Buzz Cafe

They would’ve gotten a much better review had it not been for the f-​ups in the kitchen; the food itself was good. Had a nice flavor and nice presentation. However, after my boss and I giving very easy but specific mods for our orders (he wanted sriracha sauce on the side on his breakfast sandwich and I wanted grilled cheese with tomato and bacon), he received it with the sauce ON his and I got grilled CHICKEN with tomato and bacon. If the place had been busy, I could understand, but we were the only two in there at the time…

I went there this morning at 9am and they were closed even though their hours say 8 – 12 on the door. Not sure if they are still operating as a business!

This place is adorable! Great atmosphere — loved the music that was playing, comfy and plentiful seating and beautiful art to look at. We came for breakfast; I got the Huevos Rancheros wrap which was delicious, prepared really well with perfect amount of all the ingredients. Coffee is La Colombe so you can’t go wrong there. The only reason they didn’t get 5 stars was the fact that they were out of croissants on a Sunday. But I wanted a heartier breakfast anyway. Definitely check this little café out!

The veggie cream cheese is HOMEMADE. I was skeptical but OMG! On an everything bagel… Mmm… He needs to package and sell it, seriously!
I also had the sausage egg and cheese on multigrain with their spicy aioli sauce. incredible.
FYI: the owner did ALL the artwork in the café. He’s a great cook, wonderful artist, (and he’s easy on the eyes).
So much talent, bravo!

Great place to stop in and have a bite to eat. Way better than fast food, but doesn’t take that long to get served. Seems to be family run, and quality is consistently good.

This is an awesome place to relax and eat breakfast at. They have a very nice atmosphere and high quality food. It’s an affordable place to eat and they have free wifi. I would definitely recommend this store if you are looking to eat a gourmet breakfast.

Grabbed a cup this morning after a workout — caught them just as they were opening I think. But they were still super friendly and served up a great iced coffee. Looking forward to my next visit!

Love this place. But what is with the weekend hours?

Buzz Café has the most delicious bacon, egg & cheese croissant I’ve had the pleasure of encountering in Philly. Cute neighborhood shop, great food, coffee, service, relaxed/​cozy ambience. The hours seem to change sometimes depending on whether it’s busy or not. Thank you for operating an awesome café.

This is a perfectly cozy, little place to have coffee, read a book, or work on your laptop! The setting is very nice. Service is friendly. I think the biggest thing I like about this place is the extra space upstairs for additional privacy (in the event that downstairs is crowded).

I enjoyed their Nutella-​banana croissant, but the bickering baristas and lack of toilet paper left me feeling like I may not come back.

This is the kind of coffee shop that makes you long to be a regular.
I had the brie fig sandwich on a croissant, and it was perfectly lovely. I also had a cup of coffee, which I promptly spilled everywhere, which incident triggered the owners’ kids scurrying for fistfuls of napkins without being asked. Apparently the munchkins are typically there on weekends, since their parents are the sweet couple that owns the place. The father’s artwork hangs permanently upstairs, while other local artists get cycled through on the first floor.
Props to them for opening this place before the neighborhood was hip & nurturing it to the lovely place it is today!

A solid go to for a top notch Sausage Egg & Cheese — make sure you opt for the Aioli as it is a house specialty and is no joke.
Coffee is on point and the space has several nooks and crannies for you to escape into your book, term paper or whatever project you office folk work on.

This little coffee shop is awesome! The staff is super friendly, there are really cool paintings that the owner did on display, and they’re dog friendly. They serve la columbe coffee, and the food is awesome. Definitely check it out if you live in the area!

Good coffee, relaxing setting and great music playing this morning. Very happy to have found a new hangout.

Wasn’t expecting to find such a good little coffee shop in this nook of Fishtown (Kensington? Where are we?) but I am so down with Buzz Café. The coffee is amazing and I am afraid of the baked goods (in a good way). I always get the B.O.A.T. (bacon, onion, avocado, tomato) turkey wrap and it’s bangin’. Cures any hangover. Plus the owners/​staff are super nice and their kids are precious. Such a chill spot. Be sure to visit.

This is honestly my FAVORITE coffee shop EVER! The owners are so friendly and I love when the kids are there on the weekends, it just makes you feel very t home there. The bread pudding that the owner Danielle makes is nothing short of amazing and the cupcakes are always different and leaves you wanting so much more! If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would.

This place is wonderful. Their baked goods are excellent, try the bread pudding. The sandwiches, coffee and service have always been excellent.

I went back shortly after my first review, and discovered they had massively improved their breakfast situation, and I had simply shown up when their grill wasn’t working.
All the good things I mentioned before are still awesome. Their Diablo sandwich is impossible to skip, no matter how much I want to try something else. Their soups are always delicious and homemade. And I stay far, far away when I’m on a diet, because Danielle wins that battle every time with whatever on earth she’s made that day.
I live thousands of miles away now, but when I come back to visit ‘illadelph, you can bet I’ll be back to Buzz.

I went this morning for the first time. I’ve been in need of a café in the Kensington South/​West Kensington section of the city since El Cafeito closed and I’m over there all the time.
I was very surprised at how immense this place is! I think they have a great selection of pastries and their breakfast menu was pretty good despite the $ 5 pricetag on the sandwiches, that otherwise could be $ 3. La Colombe coffee for $ 2 and a good amount of seating space. I went with a bacon, egg, and cheese on croissant. Perfectly toasted and very tasty!
This place has the makings of a solid coffee shop and I wish them the best of luck! The customer service staff was very friendly and the service was top notch. You get what you pay for certainly! I just don’t think the majority of neighborhood folk can afford this type of place, which is what the problem was at El Cafeito (the majority of its customers were gentrifiers from Kensington South, Temple students, and Northern Liberties residents. I would give this spot somewhere between 3 and 4 stars. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt because of their quick service and lack of cons. I just wish the prices were a little more reasonable.
