I LOVE this place! There's a fire to sit around, a good vibe, and the staff here are each awesome!! 😎 What's not to love?! And of course, you can go grab food at the carts nearby! Yum!

Bloodbuzz felt like community the moment I walked in. The regulars come here for a reason - this place isn’t just a coffee bar, it’s a gathering hub.
You’ve got night-shift nurses rolling in for their morning happy hour after taking care of half the city through the night. You’ve got remote workers escaping the walls of their apartments seeking sunlight, strong Wi-Fi, and stronger coffee. And sometimes, yes, somebody orders a shot of tequila at 10 AM—and nobody blinks. It’s a no-judgment zone. Everyone is welcome, and everyone gets to be exactly who they are.
The baristas treat you like real human beings, not transactions. The snappy banter, the warmth, and the genuine care make this place feel like home.

Server has a bad attitude.
Reasonable prices, outdoors, lovely bartenders, and most importantly, there are dogs. I like to get buzzed and pet the dogs. There are two separate breakfast options: southern at Birdies or Mexican at Mole Mole. Both are great. All the carts are good. I get bowls from Desi and burritos from Mole all the time. Native Bowl is here if you're vegan and it's quite gud. If you live in the neighborhood, this is a good spot to come back to. Don't pass it up! Also very comfy for gays like myself. Girls, gays, theys and dogs-- you can't go wrong!

Twas pleasantly warmed on the odd rainy cold day.. and it wasn’t just the fire pit.
The bartenders were incredible. Very personable and made sitting at the bar a great time.
I could tell they truly enjoy doing what they do best!
Honestly one of the best espresso martinis I’ve had, pleasantly surprised!

Hands down, Cody makes the best Espresso Martinis in town! I don't think I've ever had a better one. The atmosphere is also excellent, with lots of awesome people around and great food to satiate your appetite between beverages. Highly recommend!

Bloodbuzz has all the feels of a neighborhood coffee & bar hangout. Some of the friendliest people (Cody with the glasses), and some excellent beers on tap. The best thing about this place is that it's located in a cart pod where they all know each other and welcome everyone with a smile on their face. Always a fun place to watch sports or grab a quick drink while waiting for your food, or to even hang around the fire while you read your daily news.

Bloodbuzz is an amazing concept. On a weekly basis I head to Bloodbuzz so I can grab a cup of coffee and work at the bar. Once my day wraps, I am able to order a beer or cocktail and enjoy food at the variety of exceptional food carts.
Bar staff is incredible, remembers what I enjoy to drink, and recommends other beverages that I might enjoy. Beer selection is diverse and features a bunch of interesting and small breweries.
If you have not been, go now. I wish there was a Bloodbuzz in every food pod.

My partner and I have had two very poor experiences with the same employee. The first time, I ordered a drink and she was incredibly rude throughout the process. At first, I chalked it up to maybe they were having a bad day and didn’t hold it against the her or the business.
During the second experience my partner had a near identical ordering experience, with the same employee acting equally as rude as the previous time. It was taken a step further while my wife was bussing our food, and mistakenly set a tray from another business on a pile of trays someone else had already started, assuming that it was not an issue. The same employee condescendingly yelled at my partner to get her attention, and rudely communicated that it belonged to a separate business, rather than respectfully asking her to bus it at another location.
I don’t expect small talk or over the top service, just general decency and kindness. Don’t be disrespectful to people when they make an honest mistake, or even when they are patronizing the business you work at. It’s a shame because this bar is perfectly good, but they need to resolve the service issues with this employee. I overheard another patron commenting on her service as well.
Edit: this was on the evening of July 10, if a manager is interested.
The location is fantastic and it has a lot of variety to choose from . It can get crowded and seating can become a challenge on a busieer day but overall it wasn't an issue for my group of 6. Really great atmosphere and love the open air concept.
