Washington PostDecember 17, 2014Head to this friendly neighborhood haunt for a hunk of the popular Mississippi mud or Key lime pies. Flavors, inspired by seasonal fruits or candy bars, rotate every couple months. Read more
Design*SpongeAugust 3, 2014This is an incredible wifi, coffe and baked goods combo. The sweets are fresh daily and the late hours make this a great place to get a cupcake fix after the movies or dinner. Read more- checkitoutMay 2, 2013The 9:30 Club cupcake is an event. Dark chocolate buttercream icing with a sweet cream filling in the center. It is the Hostess cupcake all grown up!
Reagan BarbosaSeptember 26, 2016I have been missing some of my favorite bakeries in New York, and this place will definitely fill the void. The red velvet cake is the best, most moist red velvet cake I've ever had. Cheesecake A+.
J Michael D @JMNDPortlandJanuary 22, 2013They occasionally have BOGOs after noon on breakfast items! And I love the fantastic black lady there. She makes my day!
Abraham KamarckSeptember 7, 2014Coexist Sundays!! Coexist Coffee is the espresso machine on Sundays and Coexist Cold Brew on sale every day of the week!! www.coexistcoffee.org
Jackie de HaanJuly 1, 2015coffee. also if you ask they will put liquor in your coffee. an expensive coffee but completely worth it.
Brian WellsDecember 14, 2015They recently changed the cupcakes. They used to all be visually different & quite unique. Now they are all similar and "normal". I miss the old flavors.
Only less than wonderful thing here is the lemon cake (was INCREDIBLY dense and too tart). Otherwise, 2 thumbs up on everything else. Quick, friendly service that can also get you out of a bind.- Great coffee, lattes, breakfast and of course cupcakes! Awesome place to do some work or sit and read!
Miles FawcettJuly 16, 2016Creative and great tasking cupcakes and baked items. Nice environment for coffee and desert.
You really need to try the paninis if you are hungry. Fresh and hearty. Also the hot teas are very nice -- infused with florals. Both are a great pick me up.
B HuttonNovember 2, 2014Great place for coffee & snack, hope you're cool with the laptop crowd that sometimes makes this place look like a startup incubator
Arthur SeanzarelliAugust 13, 2012The ham, cheddar, scallion scone is amazing! And today's baristas are very wonderful! Thank you for making my morning!- Delicious muffins and cupcakes! And I love all of their teas over ice 👌
Sarah PNovember 27, 2014Cupcakes, cake, coffee, Mac and cheese, atmosphere, good work environment, cute
Dog friendly, free wifi, great atmosphere and delicious desserts. What more can you ask for?
Got half a dozen cupcakes. They were good but not baked and wired good. And their 6 cupcake holder was craptacular and didn't even pretend to hold the cupcakes in place. I only live three blocks away- Best bakery in town. I live for the pumpkin muffins carrot cake and red velvet cupcakes!
Wonderful Indie coffee shop. Great staff and excellent coffee.
Dvd LgnJanuary 29, 2011Great place off peak hours, the decor is a bit too much on the pastel color spectrum for my taste. Decent coffee, great cupcakes and bakery.
Amanda KrutOctober 1, 2011On certain days (the weekends, I think) come right before close and hook yourself up with six delicious cupcakes for nine dollars.
I love buzz teas and energy bars. I have never tried cupcakes although I've heard they're good. I'm worried if I try them I will be doomed! Too addictive!
Becky RodriguezNovember 3, 2013Delicious baked goods!! Gotta try their 9:30 club and Cookie Monster cupcakes!!
The sausage quiche is fantastic. And I don't even like quiche.
SilverGwynFebruary 10, 2010For breakfast: quiche or parfait. For lunch: 1/2 a sandwich will do. For dessert: Recommend the 930 cupcake or any one of the tasty treats! Read more
Taryn Brice-RowlandAugust 7, 2014Breakfast sausage quiche here may be my favorite breakfast I've found yet
Chris A.June 23, 2012I religiously come here every Saturday morning for their iced frappes....they are epic!
Jofi JosephSeptember 13, 2014I hang out at Buzz almost every day! A great spot for coffee and sweet pastries! Jofi Joseph
Scott NorrisSeptember 21, 2014Coffee draws some, baked goods for others. I love the rice crispy treats
Eric SimmsJune 26, 2011It's a busy, crowded place. If you want to bring your laptop to do some work, you might want to bring a pair of earplugs as well.
Great service and great baked goods more or less make up for lousy coffee. Great ambiance helps as well.
Their savory scones are amazing! Check them out.
Buzz cupcake (espresso, buttercream, crushed Oreos on top) and espresso brulee are both good options. Read more
The kids area keeps shrinking, but the pastries are the best around.
Try the Glorious Morning muffin in the morning and The Buzz Cupcake in the evening.
Ellen S. P.April 3, 2010The macaroons and the lemon cheesecake are Passover-friendly! They also have adorably ugly home made peeps for Easter.
Check out Derek Evry's acoustic set on the first Monday of every month!
