Fun quirky coffee shop. Matcha and Coffee Lattes were delish!

I've been here by myself and with my friends and the staff is always friendly and the drinks are always AMAZING!! I have had both their matcha and coffee and both are great. The lemon cookie matcha and the banana bread latte are my go-to's but I've had other drinks and they are all good, just up to personal preference. The food is good as well (Ive had their waffles and avocado toast and both were *chef's kiss*).

I went to the wine bar. Wonderful atmosphere and they had live music. Interesting wine selection. It's important to choose carefully in what you like.
Definitely returning.

Friendly and knowledgeable service from the staff. The place is cute and cozy, creating a nice atmosphere. The food was fresh and tasty. We also ordered a coconut matcha latte and a banana matcha latte—both were okay, though not standout. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and a nice spot to visit.

Highly recommend the Crème brûlée latte. It is only served hot and is sweet. Relaxing atmosphere to get work done during the weekday.

I’ve come to Brewing Buddha religiously every weekend—both days—for a long time, and I truly love this place. It’s been my favorite coffee spot, which is why this is so disappointing to write.
On at least 10 different occasions, they haven’t had vanilla syrup or matcha, both of which are essential for my regular order. Running out once in a while is understandable, but this keeps happening, and there’s just no consistency or stability.
It’s frustrating to show up excited for your favorite drink only to be told (again) that the key ingredients aren’t available. Unfortunately, because of this ongoing issue, I now have to take my business elsewhere—even though I really don’t want to.
I hope they can improve their inventory management, because this place could be amazing and was my favorite for a long time.

My husband and I ordered two flavored lattes: the Cookie Butter and Crème Brûlée. The flavors are on point and did not taste artificial in any way. 🔥 A bonus when ordering is that you can customize the sweetness. (For reference, the ordering the normal amount of sweet is similar to the standard sweetness from Starbucks.) The milk was steamed with skill: not a perfect microfoam, but well done nonetheless. The espresso itself carried the drinks well; any opinion beyond that is difficult to judge as we both had sweet lattes. 🤷♀️
As far as atmosphere goes, take my three stars with a solid chunk of salt because I’m ADHD and get overstimulated easily. I would’ve liked the music a several ticks quieter…aaaaaand that could just be me. Outdoor seating is an available alternative. 👍
Shoutout to Maria for making us feel welcomed and appreciated! ❤️

Went during a weekday and there was no wait time. The coffee was delicious and the avocado toast was a perfect portion for two. Will return.

Brewing Buddha is one of those places that looks super cute inside and clearly has a loyal following because it is packed, and I mean packed, almost every single time. Para ser sincera, the space is tiny for the amount of people that go, and I get overstimulated the moment I walk in. There is barely room to move and you feel people right on top of you.
Their team, however, deserves all the credit in the world. You can tell they work under a crazy pace and somehow still manage to stay kind and get orders out fast. De verdad que I don’t know how they survive that daily because it’s intense in there.
The concept is great, but I feel like this is a classic case of a hidden gem that got too busy too fast. And cuando eso pasa, quality can start to slip. The coffee was okay. We tried the banana bread latte which had a light banana flavor, sweet and cute pero not strong. The lemon cookie matcha was actually amazing. That one stood out. Their sandwiches, though, were disappointing. For the price, getting a cold sandwich with chips that feels like something from a gas station was a letdown.
They truly have a good idea and great drinks, but I think they need a bigger space and a chance to slow down so they can bring back the passion and attention they clearly put into their drinks. Con más espacio y menos rush, this place could really shine again.
