Terrific coffee!! But need to learn some customer recovery. They lost our food order and when questioned we were told that we only ordered coffee - not for $45 we didn't!! Eventually after nearly an hour the food was dropped on to the table (no eye contact) with no apology or any attempt to make up for their error. They have difficulty coping when busy. Business and staff role models need a rethink.

Extremely Expensive, noisy and the food didn't arrive! I was very disappointed in this place! I paid over $5 for a large coffee with tip. It was not good coffee. My friends waited and waited for their food. For a table of five the dishes were spread over more than half an hour. All in all this was horrible.

Went to the Buzz for the first time in several years. Nice atmosphere, nice staff, but the baffled egg was lacklustre - it used to be delicious. It says it has Swiss cheese, which may be true, but it was a tasteless processed cheese slice, and where the baffled egg used to be toasted in a panino machine, it just comes on a regular bagel now. All in all a disappointing food experience.

The food was good. Liked the vibe of the place. The cafe propagates plants, which was something hearty to see. There's a small gift corner. After placing the order, payment and considerable wait time, I was told that the cafe ran out of ingredients. My reorder was placed after the new orders and all of us had to wait. No one said sorry, which was a bit surprising.

Love this coffee shop! Delicious drinks, the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had (the one with halloumi)! LGBT+ friendly and just such a lovely, welcoming atmosphere. Great staff. Can’t say enough good things!!!!!!!

The best local coffee shop in town ! Love the ambiance, the aesthetic is gorgeous ? The staff is always so helpful and kind, the drinks are DELICIOUS - lots of vegan options, including drinks and treats. Very inclusive as well, one of my favourite thing being the fact that they host events for all / where everyone is welcome and celebrated - from awesome drag shows (which we need more of always!) to art workshops featuring local artists) - very thankful for this gem!

We really like this place, staff are friendly, coffee is great and they often have very cool food options (Turkish eggs!). They even have a babycinno for kids. We will keep coming back.

I stopped by Buzz Coffee House this morning and tried their Mango Chia Pudding, and let me just say, it was AMAZING! ??

Wonderful little place. Super friendly staff, even helped me with my coffee (as I had a stroller). Great Avocado toast and carrot cake. Will be coming back for sure!

Locally owned, which is important to me. Service was great, the coffee was wonderful. They are super friendly and don't push you out the door. This is a place you can take your time, read a book etc. Three thumbs up ;)

Only had a Macha Latte, but it was delicious. Was very tempted to try the food, everything coming out of the kitchen looked delicious! Next time I am up that way!!

The best vanilla latte I've ever had! The staff are all courteous and friendly. The interior is very clean and spacious. I liked that the person who handed me my bagel (delicious) gave me a thumbs up. Overall amazing ?
