The Buzz

We gave it other chances, we are done.
Last time my husband went to see if they had lemon squares but the place was close. When he went to open the door because he didn’t see the small sign that said close he peeked inside and the guy that was in there gestured to him to leave because they were close. My husband said his face looked annoyed and he was very rude telling him to leave. I don’t care how big the sign was, there are other ways to treat customers. My husband is usually more naïve about rudeness than I am but he noticed that. That was just plain rude ! Never again.

I lived down the road from this place before it even opened and we fell in love as soon as we saw those giant baked goods through the front window! Even now living 15 minutes away, I still love going here.
It’s simple, fresh, local ingredients — most are procured during the peak season for those ingredients and from what I understood, some items run out or aren’t always available because demand can be higher than your supply when you buy local. So I am happy to know that they run out of fresh ingredients sometimes, it means they don’t keep a huge stock of food so it doesn’t have the chance to go bad!
There are fresh home made baked goods with love put in every morsel. Whether I stop in for coffee or if my husband comes in for a giant, decadent brownie before heading to work, we absolutely love this place!
My husband is such a picky eater, we rarely eat at restaurants because he is almost NEVER satisfied with his food. and forget breakfast, he typically hates eggs. But he came home one morning from this place with a breakfast strata that was a huge portion he was raving about how good it was. This is huge for him to RAVE about anything with eggs.
I love the cozy atmosphere with chairs and couches to lounge. I cannot speak for any new staff hired at the establishment, but my husband, myself and our children are always treated with respect and understanding if we had questions about anything (like the huge coffee/​espresso menu!) I love this place. Buy local, support local.

Overpriced, extremely slow service, and why must goat cheese be added to practically everything they serve? Snooty staff which doesn’t make sense for the area… maybe they’d have more success if they moved to Urbana. Not the same since ownership changed

I choose one star just to get started! I would have otherwise left it blank.
I’m so disappointed it’s hard to put it into words.
I’ve been working with The Buzz for 3 – 4 weeks now for a catering job that they committed to weeks ago for a party of 50. Just today they sent me an email telling me they were too busy to handle the job!!!
This is two weeks before the event!
I would never recommended or use them for anything ever again. Very unprofessional

I stop in maybe once a month and the food has always been good. Great scones and baked items. I will not go back though. I’m not sure if ownership has changed but the service is very very slow. I waited about 20 minutes for a bagel which never came and eventually I just walked out.

Poor service… the cashier made a racist comment pretty much as soon as I walked in the door and he also made an inappropriate comment about another employee’s breasts (racism and sexual harassment)
Food was poor… ordered the sausage potato and cheese bake because they ran out of bacon and sausage (what kind of breakfast place runs out of bacon and sausage at 11 am?)…sausage bake came out and was cold meaning that it is frozen and reheated for every order… why wouldn’t you at least reheat it correctly? (Cold food)
Definitely will never be returning here… if not for the lack of quality food, then for the fact that diversity is not welcome… I guess that’s only to be expected at a place in such a small rural town (terrible establishment)
I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

Fantastic food. A bit pricey but always very very good. If you want some original food for lunch or breakfast try them. Fantastic deserts.

This place is really as good as it gets. While the space is small and the shopping center is less than attractive, their food more than makes up for it. I love that they rotate their menu items on a weekly basis. I’ve never ordered something here that I didn’t like. Today it was a panini with roast beef, caramelized onions, mushrooms and swiss cheese with a side of the best horseradish sauce I’ve ever had. Their menu says the paninis come with a side of chips «unless we change our mind and decide to make potato salad instead.» I’m so glad they changed their mind today because the potato salad was also some of the best I’ve ever had.
The desserts are RIDICULOUSLY GOOD and so original. I believe they are all homemade. Today was the Kentucky Derby — a layer of pecan pie bar topped with rich, moist brownie. Also got the s’mores bar — best treat ever. The marshmallows were perfectly gooey and somehow they managed to keep the chocolate chunks from melting entirely, which I loved.
I only wish the prices weren’t so high and the portions so small. The roast beef panini above was something like $ 11 with just a small scoop of the potato salad. But the flavors at this local treasure are so good that you don’t even mind paying so much.

This little bakery is a local gem. Grabbed some baked goods to go a few times and bought some birthday cakes. The cakes like all items are amazing and of the highest quality and ingredients.

Did not like their coffee. I can’t speak for their food but the flavored latte I had was not good. While in town visiting family I was in the mood for coffee and wanted to try a local place that wasn’t a corporate chain coffee shop. I found The Buzz on Unilocal.Stopped by & ordered the Butter Rum Latte. Was not good, had an odd taste, too much foam, kind of bitter & not sweet enough.
Would not stop @ The Buzz again for coffee.

I have visited this charming little place twice now and both times the entire experience was stellar. To start the minute you walk in you get the vibe of a country chic café. It’s mismatched tables and vintage inspired décor sets the tone for the meal. We chose a seat outside on our first visit but one wasn’t available on the second. Both times though the service was friendly, fast, and warm. The menu changes often (weekly?) with really fun menu item names. The first time I ordered a BLT frittata and my fiancé got The Buzz version of a traditional Benedict both were served with a fresh fruit medley and both plates were scraped clean. On our next visit I ordered a meat strata and he got strawberry Nutella crapes. Once again the food was without fault. The coffee that’s served is velvety smooth and nutty – just a really nice morning treat. As far as other treats go we’ve kept our willpower and haven’t tried any of the assorted baked goods at the front. The food is scrumptious, the atmosphere is inviting and comfortable and the service is prompt and warm.

Came here yesterday as we were cruising through. We were hungry and I’d heard so many great things, so we stopped in. It’s a very unassuming little place in a strip mall. When you walk in it feels cozy and fun. Everyone is friendly.
I got the flatbread sandwich and it was so good. I wish I had enough room left to get one of their incredible looking desserts! Guess we will have to come back!

Great spot with some amazing breakfast food, great pastry, superior service and solid coffee. Really happy to have found it. Doesn’t look like much from the outside because it’s next to a 7-​Eleven in a strip mall, but you definitely want to stop by Buzz and check it out — I dare you not to have at least one thing as soon as you step in.

Pretty cool little local place to grab some coffee and decent food in a cozy atmosphere. The staff, and who I assume to be owners, are friendly and welcoming. The coffee is good but the flavored coffee was overdone and had way too much flavoring. The food had solid portion sizes and you will not leave there hungry. The food was pretty good and something different, which is never a bad thing.

Where do I start.
Crappy food and everything I get has hair in it. The only thing that tastes remotely good is there bottled water.
The «bakery treats» are stale, and dry. They could pass for cardboard.
Seriously don’t go here. If you want better food, go to McDonald’s.

I love this place! The food is fantastic. The scones are legend. The service is great. The place is small and food is made to order. Sip some coffee and relax, it’s worth the wait.

Had breakfast here that was very good. Their tater tot trailer hash had some really smart things going on. Tough to give me something I haven’t had before, and they did it really well. I also got to try their breakfast strata and a crab meat fritatta — both very good. Fresh fruit was best quality you can get. Didn’t get to have pastries yet –but they looked amazing. Friendly service too. Would give an extra half star if I could — only thing keeping it under a 5 was that they seemed to get a little frazzled as a rush came and took awhile to get us our check. But we will definitely be back!

Service is usually good and the food is almost always spot-​on. The one time it fell a bit short was the last time we came here (right before Christmas so they were busy with lots of groups and catering orders) when the side salad I ordered consisted of some wilted/​rotten greens. Otherwise, everything else I’ve had here during the 3+ times I’ve been here has been simply delicious. Still a regular brunch spot during our visits to MD.

I used Unilocal!to search for a local bakery to get a birthday cake for my mom. I called The Buzz and talked to Minda who gave me a few ideas as to what she could do. After viewing the cake options on-​line I called back to order the Oreo Cookie cake which she said was amazing.
First off the service was very friendly and I was impressed that I could get a made-​to-​order cake within 24 hours. Second, the price of the cake was very reasonable. Last, as Minda stated the cake was AMAZING.
The place isn’t just a bakery. They are a café that seems to have yummy looking food thats fresh using local ingredients. I’ll have to try it out some time.
I also can’t wait for the next family birthday to try some other cake options she had (s’mores? yes, please).

You know what I love most about Unilocal?Finding places like The Buzz in the middle of nowhere. I would never, ever have known about it — and I was desperate for a place to eat at 8 a.m. The Buzz gave me a home-​cooked, absolutely DELICIOUS breakfast that I wanted to shovel into my mouth quickly — but didn’t, because I also wanted to savor every bite. Very, very good food — and while I live far away, I WILL go back whenever I’m nearby. Prices are reasonable, service is very, VERY friendly, and the place is really cool to admire while you’re there, too. Thanks, Unilocal
