This is my favorite coffee spot in the area. The drinks are always perfect whether you get them hot or iced and they have a lot of different flavors & combinations compared to some of the other places that might only have 4 or 5 flavors to choose from.

Their cream cheese varieties are so good and the bagels...

I got an Iced Latte with Oatmilk and it was pretty good. However, I was in the middle of a conversation when they called my name at the counter. Maybe 60-90 seconds passed when they screamed out “last call for Ben” as if they were going to toss my drink out if I didn’t run to the counter. When I went to pick it up, the entire counter was empty besides my drink and the barista gave me a snide look as if I had broken the law. They need to relax. They’re a cramped coffee...

The staff at buds on jay are amazing. They always ask if your allergic to whatever is in the drink. I had one allergic reaction awhile ago to one of there frozen drink because I didnt know they used a stabilizer that has coconut in it.(totally my fault not there's) I let them know when I went in again and they told me and now they make my frozen drinks with the stabilizer. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is calm and soothing. I would recommend Buds on Jay to anyone...
