Went there with friends one evening to check out the new location. Coffee was good but service was lacking, friendly but with little emotional or interest. The latte was fresh and hot, ordered a lemon square which wasn't so great. I dislike baked good wrapped in saran wrap - it tends to take on the taste of the plastic. The... More

Actually, I liked the location, because the Buzz was in a spot where there were no other decent coffee shops around. Unfortunately they are in the process of moving to a new location so I don't know how that's going to work for them. I'm not a coffee freak but I do like a good strong hot cup of java... More

This is a nice privately owned coffee house. You can tell they care about the experience of enjoying a cup of coffee with friends. The atmosphere is warm and friendly - comfortable seating, large and roomy. The staff there is so friendly and the food is great.

Most people have coffee machines at home. So, it goes without saying that when people go to a coffee shop, they're looking for great atmosphere in addition to a great cup of coffee. This is where the Buzz scores big. Buzz serves coffee, tea, and pastries in a homey, west-coast lodge-style atmosphere, with hardwood flooring, a huge stone fireplace, and... More

The first day we went was near closing and the woman who made my mocha created a masterpiece (I am not known to give false praise). It was beautiful, but more than that, it blended coffee and the chocolate perfectly. Before we left town, we went back and the mocha, which was made by a very nice young man, was... More

The Buzz is a nice and trendy coffee shop in a convenient location, but has very few seats for its size. Atmosphere is warm and their community table is a great idea. Overall, good but not exceptional place that tends to attract a lot of regulars.

Standard bevy of coffee treats with more cosy atmosphere. More inviting than the big chains. Nice light lunch and great baked goods
