Tastebud

Kck catered our wedding, and they did such an amazing job! The food was fresh and delicious, and they provided great vegetarian and gluten-free options for our guests as well.
Kyle was always quick to respond to our emails, and he and his team took care of everything on the day.

This is way over due, but tastebud catered my wedding in the beginning of September and we couldn’t have been more happy with the food and service.
Their flat bread was creative and delicious, mixing different herbs and seasonal veggies and fruits.
The main course of salmon or steak and an array of cooked veggies and a delicious kale Caesar salad! The steak was probably the most tender, delicious steak I’ve ever had.
They made a whole pizza for us to go! There service was amazing, very friendly, professional and prompt.
Very grateful for the food and the great service they provided for our wedding!!

I've been sitting on this review for a few days now, because I feel conflicted about writing it. Tastebud has some of the best pizza in Portland, if not *the* best pizza.
Why the 4 star and why do I feel conflicted? I purchased bagels from Tastebud this last weekend, and I couldn't be more disappointed in them. 1.
I think the bagels are made from old pizza dough which should be fine, but I don't think they were fermented long enough; even after toasting, the consistency of the bagels are is quite dense 2.
I'd guess that when they boil them, the water doesn't have enough honey or molasses, leading to the bagels being uniformly soft, rather than having a nice outer "crust" 3.
An everything bagel only having poppy seeds and sesame seeds is surely a crime somewhere in the world; at the very least throw in some onion flakes, garlic flakes, and salt Will I go back for pizza? Yes, without question.
Will I go back for bagels? Absolutely not.
