Crema's Take

“Buzzing Bee is a passionate, owner-operated spot where Brian sources beans from Lone Light and crafts a signature mocha that's become legendary among regulars—the kind of place where espresso tastes genuinely chocolatey and smooth instead of aggressively acidic. What really sets it apart is the genuine warmth and community-first ethos that permeates everything, from the thoughtful pastry pairings to Brian's commitment to giving back, making it feel less like a coffee shop and more like visiting a friend who happens to pull an exceptional shot.”

Buzzing Bee sources the best local beans and pastries. The drinks are on point every time. Plus the guy serving the coffee is super friendly, give back to the community, and is pretty hot.

Owner operated, he wears a black and yellow striped t shirt, sourced beans from Lone Light, and makes his own killer mocha recipe. Great work!

Holy cow… Ever since the “third wave“ I haven’t been able to find a cup of coffee out and about that didn’t taste like a lemon… This is the best friggin coffee I’ve had in years. So chocolatey, so smooth, so good! And as always with a good barista, good conversation as well....three cheers
