here with the employees and this just adds to the joy of our dining experience!!

Just moved to town and we were looking for an ice cream shop to indulge our sweet tooth. We found Taste Buds and decided to give it a try! Best decision. Walked in..met owner who was super friendly. We were greeted so politely by two girls working. They were so helpful describing what they do and what flavor combinations they offer. They even made my husbands special request with a cupcake. Definitely going back. Great ice cream, service and atmosphere!

Great desserts, food items a disappointment! We have thoroughly enjoyed the confections at Taste Buds; however, we ordered hot dogs and a rueben with fries for the first time. The hot dog buns were hard as a rock, the rueben had very little beef, and fries were dark and greasy and smelled like old oil. This certainly may have been an isolated issue, but we doubt we will ever order from their food menu again.

My husband and I have started going for a brunch date every Sunday. Weve tried quite a bit on the menu!The biscuits and gravy are amazing, and the cheeseburgers are really good. Handmade patties, hand-cut fries, it doesnt get much better than that.The rolled ice cream is also good! The peanut butter is my favorite right now.They also had / have a gummy bar, which is super unique and Ive never seen anywhere else. I got to taste test a few once, and it was really good stuff!This massive treat though, is the Halo Halo.I picked ube ice cream as the base, and it had fresh bananas, fresh kiwis, and I forget what else in it. There were jars of different toppings you get to pick from, and I went all out. It was absolutely delicious! So many flavors and textures. I meant eat most of it in one go, and save the rest in a to-go cup.This place is definitely a gem, and I recommend!

Walked in with my frenchie who helps with my mental disability and was screamed at asking if my dog is a support animal? Yes, for my mental illness. Sorry she doesnt have papers but she does calm me down, for instances like being screamed at in public. Its definitely a distressing trigger. I do understand that you serve food, but we were trying to support local since we dont ever see anyone there to begin with, like what food are you serving??? Way to scare your customers away. If you would have asked nicely we could have easily walked her outside after grabbing a menu. Wont be back.

We moved here at the first of the year. Had all the chains where we came from and theyre all ok. We wanted a local place because we wanted better than ok. Taste buds is it! Great hand made burgers (try the olive burger you wont regret it!) Perfect REAL fries that make you want more. Han a burger combo and ordered an extra order of fries. They are that good. You could have a shake flavor a day and die of old age before you got through the list. May have to wait a bit their always a little understaffed. They want quality people I guess and thats hard to find. Want a shiracha shake bet they would make you one. Best place in town.

This place is amazing! It has an amazing variety of treats, and youll never be bored. Ive only recently found it but I get something new each time and its always amazing. Plus they have Boba Tea and Thai Rolled Ice Cream! You shouldnt definitely pop in and visit. Plus all the staff here are nice and personable.

Amazing, I loved the boba tea. My younger siblings had popping boba so they don’t choke on the pearls, the coffee flavored ice cream was good too

Review №15

Best desert place around! This place has everything. Their boba was very good. I thought maybe the boba tea only came in a few flavors but no! All the flavors on the menu listed you can have in your boba tea! The owner and server were both very kind. Best burger I’ve ever had and the onion rings were great too. Very good boba too. They had all kinds of cool candies and stuff near checkout too. 10/10 recommend and will go back.

We are on vacation and were craving some ice cream and looked up the closest place to get some and we found Taste Buds. First off, this place is an absolute catfish. We saw these amazing pictures of ice cream in bubble cones and that was not what we got. I ordered the red velvet cake ice cream and got back red hot’s flavored ice cream. No excuses for this mistake, why would you even make a red hot’s ice cream flavor in the first place. There was no option for scoops of ice cream offered to us it was only rolled ice cream that didn’t even fit into our cones and fell right off so we had to get it in cups.

Review №17

Took 10-15 minutes to get my order taken. When receiving my snow cone, there was barely any ice in the cup and more liquid. Paid money for something that should have been filled up all the way instead of halfway. Also, there was a bug in my snow cone as well. This place used to be good and clean and now I dont want to step foot in there.

We were greeted by a smiling, helpful staff with wonderful suggestions. We made our selections and was able to watch them create our sweet treats! We loved watching them mix in our flavors and roll our ice cream. It was so delicious! Definitely going back.

Amazing atmosphere!!!!! I loved the astetic when I walked through the door!!!!! I had a boba milk Thai tea and it was amazing!!!! I dont know why everyone is saying that the bubble tea was bad. My three cousins and my mom all had milkshakes and they were all very good! 10/10 would recommend!!!!!

My wife and I visited for the first time, today. We absolutely loved our ice cream. We had no idea there were so many different menu options, and not just with the ice cream. We cant wait to try some of the food options. We found this place by accident; more people need to know about this place. Its fantastic!

Review №27

The employees are very nice but I do feel bad for them. Despite the large menu, They were out of almost everything, The menu is organized very weirdly as well. The restaurant was dirty with scattered trash and the floors do not look clean. I didnt have a good time but I dont blame anyone who works there for it.

Review №34

Tamales were pretty decent and very reasonably priced. Plenty of casual atmosphere seating... definitely not pretentious. Sandwiches were good, but pricey. Salad lettuce was browning (on par with the rest of the lettuce in Bristol). Staff was attentive, very polite and friendly. Service was slow, but there was a line when we went in, and we had 5 people order a sit down dinner. Probably best for call ahead pick up lunch orders or ice cream.

Review №43

Skylar is incorrect, it deserves 2 stars. The staff seemed nice, but the atmosphere and boba justifies the low rating.

An
Review №44

The atmosphere is nice and the place looks cute, and ice cream was pretty okay. However, the bubble tea was the main reason we had came in and the boba was very undercooked and would not come up through the straw at all, and the regular milk tea was awful and tasted absolutely nothing like milk tea. The green milk tea was good though, but again the boba ruined it entirely because you couldn’t get a drink as the boba itself blocked the straw and wouldn’t come through as it was slightly hard where it hadn’t been fully cooked.

Review №46

Service A+.. The lady working behind the counter was working very hard and was very helpful. Ice cream seems to be low grade (cheap ice cream).. and was overpriced in my OPINION... could have bought a pint for what I payed for 4oz.. Rolled ice cream is cool though..no pun intended.

My strawberry cheesecake shake was amazing, but I waited 15 minutes for a milkshake and there was only 1 person ahead of me and my family. My family waited over 20 more minutes after I had gotten my shake for theirs and other people got theirs before they got theirs, and they came in afterwards

Review №50

Amazing!! The workers are so nice and the food is great. Especially their rolled ice creams, with a huge variety of flavors that everyone would be able to find something they like. I came for their boba, because theres no other place that has it in bristol. And I was so pleasantly surprised! (if you are someone who likes their boba chewy, you will love theirs. I sure did)! I will for sure visit again as soon as Im back in bristol.

As soon as I walked in the staff welcomed us! Told me about the different flavors was so sociable! The place was nice and clean and the food was wonderful! The boba my granddaughter had was awesome! Our ice creams were just amazing! Whoever gave this place a bad review needs to look at himself how wrong he was!

Review №52

Ive been there twice now within the past couple of weeks, I was looking for a place to try Boba because as far as I know Bristol doesnt have anywhere that makes it, but I cannot reccomend this place enough! Theyre always so nice when Ive been there, its got a cute like Aesthetic. If you havent checked them out yet, I reccomend it. I also met I believe he was one of the owners on Saturday and he could not have been more friendly and welcoming. Ill probably be heading there after work today as well.

Me and my mother went to try the bubble tea here, unfortunately they were out of bubble tea. But we did get some ice cream, I got the Care Bear, and my mother got the Caramel Macchiato. We really liked it, and came in and said We really enjoyed it, 5 ☆☆☆☆☆ (stars). My mother left a review like mine, and the name should be Amber Watson. Next dessert is definitely here!

The service and quality here was atrocious. We waited forever and were overcharged for our ice cream. My waffle cone was also unpleasantly burnt, almost charred. The owner wasnt wearing a mask despite the mask mandate. Everything tasted artificial. I wish we had not wasted our money here. :( :( :(

Very unorganized. Seemed haphazardly thrown together as a business. They need a serious shut down and deep cleaning of everything. The food looked great and taistsed ok not the best for cost. I was told my total was going to be 15$ and then because i used a card it charged me basiclly a dollar more. Very unprofessional in that regard. The employees are ok.

Good rolled ice cream. Would be much better if they used real ingredients instead of syrups to flavor the ice cream. As a result you end up with vanilla with a touch of your selected flavor.

So heard about this place, this morning on 92.9 Super Talk w/Christy Slaughter show. And being the ice cream lover that I am. I looked them up online immediately !!! WOW what a vast assortment of ice cream flavors on the menu !!! So that did it for me, I was off to see and taste for myself first hand. As I walk in, my nose was filled with the smell of chocolaty goodness and sweet homemade per order waffle cones not premade waiting to be filled. So after the awesome Mom and daughter team running the place answered all my questions and helped me decide on a flavor. I was diving into a fresh made waffle cone packed with chocolate and peanut butter Thia rolled ice cream. Absolutely Heavenly ! Is the only way to describe it. Dont let the small location fool you, this place is like a secret room in Willie Wonkas chocolate factory. And these girls know ice cream, like Santa knows toys !!! So thank you ladies for an awesome experience. I will be back 🍦🍨🍧
