🏆 WE WON VENDOR OF THE YEAR! 🏆

We are beyond excited, humbled, and honored to announce that Taste Budds Cafe has been named Vendor of the Year at the Dutchess County Fair!

Taste Budds Cafe, a family-owned small business, has been working on the Dutchess County Fairgrounds since 2001, when Dan and Julie Budd baked cookies and served coffee from a small tent at the Antique Fair. ☕🍪

25 years later, Taste Budds has grown from that little tent into a team that has had the incredible privilege of serving thousands of fairgoers over the years.

This award means so much to us because it represents 25 years of hard work, dedication, early mornings, long days, teamwork, and a commitment to excellence. Most importantly, it represents the amazing people who make Taste Budds what it is. ❤️

To our incredible team — thank you for everything you do. To our customers and the Dutchess County Fair community — thank you for continuing to support our family-owned small business year after year.

We are truly humbled and honored to receive this award. 🥹🏆

Here’s to 25 years of cookies, coffee, community, and countless memories at the fair — and hopefully many more to come!

THANK YOU, DUTCHESS COUNTY FAIR! 🎡❤️

With gratitude,
The Budd Family & The Taste Budds Cafe Team ☕

This is a rare opportunity, but we will be interviewing for an assistant cafe manager position. If you want to learn about small business, in one that has been going for 27 years this is a great chance. If you know someone who is a good communicator, eager to learn and loves the idea of working in a community cafe, where the staff know many of the customers by name (even their orders too!) this is a great chance. Food and Beverage experience is a bonus, but not necessary for the right person. This is full time 35-40 hours. Apply here. We look forward to meet you!
