The coffee is very good, the service is excellent. Very solid selection of baked goods. Call ahead if you want something substantial.
FiOS 50November 28, 2011Tiffany MacIsaac is the pastry genius behind the Neighborhood Restaurant Group's Buzz Bakery, which now supplies area shops with her cakes, cupcakes, scones and more. Try the Buzz Breakfast Brioche!- Though packed on weekends it's still a quiet work place. Great Ceremony coffee and of course the cupcakes are top notch. Get the mocha 👍
Nice to have coffee in a real ceramic mug, but it's hard to find a seat inside. I think all these people must live here.
Jeffrey CadmanJuly 11, 2017Skip the traditional cupcakes in favor of the specialty filled ones for really nice, moist treats
Abraham KamarckSeptember 11, 2014#Coexist Coffee also available by the bag at Buzz! And, in the hopper every Sunday for #CoexistSundays!
- 4SqR Expert M BoudreauOctober 25, 2012Fat Elvis Cupcake, bacon and Elvis trends collide in an adorable treat that touches all the rich, sweet and savory bases at this Alexandria bakery/cafe.
Miguel BuddleMarch 25, 2017Don't get the vegan chocolate chip unless you're a vegan. Do get the blueberry lemon scone. Unless you hate life and good things. Then don't get it.
Lindsay AllenMarch 2, 2015The morning muffin is amazing- a cross between a pumpkin & carrot bread with dried fruit baked in!
Mary W.August 18, 2016Get the cinnamon crumb cake - it's divine! Skip the sugar headache inducing cupcakes
Pick up frozen scones and cookie dough to bake your own goodies fresh on demand at home! Also check out the artisan ice creams and popsicles available in the freezer.
The best coffee shop in the Arlington/Ballston area to work/study!
Very zen like atmosphere on Sunday afternoons - great place to chill out, study, or a little bit of both.
Maria MillerFebruary 19, 2012Awesome cupcakes, cookies and tea. If you're in the mood for something savory, the mushroom quiche really hits the spot.
Allison KasicAugust 30, 2015Better seating options than the Alexandria location. The chairs on the patio are super comfy.
Parking is a pain, but it's worth it. Love the feel here better than Slaters Ln and the outside patio is to die for.
Joe ZMay 15, 2019They have tasty treats and take custom orders. They made "Game of Thrones" cupcakes for my viewing party.
Chris BambergerDecember 3, 2015Absolutely love the pumpkin muffin. Dollop of cream cheese inside. Yum!
Jessica HuffDecember 20, 2013Great cupcakes! Check out their Twitter account for info on their baking classes too!
Staff is great, good coffee, always busy in a good way, great place to work for a few hours
Breakfast and lunch (new) sandwiches are very good, especially the breakfast panini.
The gluten free menu us growing and the coffee is great!
TheCupcake CriticAugust 27, 2012Great cakes! Wish the pricing were more straight-forward though. Ranges between $1.75-$3.99.
Erica ThompsonJanuary 15, 2015I only went here once, but the place was cool, and the food was great.
Jay StaufferNovember 30, 2011I think their best pastries are the fresh muffins in the morning which rotate flavors with the seasons.- Best coffee outside of Seattle. Also the scones and pop tarts are amazing.
Atlanta Food & Wine FestivalMay 7, 2014Would you travel to Atlanta just for breakfast? You might if the talent behind Buzz Bakery was cooking. Join them at Atlanta Food & Wine Festival May 29 – June 1. Read more- Only in the fall, but pumpkin cupcakes are to die for. Not super sweet!
The earl grey cookies are delicious! And the cheesecake cupcakes are amazing.
Travis ValentineJune 1, 2011Great new addition to Ballston. Food is great, atmosphere is cool, and staff is super friendly.
Brandi HortonAugust 26, 2011Gluten free delights abound. Be sure to ask, they may have more than you see on display.
Sometimes if you go right before they're closing, they'll have specials on the cupcakes so that they don't have to throw them out.
Be careful with the small, round, orange tables. They are quite tippy.
the cookie monster cupcake is my new favorite. COOKIES!! UM-NUM-NUM-NUM-NUM
Campbell BirdJanuary 23, 2017Feels a little anachronistic now that the whole cupcake trend is so played out.

"Kale Caesar Salad is good! Or if you have a sweet tooth and want to do your own wrap, might I suggest: Grapes, Apples, Quinoa, Avocado, Candied Pecans, Arugula, and the Champagne Viniagrette. Yum!"
Christie Griffin - 7.4
"Friday night, 10-11 pm: nice and quiet! They're polishing floors and restocking a few aisles, but it's still a very quick shopping trip in contrast with the after work rush."
