It Started with a Cup of Coffee
Taste began in 1991 when East Aurora icon Yvonne Evilsizor opened a small neighborhood coffee shop built around exceptional coffee, genuine hospitality, and bringing people together.
As more guests discovered Taste, the menu naturally grew. What began as a coffee shop evolved into a destination for breakfast, lunch, handcrafted beverages, desserts, and countless conversations with family and friends.
In the late 1990s, Taste moved just down the street into its current home—an addition to the historic Griggs & Ball Grain Mill. It was the perfect place to continue growing while remaining in the heart of East Aurora.
What began as one woman's dream to create a welcoming neighborhood coffee shop laid the foundation for everything Taste is today.
