After much
debate regarding which place to explore next, we decided maybe it’s time we
satisfy our sweet tooth. From the various patisseries available, the name that
instantly clicked in our heads was “Tastebud”.
Situated in Banani road 12, it
occupies a pretty decent and busy location in Dhaka City.
Now we all know that
there is no dearth of cafes in Dhaka, and every few months a new one seems to
open up. While most of them successfully sell their image with their excessive
flashiness, they forget to pay attention to what really matters - the quality
of the food .Thankfully, Tastebud maintains their quality with the right amount
of splendor. Though most of its clientele include university students, and
office workers, its warm welcoming lights and eye-catching interior makes it a
very preferable spot for the couples who are looking for some cozy time.

Banoffee pie, Chocolate paradise Slice and Red Velvet Slic |
Now for those of you
who are wondering what a Banoffee pie is, it’s a pie or tart made with toffee,
bananas and cream. Well the pie was splendid with its rich banana flavor and
scrumptious toffee essence and by the time we were done ravaging it, it just
left us begging for more.

Chocolate Paradise Slice |
The chocolate cake paradise was good too but it was
the same old chocolate cake pumped with cocoa, it actually felt like there was a
bit too much cocoa in it. Nonetheless, it was delicious.
According to the
people at TasteBud, their best dessert is the Red Velvet Cake and the chef
indeed does justice to this trendy yet classic dessert.

Red Velvet Slice |
The red velvet cake had
the perfect balance of cream cheese and buttermilk flavor, and was worth every
bite. Overall, we were quite satisfied with desserts and their price seemed
reasonable. However, one thing that left us disappointed was the excessive
service charge.
Then came our post meal ritual: the little chitchat that we have with some
other fellow customers. This time the “lucky” ones were Shahzeb and Munazza.

Shahzeb and Munazza |
Shahzeb
had ordered the Tiramisu slice, and being a regular foodie at Tastebud, he complained
that the quality of the food had deteriorated over the past few months. Munazza
had ordered the brownie with ice cream, but did not like the fact that her ice
cream was served on top of her brownies, according to her one does not simply
serve hot brownies with cold ice cream! That’s right! The ice cream melted
before she could even start. So for the people who plan on ordering brownie
with ice cream, I suggest you eat up quickly before the ice cream melts. They
did not seem very overwhelmed with the drinks they had ordered; the watermelon
juice was just an unexciting mixture of soda and syrup.
All in all, if your taste buds are craving for a sweet delight or you are looking to take your special someone, friend or coworker to some place they will enjoy and have a good time Tastebud is the place to be. Its cozy ambience bundled with the soft music and friendly staff makes it a place worth checking out. Be sure to pay them a visit!
