Baked goods are awesome. The staff is super nice. If you want to do a little art shopping they have local artists work for sell. Great little place to stop!

A small business with a quiet and relaxing environment.
Prices were decent, the staff were friendly, and the food/coffee was pretty pleasing.
Parking is somewhat difficult but is free.
Bagged coffee along with books and other items are available for purchase in the store.

I was driving across the country and stopped here for an iced Americano and a breakfast sandwich. Super cute place with great service and good coffee. I travel a lot and finding and supporting locally owned coffee shops is my jam. Keep it up Buzz Cafe!

Yall! When I tell you that is the BEST bread pudding I have EVER had! YUMMY! The cheese cake was delightful!
The staff were super friendly! Super great experience.
I most definitely will be back to try their lunch menu soon!
They also sell a variety of teas to make at home!

The Buzz Café is an absolute gem! The food was incredible – we tried the burrito, croissant breakfast sandwiches, cinnamon roll, and cheese Danish, and everything was fresh and packed with flavor. The vibe of the café is perfect – cozy, welcoming, and just the right atmosphere to relax and enjoy a good meal. On top of that, the staff was unbelievably friendly, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!

Nice little shop with nice sandwhiches. There are also some of the nicest antique shops I've ever been to in walking distance.

Parking: Street parking is available. It's located in a roundabout.

We stopped in here in the morning after staying at the Benton Motel overnight. This was a very friendly, homey small town restaurant. The wait staff was kind and seemed to know many of the customers. It was like going to your friend or families house as opposed to a restaurant.
As far as the food, my wife loved her coffee. She said her breakfast was the best meal we had on our 4 day trip. She had an omelette in a spinach wrap. I had a ham, cheese and egg croissant sandwich. It always was very delicious. We got a frosted cookie and chocolate brownie for the road. A must stop if you are going to or by Benton, Illinois.

So, glad we finally gave The Buzz a try. Breakfast and lunch are excellent. It's quite apparent that the ingredients used are quality. The staff is super sweet. We definitely plan to make this cafe one of our regular stops.

My coworker and I LOVE The Buzz! Staff is always friendly and kind, coffee and food is always hot and fresh, and the atmosphere is so welcome and warming.
Food favorites include loaded oatmeal and the summer salad - poppyseed dressing is so good!
What others love (cause I can’t do much gluten) ALL the pastries and baked goods and the buffalo chicken wrap.

Drinks - stupid sweet tea! Then add in any flavor syrup. New dirty sodas are great too.
