Really great food - they have really yummy breakfast sandwiches which are always hot off the panini press. They have just really great baked goods too, beautiful cakes and cupcakes and then also traditional bakery items like croissants, cookies, etc - which are all insanely delicious. I think I've tried about everything from Buzz at this point and can say the food and coffee is fantastic. It's also a really great work environment so I come here to work from my laptop pretty often. The tables in the back facing the entrance are great - there is great lighting there for zoom meetings and it's never too loud in there.

I’ve been going to buzz bakery for years but my recent visit was less than exciting. The cupcakes were super dry. Felt like I was eating a muffin. The chocolate icing has a funky taste - kind of rancid. I was disappointed and hope buzz can work on their recipe or at least serve fresher cupcakes.

I tried my very first carrot cupcake from Buzz. It meant so much to me - and it was wonderful! I'm usually an icing-over-cake person, so when I like the cake part of the cupcake more than the icing, that should tell you how incredible the pastry was. It had a wonderful, not-too-overpowering spice flavor to it, much like a pumpkin spice cake, but more "carrot." There were also little bits of carrot in the cake, which led my sister, who I shared the treat with, to exclaim "We're being healthy then, and getting our vegetables today - haha!" Seriously - I've always been a huge fan of white chocolate/raspberry as my top, favorite flavor of all time (Not sold at Buzz - but heyyyyy now that I mention it I highly suggest it!), but I think carrot from Buzz has at LEAST placed itself in second place (in terms of non-seasonal. Sorry, but pumpkin exists). I was very scared to get the cupcake, but Buzz made the whole thing a lot of fun, sweet, and enjoyable. Shoutout to Nemo for helping me select the cupcake, and making me feel more comfortable and safe in trying it. Thank you all - for everything!

We could not be happier with the cake and matching cupcakes from Buzz Bakeshop! They were absolutely beautiful and tasted amazing! The service was great. Communicated through email and received prompt responses. We will definitely be ordering from them again in the future.

I ordered a gluten free cake for a birthday party and it turned out perfectly! Visually, it was incredible, but the flavor - amazing! No one had a clue it was gluten free. Everyone was so welcoming and accommodating. I couldn’t recommend enough!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free

Great things about this place: affordable cakes with beautiful designs and they taste good too! Excellent service. Cons are that the coffee and general pastries are just not great. Would return for some things, but not others.

I used to frequent Buzz for cupcakes when I lived in Alexandria and always loved them. Flash forward to last week when I was looking to order a cake for my friends surprise engagement party and I remembered Buzz does cakes! I ordered a 12 inch chocolate cake with vanilla filling and vanilla finish and everyone really liked it! I choose the Rustic finish which looked really pretty. One note - the 12 inch cake is pretty large and very very heavy! The staff at Buzz were super helpful and easy to work with. I would recommend ordering if you need a cake!

This bakery is so welcoming and warming. the cupcakes are so delicious and moist. My daughter has a wheat allergy, so I am so thankful that they have gluten-free options as well. We will definitely visit often.

I come here specifically for the gluten-free peanut butter cookies and cupcakes. They are hands down the best I've ever tasted. I don't mind driving thirty minutes just to indulge in these delicious treats.
SO GOOD!!! I had their 9:30 club cupcakes and was blown away. Can't wait to go back. Looking forward to what else they offer

I went to this bakery and asked for gender reveal cake. They were so kind and patient. They made me an awesome cake just how I requested it. I would definitely order from them again!

Quite possibly the best bakery I've ever been to. We no longer live in the area but will find an excuse to detour and pick up as much as possible. Good place to sip and get work done.

Excellent baked goods breakfast/lunch sandwiches. Their beverages are delicious.Every time I have been in, the service has been incredibly slow, and by that I mean it takes them what feels like forever to prepare my beverage and sandwich. They will prioritize coffee drinks over my tea. They often forget my sandwich is in the press, and serve it to me bunt.One of the customer-facing employees, a female with wavy long hair (pulled back) is very stern and unfriendly, unapproachable overall. I struck up a conversation with a male employee behind the counter, and the female admonished him for being “too loud” and asked him to “quiet down.” I felt so bad for him.Employees—lighten up. I’m not sure who is driving the apparent tension, but please, lighten up.
