Buzz Cafe Philly

LOVE Buzz Cafe! One of my favorites in Philly. Always a good vibe, good people, good art, and good coffee. Lots of really cool vintage action figures and collectibles all throughout the space, you'll definitely notice something new every time. They have some really great breakfast options too, Jack's Legendary is my go to when I'm really hungry. The Huevos Rancheros Wrap is also really good! A really friendly, warm place, definitely a winner.

I loved stopping into buzz cafe last week! Such a cute spot, with so much art and vintage collectibles to look at! My iced latte was perfect and I got their version of a B.E.L.T Minus the egg for lunch and it was amaaazing, hot, and fresh. Buzz is definitely in my weekly coffee spot rotation.

I visited recently with my family. The barista is nice, friendly and welcoming. I didn’t get those exact vibes from the owner and they do have a limited menu. I was looking for a family friendly breakfast place and while Buzz Café Philly is a unique and eclectic gem, I would not say that it is welcoming or hands-on friendly for children/families.

great, affordable breakfast options and a cozy vibe. I especially love how their espresso blends with the chai—my favorite! Must try, welcoming staff!

Not only is all of the art amazing in this place, but the coffee is delicious, too! Breakfast burrito is incredible. If you’re in town, definitely be sure to stop by!

Excellent service, drinks, and breakfast sandwiches! The atmosphere is very cozy and welcoming- a true neighborhood coffee shop. I’m excited to go back!

Breakfast was well done and delicious. I had the Huevos Rancheros with chorizo, my husband had the bacon, egg and cheese on a roll. Both came with a spread of spicy aioli that took them over the top. All the egg and meats were cooked to perfection.

I frequent this place. Love the character and atmosphere. Interesting art that’s always changing. Easy to chat with the people behind the counter, unless it first thing in the morning, bc then aren’t we all just trying to wake up? Always friendly though. Love the bfast food here, the house-made aioli is the best!

This is the opposite of Starbucks. I love this place!! It is a super unique, fun coffee shop. There is tons of seating including upstairs. And always a friendly barista chatting up customers when not making drinks. A very rare find!!

Holy SH$& The huevos rancheros is BOMB. Cool vibe too! This is a must if in the area!

I love the coffee and breakfast sandwhiches and the owners art is through ought the cafe. It's pretty fun to be surrounded by his sci-fi/Star Wars collection and art sometimes based on it. I only wish they were open past 2pm because im a late riser and love later afternoon spots like this.

Excellent place...I especially like their willingness to custom make their signature sandwiches...I highly recommend!

Great place to grab a quick breakfast sandwich and coffee. Interior is very cool, but seating is somewhat limited if you're a person who may have mobility challenges. Husband's huevos rancheros wrap was fine. My classic breakfast sandwich with aioli was the clear winner. Definitely recommend!

Well it took me about 3 years and 5/6 bad experiences to write this review but here we are... I would have given no stars and wrote a descriptive novel on why I dislike this place but they have already wasted enough time. May the force be with you

Coffee is always burnt, breakfast sandwich is stills excellent. I really want it to be better but the coffee just doesn't hold up to other spots near by.

Far from pretentious, non-hipster owned and operated. Super cool hidden gem in North Philly/Kensington. Great people, even greater food. Coffee is delicious. Sriracha aioli is AMAZING. Ask about the dope art work on display :)

Buzz Cafe is a cute spot in the neighborhood to grab a cup of coffee or an early breakfast sandwich. The baristas are super nice and accommodating, and I enjoy small talk with them whenever I stop in. Their veggie cream cheese is amazing -- they make it in house and it goes great with their bagel selection. I also enjoy their egg & cheese sandwiches, although they are a bit pricey. My biggest complaint about Buzz is that it closes at 1 on weekdays and 2 on weekends, so I can only stop by if I'm not working that day.

Buzz has the best breakfast sandwiches and coffee hands down, and the cafe itself is super fun to hang out in. Plus, the guys who run the place are hilarious. It's my favorite breakfast spot in Fishtown/Kenzo.

Woke early in Dawn's new neighborhood last Sat and, while she was still asleep, felt hungry, so I looked on Yelp (thank you, reviewers) for a good local breakfast spot, ending-up here soon after they opened. Had (Philly's favorite) La Colombe coffee and The Inferno (scrambled eggs, chorizo & cheddar with jalapeño hash & ghost pepper slaw, avocado, insanity aioli & chipotles on a habanero wrap), which they say is "hotter than a Kensington Tire Fire" (which did not disappoint) - an excellent combination of flavors that I'll soon order again after trying some other offerings. The premises are cozy & welcoming - the kind of coffee shop to open a book and hangout awhile. The decor is Star Wars themed (plus a nice smattering of artwork depicting local places) and that theme is ubiquitous; I sat at a table adjacent to R2D2 & ET and, when I asked for the WiFi password, I was challenged to cite the 1st two words Princess Leia speaks. Hosts Jeff & (owner) Terrance were most welcoming (and generous). The fun continues mañana with http://facebook.com/events/2035365283257795. Also checkout http://facebook.com/BuzzCafePhiladelphia/videos/1912238495469563 by Terrance. I can't rave enough about Buzz Cafe!

Friendly staff and warm atmosphere inside! Highly recommend the huevos rancheros wrap, it was the perfect size and great flavor. You know how sometimes a breakfast burrito can be soggy? It was not soggy at all like just the perfect combo of ingredients to be delicious and not falling apart. Plus they serve la Colombe coffee Really liked this place and will definitely go back again!

The Diablo was overwhelming hot but all around the other burritos were really good. We ordered takeout and it was easy to pick up but the order took about an hour to fill which was frustrating. Good location on the corner and cool vibe. Would eat here again for the food but would not order takeout.

It's been open a week, and already I've been there almost every day. This place is exactly what our neighborhood has been waiting for. They serve delicious and affordable coffee, have plenty of comfy seats to work in, wifi, and an excellent spread of food. Imagine that. A cafe you can afford to visit daily! What is more, the staff pulls excellent shots - especially the lovely Rachael. The owner is also an artist, and his work is featured around the store. Part art gallery, part cafe, all good in my book. I like Terrance's art and say it's worth a visit just to check out his paintings. As long as they stock plenty of soy milk, you'll find me at Buzz.

Perfect place for studying/working or meeting with a group. Plenty of seating including outdoor and upstairs, plenty of power outlets, friendly baristas, good drink & food menu with prices that don't break the bank. Their hot chocolate is especially delicious. I would come here all the time if they were open later.

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 cafe. He's a great cook, wonderful artist, (and he's easy on the eyes). So much talent, bravo!

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.

Great coffee shop with plenty of seating. Two guys behind the counter were awesome. We had breakfast sandwiches and the Siriachi sauce was excellent. Latte was OK, not great. Would go again.

Ordered two bacon and egg and cheese sandwiches...mine with bagel...my daughter's crossaint...delicious...bagel nice and soft...cost around $12.50...

I went this morning for the first time. I've been in need of a cafe 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.

Only been there once so far, but I'll be back soon! Staff was super nice, food and coffee were fantastic (and very reasonably priced).

The space is cool. The food and coffee were adequate. However, I could hear the girl working behind the counter making rude comments about the customers (including me and my colleague) with her friend who seemed to be hanging out, waiting for her to get off work. I like to support small/local businesses, so I would like to give this place another try someday, but with the abundance of superior options in the area, I probably won't.

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.

Oh boy, let me tell you, I wanted to 5 star this place from the start but it didn't go so well. I went in for a quick cup of joe and a warm biscuit but I became so overwhelmed by the grotesque scent looming in the air. I wasn't sure what it was, couldn't quite put my finger on it, but then I did when I reached for my phone to write this review. It was ME! I had severe diarrhea, I shit all over me goddamn self! If only the staff were nice enough to hose down my rear end and give me a fresh pair of slacks I'd have given them 5 stars. FYI - Keith the barista is a real heart throb, I think he threw up in his mouth a little when this happened but I know true love when I see it.

Went in the other morning on a weekday to grab a coffee before an appointment. The barista was so genuinely friendly and the atmosphere was inviting. The coffee was good, too!

Very cute cafe with delicious breakfast sandwiches and I really enjoyed my mocha latte. Fair prices and nice people, will be back to continue to support local.

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!

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......

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.

Love this cafe. Something about it just feels like home. Possibly the delicious original sandwich recipes. Or maybe it's the portrait of totoro. None the less it's my favorite cafe in the area. Fresh ingredients and reasonable prices with a homey feel, can't beat it.

Found this absolute gem on our trip down from the hinterlands of Easton, PA. Great service, great food, great coffee, beautiful interior. Wish we had one this good up north. Everything here is top notch. DO NOT miss it. An amazing addition and welcome anchor for this burgeoning and eclectic neighborhood. For all you hipsters in NoLib: get on your fixed-gear, put on your sunbonnet and head north a few blocks. You won't be disappointed.

Met a friend here on a particularly euphoric summerlike-spring day in Fishtown. Cheery, outgoing baristas. Decor was great, the place is remarkably nice. I'm happy to have found it. They had the AC going (weirdly I was glad-- it was 83F.) when I walked in, though the upstairs was pretty warm. I'll remember not to go up there when the temp creeps up again. Had a slice of apple cake- BOMB. The owner's wife makes the baked goods herself, I hear. Well she be a dankditty baker, I assure you. Delicious! They have some fruit available for purchase as well, which I always appreciate. Snagged a naner and sat down for a while to study. Free wifi, yay. Didn't have coffee that day, but they've got La Colombe so you know it's thumbs up. Heyo! Buzz Cafe is where it's at.

A must visit if nearby. Comfortable place great service. Breakfast sandwich was amazing. Like sitting down in your living room.

Nice scenery good music quiet peaceful good people all around excellent service will 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!

Buzz Cafe 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 cafe.

If you're not coming to Buzz Cafe, I have one question for you: What are you waiting for? Allow me a moment to extoll Buzz's virtues which include but are not limited to: 1. La Colombe Coffee brewed to perfection 2. Le Bus breads 3. Danielle's deelishish baked goods (I mean there are cookies, bread pudding, cakes, cup cakes...the list is endless) 4. Coffee drinks: seriously, they will make anything. Yesterday, I had a chocolate malt latte. It was sinful 5. Music: both canned and live. Sometimes they open late on friday and local bands play upstairs. 6. Art: this place is visually pleasing. The owner displays his paintings and recently, they held an art show for a local artist who is displaying his work for a month. 7. Sandwiches: They serve both breakfast and lunch options which are only limited by the ingredient choice and your imagination. My current sandwich of choice is cream cheese, turkey, tomato, and cucumber on a multigrain bagel. 8. Salad: Any sandwich can be made into a salad or anything you imagine can be a salad. I'm a big fan of the curry (Thai not Jamaican) chicken salad salad and speaking of the curry chicken salad.... 9. The Curry Chicken Salad: I'll admit, I was disappointed because I was expecting a Jamaican curry but I quickly got over it. I mean peanuts, golden raisins, celery, red pepper flakes, and rotisserie chicken manage to come together wonderfully. It's ambrosia. 10. The staff rocks: They are cool, laid back, nice, and they love my dog. Overall, I give this place 5 stars. The food is good, the coffee is great, there is wi-fi and plenty of electrical outlets, parking and people watching (the neighborhood is a hoot). So like I said: What are you waiting for?

Okay, for starters... their vegetable cream cheese is LEGIT. It's gotta me homemade right there. They've even got spinach in it. I love spinach. Anyway. The entire place is full of nostalgic, pop-culture-type artwork and oddities. It's bi-level and the sun shines bright through the windows as they play some really good music over the speakers (but not exorbitantly loud), so basically, whether you wanna eat, talk, or work, you're good to go. The owner is a gem--I actually talked to him a bunch about his space and found out he makes his own artwork. I wrote more about it here; it's all pretty cool. Great place in up-and-coming Kensington. https://ninaricciwrites.wordpress.com/2019/01/10/whats-the-buzz-about-buzz-cafe/

I've been waiting for a GREAT coffee shop to arrive in West Kenstington for a couple of years and this is IT. I only wish the hours were expanded. They do a great job with the coffee-it's really consistent. I've sat for a couple of hours doing work w/o interruption, and that's a real bonus. Other times, I've been able to chat with other locals who also love this spot. The other day I was running late from an appointment and JUST made it at 4pm as they were locking up. One of the owners saw me in my car and waved me in for the last cup of the day. Now that's customer service! I wish them the best of luck..

I love this place!!!! The coffee is superb...sandwiches are delish and have assisted in curing a few hangovers. The service is top notch. What more can you really ask for in a neighborhood coffee shop?!

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.

Hidden gem in north Philadelphia. Food is good. Price is right! I love to visit for the art work and the decor. Many pieces are done by students from the high school around the corner. Good spot to get some work done ,read a book & get some good grub.

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).

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

Simple, hip place with decent coffee and light dishes. The coffee isn't magical, but it does the trick if you're in the area. The light dishes are a bit overpriced. It's a nice space with lots of light and character. The people are nice. There is WiFi.

Delightful place. Good coffee, good baked goods and sandwiches. Brie and fig honey jam on a croissant - scrumptious. Decor is bright and comfy. Prices are fair. Too bad they're not open a little later each day.

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 Cafe. 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.

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.
