The Buzz

This cafe is wonderful! I absolutely love their scones and the cheddar bay biscuits are AMAZING. Over the holidays they accidentally double charged me and when I went to them to have it fixed they fixed it on the spot and were so quick and wonderful about it, they also gave me a box of fresh baked goods for the inconvenience which was such a delicious treat. I always bring friends here when they visit from out of town.

I was extremely disappointed with the quality of breakfast at this establishment when compared to the price. I got a $14 bagel lox on a supposedly “toasted everything bagel” per the menu but the bagel was not toasted at all and definitely tasted store bought. The fruit that came with the meal did not look fresh at all and only had 4 to 5 small pieces of pineapple and cantaloupe in the cup. The fruit was not edible. For a $14 breakfast sandwich I expected higher quality, the meal I got was not worth the price at all and was an extreme disappointment. The other dish I got was the polar plunge French toast which was slightly better but it was dry and did not include the “whipped cream and real organic maple syrup” as advertised on the menu. If the dish didn’t come with certain items then it should not be on the menu as it’s false advertising. I wouldn’t even minded paying extra for the syrup if I had known it wouldn’t be included. I also would not recommend the cupcakes here especially considering they are supposed to be made in house. The cupcakes I got were small and the icing was nothing to write home about. Overall, I expected better quality breakfast/brunch food for the price I was paying. The menu description and website made it seem like a cute local cafe so I was excited to try it. Needlessly to say, I will not be returning and I’m ashamed to say I spent $60 on a low quality breakfast I may as well gone to Dunkin’ Donuts. This was supposed to be a special breakfast since it was a family’s birthday, but everything tasted store bought. Did I say I was extremely disappointed?

I love this place! The Buzz cafe was recommended to me by friends with excellent taste, and the relaxing back road drive to Monrovia makes going for breakfast and lunch even more special. The coffee arrived steaming hot and smelling great wit a little pitcher of cream. The caramel scone was amazing! A perfect pair with coffee, somehow both light and satisfying with every bite. Our food was gorgeous to look at and delicious to eat. Everyone was content and full so we ordered our desserts to go (I am so looking forward to opening that box of treats at the end of the day). What a great time, I wish we had gone sooner!
