The Buzz - Monrovia

I stop in to Buzz every couple weeks to pick up a scone or two and the gluten-free tart for my partner with celiac disease. The scones are always top-tier, but as a butterscotch lover, I have to say the oatmeal scotchie scone is just . It’s absolutely worth stopping by (get there early before the scones sell out).

36 cupcakes for a VFW was $120. They were pretty small and of average quality. I could have made these myself with a box cake and lemon extract. I expected better for that price. Didn’t even get the lemon sprinkles promised. Edit. The owner reached out to me today and has refunded my money. Thank you for having integrity!

Slowest service in history. Food over priced. Food was cold when received. Will never return. People came later and received food way before others.

The only word I have is disappointed. We went in this morning for two coffees and a plain bagel toasted with cream cheese. After a few minutes the lady in the back proceeded to ask us what we waiting on for which we told her the bagel and she rudely responded, it’s gonna be awhile you can wait outside. We weren’t feeling like sitting in 90 degree weather so we moved to the front of the restaurant where I proceeded to ask another employee If she had started the bagel because if she hadn’t, we would just happily take our coffees because we could tell they had a big order and she was stressed (totally fine). She got upset that we had asked the lady upfront and proceeded to start talking about us, mind you we were 5 feet away and could hear everything. As someone who works in customer service, it’s not hard to be kind even though it can be stressful at times. I used to like the buzz but the lack of customer service has left a poor taste in my mouth and I definitely won’t be back.

Love this little gem. It's a great spot for breakfast, lunch, or other daytime treats. So welcoming, too.
