The Local Buzz

I was very excited to try out this new coffee shop. I’ve lived in shandon my whole life and have been wanting a place like this for a long time. I’ve heard nothing but good things about the buzz and love how they reach out to the community. But now, I don’t understand why it got such great reviews.
As I walked to the door I stopped by and read the neighbor’s comment about the owner suffering from a mental illness. I was very taken a back with the note and am curious to know what they did to piss off the neighbors since they’ve only been around for a short period of time? But I still decided to give the café a chance.
I was welcomed by a sweet barista (can’t remember her name but had dark hair) and a really funny guy who explained to me how everything worked and let me try out all the ice cream! I decided to get the Cali but was very disappointed when the lettuce was yellow and wilted and the avocado was brown. Not good quality! especially after paying 9 dollars for it. Very disappointed.
I was the one of the only customers in the café so I could hear everything the older woman who made the sandwiches was telling another customer at the bar. She spent the entire time talking poorly about her employees and judging them on their character. Not professional at all. Made me feel very uncomfortable and unwelcomed. It was very sad because her employees where working hard with the coffee counter while she talked badly about them.
Later I heard this woman introduced herself as the owner and was EXTREMELY shocked at her behavior. I believe we should always support our local businesses but when the food is over priced and the quality is low, the shop is creating tension with other local businesses, and the owner talks poorly of her own employees to other customers — we need to reevaluate where our money goes.
I do not plan on coming back to the local buzz. future customers beware. it’s a scam.

I work from home. Occasionally, I need to get out of the house to get the creative juices flowing. This place has been open for a several months and is within walking distance of my house. It is nothing fancy, but their coffee is good, their wifi is reliable, and they seem to have nice food options, including vegan and gluten free stuff that is scratch made. Coffee was very good, setting was comfortable. Seems like a good place to get some work done or, in the afternoon or evening, to hang out. Staff and owner were very nice. Great addition to the neighborhood.

The owner is extremely warm and friendly and has a heart to serve the vegan and gluten-​free community with her homemade baking. She is very open to ideas of what the community wants. This is the benefit of a small local business. Daily soups and featured vegan and gluten-​free fare is featured on the Facebook page.
This portrays a very homelike and comfortable environment and you can just relax and enjoy your coffee or grab a game to play.
Don’t let the address for you. It really is on Rosewood just down the road from Rosewood Market and on the same side of street.

Overall, Meh. I really wanted to like this place; I’ve seen it on social media and thought it seemed like such a cute homey place to go… Plus I love to support local!
They advertise their new soup flavors daily so I thought it would be perfect to stop in for some soup. I parked and started walking to the door when I noticed signs on both neighboring businesses begging UPS and FedEx not to leave packages with The Local Buzz. That was unsettling… I mean they haven’t been around long and they’ve already pissed off their neighbors?!
So I go in anyway and order my soup– it was ridiculously bland. I think they forgot to add salt and pepper so I had to season the crap out of it before it was edible and still I was so disappointed. I ordered a French onion soup which came with no bread or cheese, it was literally uncooked onions boiled in a watered down beef broth. I was so bummed! Maybe their other soups are better but this was a miss.

Great locally owned coffee shop, the owner you can tell really has a lot of passion, were from California, and used to great espresso, and we were definitely impressed.

Such a great local coffee shop. I love studying here. It has a great environment for students, families, or if you just want a warm, delicious meal and a cup of coffee. I really enjoy this month’s specialty drink, raspberry mocha.
I highly recommend the local buzz!

Love this new addition to the neighborhood! It’s a great place to grab coffee, hang out with friends, or study for a few hours away from campus. I’ve only tried the food once (tomato soup), and it was really good. Coming here often!

My first time here and I Loved it, the white chocolate cappuccino was yummy. I ordered a strawberry & banana mini loaf and I honestly wanted to order another one, dont get né wrong the amount was just right. why didn’t I? Well Too much of a hood thing… But also I was very satisfied. The ambiance is very relaxed and I enjoyed the friendly smiles that welcomed me as soon as I entered the small café. I will return soon.

Went here for lunch with the family. soup special was kind of bland and could have used more seasoning or salt (which wasn’t on the table), sandwich was extremely dry, mac n’ cheese was okay though.
The coffee’s look very good, same with pastries & ice cream. I think if you go there for the coffee & deserts you will be satisfied. The atmosphere is lively & service is great.

Cute neighborhood coffee shop and café. Feels homey. Smoothies, coffees (they make their own pumpkin latte mix from scratch!) yummy homemade bakery items, hand dipped ice cream made locally with organic ingredients and some delicious yet funky flavors. Haven’t eaten at café yet, but the soup smelled amazing and the menu looked tasty.
Very friendly staff. If you come during «after school» hours, you may share a couch with some teenagers like I did… But they weren’t loud or rowdy, they were too busy texting the person sitting right next to them :)

Great service! Would love a larger to-​go cup (only offered one size), more space at the cream/​sugar counter and would prefer natural light in the seating area – very dark with lamps, but too dark for me personally. The muffin I had was awesome!

Cozy little startup with an incredibly friendly staff. All your familiar buzz drinks are on tap including some exciting big city ones.
