Taste Buds in Leixlip

Our go to for breakfast in the Lucan area.Always great.

I got here every now and again and its always great. The staff are lovely and the food is very reasonably priced. Good coffee too. I e of my favourite places to eat in Lucan.

I attended taste buds for a Sunday breakfast where I order “Magas” that came out burnt, dry and the poached eggs were overdone. My partner ordered an Irish breakfast with plenty of beans and got a butter filled cup of beans and when requested for additional, they did not arrive to the table until the meal was finished. During this time I asked for a Coke Zero that was also not given till near the end of the meal. When I brought this to the attention of a senior staff member his reply was simple and rude “if you do not like it you don’t have to eat it!” I was shocked at the treatment I received when I approached the staff member in a calm and approachable manner, but this was not returned. I have eaten in taste buds before it was not our first visit but it will certainly be the last!!!!

Nice cosy place for breakfast but where we sat I felt like I was in a smoking area so wasnt great. Pancakes arent good and they are served with rashers not streaky bacon as you would expect with pancakes. The Light Breakfast is nice.

It will great if you can update your closing time to 4.The lady on Thursday evening at 4 refused a table

Good food, very friendly, and reasonable price.

If you are not known to them, you might be waiting in the queue for a long time, while their known ones get served from the back of the queue.

Great place for breakfast, staff are very nice, food delicious

Excellent food service staff professiinal and friendly. Place lovely clean and comfortable

Terrible food, potatoes undercooked, chorizo burnt, mushrooms flavourless, bread was rock hard. Completely over priced. No idea how people eat here. Also, asked for eggs well done and they came out soft. Do not recommend.

Had a fantastic club sandwich here with nice cuppa. Friendly staff and quick service. Was there about 3pm. Consistently great food and service

it my 1st visit. it was ok as my breakfast , scramble egg bit watering, toast nice but hard to eat. think it should be toasted if meal ready go not sitting around.

Tried Falafel Salad, it was super delicious. The staff was friendly. Got my order served 15 minutes after I ordered. The portion was great for a hungry person.I’m definitely trying more dishes in the future.

Good friendly staff that catered well for our strict vegetarian needs. Nice breakfast and reasonably priced. Will definitely return soon.

Excellent service and food from the friendly staff.Just dont be caught parking outside in the "LOADING BAY" to pick up a coffee, as the local traffic wardens goes by the book.

Can’t get enough of Taste Buds. Food is excellent and great value for money. Really great veggie options too. Coffee and desserts are delish. Highly recommend. Staff are always so lovely and accommodating especially during busy times.

Fantastic breakfast, good value, great coffee, lovely staff.

My favourite spot in All of Lucan ,what a great team always smiling and helpful ,food is fantastic . Bacon sub is my fave and chips are to die for. Moving house and they looked after me all week wether alone or with guests 😁Thanks guys ,special place ,adios amigos ,see you when I visit Dublin in the future!! 5 stars 🌟

Nice village cafe..fast service..staff friendly and a reasonable menu for breakfast and lunch..will visit again

I originally ordered the chicken Thai green curry. I was served nothing resembling a Thai curry. It was some sliced chicken(no vegetableswith some green curry paste mixed in a cup of hot water and poured on to the plate accompanied with basmatti rice and stale poppadom. I dont expect dedicated thai restaurant quality from this café but what I got served was unacceptable.Luckily they were still serving the breakfast menu so I ordered a breakfast bap. It was nice. Nothing else to. Comment on thisThe waiting staff were lovely, and diligent.Note to owner: dont put something on the menu which you cant do to an acceptable level.3 stars for breakfast bap and lovely staff, would be one star rating if not for the breakfast bap

Really tasty breakfast, friendly staff, good service

Busy restaurant, hardly an empty table when we were there, always a good sign of a cafe, service was quick, food was plentiful & tasty, well worth a visit

Food was amazing. Service was excellent especially since they were out the door. Seemed like the only cafe open in Lucan on a Bank holiday Monday. Great value for what you get too

Food was tasteless! Service was fast, was like they thrown the food together. Pancakes were disgusting, my son wouldnt touch them even with Nutella, they tasted like cardboard.

Lovely pancakes and maple syrup for breakfast here. Very small outdoor seating area but the staff are lovely and the food is good. Plenty of seating inside which is very clean.

Super friendly staff. The food was great & very filling. Nice iced coffees

lovely place for breakfast, very tasty coffee, friendly staff. book in advance because its very busy, particularly on Sundays. good selection of breakfasts and great value.

Best breakfast this side of the Mississippi. Arguably the best Ive ever had out and at €9 you couldnt go wrong.Spotless and extremely welcoming staff. Highly recommended 👌 👍 👏

Great food great portions. Soup was gluten free and tasted great. Very good coffee and all at very reasonable price.

Excellent, Sunday before 10 am is a must. Later need booking, so busy as is delicious. Cozy, cool mirrors around, delicious benedict eggs with hollandaise sauce, and amazing cappuccino. Dont even think twice, just go there!!!

Great quality food. Super friendly staff. Always busy which speaks volumes

The staff here are amazing! Very friendly and fast service. Aoife in particular, is a gem.The food is mediocre. The poached eggs looked and tasted like they were made in bulk earlier that day. They weren’t hot or fresh, the pudding was so cheap looking and stodgy, it said Clonaklilty it wasn’t. The toast wasn’t toasted.

Family friendly, staff helpful, even though very busy, breakfast good quality and great value. Will definitely be back. 😚

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

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 its always our go to place for the Sunday brunch.

Fantastic menu with wide variety of options. Very reasonably priced. Really clean and very friendly staff. Lovely happy atmosphere too. Would highly recommend to anyone

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.

Great Staff and great Food and Great Coffee. What more do you want

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!

Customers whether first time or a regular is always greeted with a warm and welcoming smile. Food is second to none. Staff are very friendly and welcome, and great for the little chats whilst getting the job done to a high standard. Highly recommend

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 ❤❤❤

Changed the soft white pudding in the breakfast bap to this monster! Baps were stale and sausages were reheated. Used to be a 5 star breakfast bap and would buy 4 a month over the lockdowns, theyve compromised their quality and standard, wont be back!

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. Ive never had a dull or bad experience in this wonderful restaurant, nor will I ever with professional and friendly staff in Taste Buds

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.

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 Id go back again. Big pot of tea was nice. Service was very pleasant.

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. Its 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.

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

Nice staff and location - food was ok but some room for improvement. Had breakfast bap and the bread didnt taste fresh and meat wasnt the best quality. Eggs and mushroom special was very tasty but a bit dry.

Spanish omelette nothing mind blowing but certainly wasnt disgusting nice all spot for a cuppa n a snack

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 theyre only open four months, everything seems to be running seamlessly
