I recently went in and talked to Mike, a supervisor at the Grove Avenue location, about how the store has been doing since opening in November 2018. Mike told me the store has been doing well and that one of the most popular sandwiches is the Northender. It has honey smoked turkey, hardwood-smoked bacon, havarti, avocado, romaine lettuce, tomato, and basil mayo on French bread. His personal favorite is the Lynnhaven, which has house-roasted chicken breast, sassy Southern pimento cheese, hardwood-smoked bacon, baby spinach, tomato, and basil mayo on Italian flatbread. I asked him if there are any secret off-menu items you can order. While there aren’t any specific ones, they do have all the ingredients to make a banh mi Vietnamese sandwich. Peter Coe opened TASTE UNLIMITED in 1973 as a wine and cheese shop in Virginia Beach. The shop was eventually passed down to the Pruden family, where it began to take the shape of the specialty food
If you are a lover of gourmet sandwiches, TASTE is your destination. Starting as a small local business, TASTE has spread its wings outside of Virginia Beach and landed right here in Richmond. Located on Grove near Libbie, TASTE serves a wide variety of sandwiches, salads, and soups, all of which are delicious, to cure your hunger. When I visited TASTE for the first time, I expected it to be just like any other sandwich shop, but that was far from the truth. The space creates a unique feeling with its custom furniture, some of which is made from repurposed materials, and artwork displayed around the shop. The menu is just as unique as the shop itself, with tons of different ingredients to choose from. TASTE has many options, including turkey and ham, chicken salad, pulled pork, and even vegan and vegetarian options. They offer pre-made sandwich items and favorites, as well. If none of those fit the bill, you’re able to build your own sandwich and choose every ingredient.
company it is today. TASTE prides itself on its fresh ingredients, sourcing many of them from local farmers here in Virginia, as well as on crafting many of their ingredients in-house. These ingredients lead to some seriously delicious sandwiches, making TASTE a must-try for all Richmonders.
