Taste Buds
Feel good about eating good.
Taste Buds, a division of United Disability Services, is making lunch something to talk about with its box lunch catering services available to businesses and organizations throughout the Akron area.
A fresh and tasty box lunch catering menu features a variety of Taste Buds’ own delectable signature salads, mouth-watering sandwiches and specialty pizzas all individually packaged, professionally presented and ready to serve.
On a budget? Taste Buds can customize a box lunch menu to meet any need or budget, or ask about our Value Box Lunch.
Quality food services with a mission
Not all box lunches are created equal. As a Taste Buds customer, you’re not only getting food that’s good, but you’re supporting a cause you can feel good about. Your support of Taste Buds helps to provide employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
Individuals who work at Taste Buds learn a broad range of skills needed to work in the food service industry either in the community or in a supported work environment. With the support of experienced UDS staff members, individuals learn how to prepare and serve food, interact with customers and help others who have joined the program adjust to their new work environment.

Don’t just take our word for it!
“These boxed lunches beat out several other local spots we’ve ordered from—our clients rave about them. You can tell when someone ‘slaps together’ a sandwich just to get the order filled... well not you guys, you always take special care to be sure everything is in perfect place! You’ve got a good thing going.”
—Heidi Baker, Administrative Assistant, BCG Systems
“We use Taste Buds for all of our lunch meeting needs. Everything arrives exactly on time and exactly as ordered. We have had a variety of different groups eat the lunches, from locals to people all the way from Finland, and each one of them thought the food was delicious!”
—Annie Sabo, Office Administrator, Akron Global Business Accelerator
“It was a pleasure to work with Heidi Imhoff and her staff throughout the football season! She was willing to look at what our needs were and come up with a product that was satisfying and within our budget. There is no doubt in my mind or Coach Boarman’s that this was a win-win for St. Vincent-St. Mary football and Taste Buds.”
—Renee Conlon, Parent Booster, St. Vincent-St. Mary High School
“I find the food to be very tasty and fresh. The variety and presentation is just lovely... .”
—Heidi Roane, Alumni Coordinator, Leadership Akron
“We have clients and consultants in the office frequently and we often have lunch delivered during work sessions or meetings. Taste Buds is a really great service . . . they serve our needs perfectly and it’s nice to know that we’re supporting a worthwhile community organization.”
—Mark Ohlinger, President, Hasenstab Architects
