I just enjoyed the most delicious breakfast pizza. The crew at The Buzz always comes up with the best ideas for their rotating menu and this month’s Breakfast Pizza is a stand out! A generous portion perfectly balanced with crispy on the bottom, chewy in the middle naan, homemade tomato sauce, bacon, sausage, cheese, topped with two poached eggs and micro-basil that brought it all together.

The staff is super friendly here!
I was very pleased to have breakfast at this location. As a restaurant owner myself, I had to leave a review with high marks. I had the blueberry scone and the meaty sandwich, both of which were excellent. The specialty clicked coffee, and espresso were amazing— Everything was well put together. I highly recommend this place. It's wonderful to find gluten-free, freshly made from scratch foods.

I stop in to Buzz every couple weeks to pick up a scone or two and the gluten-free tart for my partner with celiac disease. The scones are always top-tier, but as a butterscotch lover, I have to say the oatmeal scotchie scone is just <chef’s kiss>. It’s absolutely worth stopping by (get there early before the scones sell out).

36 cupcakes for a VFW was $120. They were pretty small and of average quality. I could have made these myself with a box cake and lemon extract. I expected better for that price. Didn’t even get the lemon sprinkles promised.
Edit. The owner reached out to me today and has refunded my money. Thank you for having integrity!

Slowest service in history. Food over priced. Food was cold when received. Will never return. People came later and received food way before others.

The only word I have is disappointed. We went in this morning for two coffees and a plain bagel toasted with cream cheese. After a few minutes the lady in the back proceeded to ask us what we waiting on for which we told her the bagel and she rudely responded, it’s gonna be awhile you can wait outside. We weren’t feeling like sitting in 90 degree weather so we moved to the front of the restaurant where I proceeded to ask another employee If she had started the bagel because if she hadn’t, we would just happily take our coffees because we could tell they had a big order and she was stressed (totally fine). She got upset that we had asked the lady upfront and proceeded to start talking about us, mind you we were 5 feet away and could hear everything. As someone who works in customer service, it’s not hard to be kind even though it can be stressful at times. I used to like the buzz but the lack of customer service has left a poor taste in my mouth and I definitely won’t be back.
Love this little gem. It's a great spot for breakfast, lunch, or other daytime treats. So welcoming, too.

Everything we had was delicious. Would highly recommend!
Great little bakery/restaurant in an unassuming location in Monrovia. Staff are always very friendly and attentive. The bakery goods, cakes and coffees are second to none. If you get a chance I recommend grabbing a table and trying one of their creative breakfast or lunch options. Their menu changes monthly and the food is fabulous.

I stopped in on a Saturday morning. It seemed busy, but the staff were all super nice and friendly, and the service was fast! I just got a coffee, and it was amazing! And they used REAL Whipped cream on top! Everything else looked and smelled delicious, so I'm already planning a trip back!
Delicious food!

I came here after seeing reviews. The place is amazing I just wish they were open longer than 3pm! They offer so many desserts and creations they also bake cakes! They also have many coffee creations too! The bakers they work hard and come in early in the morning to prepare. They also sell photography, on their wall. They also are closely connected to their community on their board. The woman there also told me she changes her menu every month so if you come once a month you can try all their uniqueness when it comes to bakery. Come see what the buzz is about!!!
Dietary restrictions: On the menu they have gluten free products.
Kid-friendliness: They are connected to their community specifically I saw they had a poster for a Linganore High play and the fire department bingo. They also have TV to occupy little ones.
