About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Taste Buds and noticed something strange—a soft humming sound like bees, but coming from nowhere in particular. Curious, he parked his truck and approached the building, only to realize that the noise seemed to follow him wherever he went. As he followed the sound deeper into the building, he found himself standing in front of an old vending machine. With a startled yelp, he discovered it was playing classical music—Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony—at full blast! Turned out, someone had accidentally programmed the wrong song into the machine's playlist. A regular customer later joked, ‘Guess Taste Buds has its own secret DJ after all.’
2. At closing time, an employee locked up Taste Buds and walked out, only to hear someone shout from inside: ‘Hey! Don’t forget to turn off the neon sign!’ The employee rushed back in, flipped the switch—and nothing happened. The neon sign was already off. Turning around, he saw a grinning a regular waving goodbye from behind the counter. "I’ve got it on remote," he said. 'Welcome to Taste Buds, where even the neon knows when to go home!'
3. A curious neighbor parked their car near Taste Buds late one night and decided to investigate the strange glow coming from behind the closed doors. Curious as a cat, they peered through the window and saw only blinking lights and empty tables. Suddenly, a regular walked in, ordered a coffee, chatted with the robot bartender, and left whistling. The neighbor shrugged and went home, realizing that sometimes life is just as mysterious—and delightfully ordinary—as it seems.
4. At lunchtime, a regular entered Taste Buds and asked the cashier, ‘Do you ever run out of fuel?’ The cashier smiled and replied, 'Not usually, but if we do, we’ll put up a sign that says "Out of Fuel".' The regular nodded thoughtfully before ordering his usual coffee and sandwich. Later, as he left, he turned to the cashier with a twinkle in his eye and quipped, 'Better not run out when my neighbor comes in—she’s always late for her fuel fix!'
