The quality of the loaded bagel was really five stars. It was prepared well and the taste is second to none in Oak Ridge. Service is zippy too. Its great value for the price paid. The coffee also deserves a mention. Its smooth and delicate and has no bitterness at all. This is also the best you can buy in Oak Ridge. Seating inside is comfortable and the noise levels are generally lower which is something I appreciate in the early morning. There is plenty of close parking. Its easy to access. The staff are freindly too. Well worth repeat visits. read more

Love this little small town coffee shop! It's cute and clean inside with tables or comfy chairs to sit at. There is outdoor seating as well, so if you have the pups you can hang there. They serve the usual espresso coffees and such, and both the latte and chia latte I had were well done. The breakfast sandwich was also tasty. Overall this is the coffee spot I'd go to if you want something that's good and hey you're supporting #local and #smallbuisness: Win Win!! So skip McDonalds and Starbucks and give Bud's a try! read more

The best chicken salad sandwich I've ever had, so glad I listened to another customer suggest it. Delicious coffee and you have to try the special berry iced tea. Employees are super friendly and quick. Fun place to hangout too. Charming interior. read more

What a sweet little place this is!! I wanted a bit of breakfast today with my husband after we dropped his car off for some repairs. Bud's was close by and had good reviews. It felt like a breakfast "Cheers" where everyone knows your name. We had never been there before but it felt like we were meeting old friends. Jim (part owner with wife Anne) happened to be in town and it was such a delight to learn the history of Bud's. Bud was Anne's father and a giving/caring community member before his death. Jim told me about how careful he was in getting just the right coffee and from whom. That man was in Asheville and worked with small growers in several counties. HH loved his coffee! The bagels are brought in from the best traditional bagel chef in New York! Due to his job in New York Jim is back & forth from New York. I loved to learn that he was a trumpet musician and he has played with our local orchestras as well as New York venues. HH (hungry hubby) and I were delighted with our mini quiches and the spinach /feta pastry was so yummy we had to order more! read more

Excellent & addicting! Love the cappuccino with cinnamon roll. Never have I been disappointed. Staff is professional, knowledgeable & kind.

This small coffee shop opened in the Food City shopping center in Oak Ridge. I stopped in today for a latte just to give it a try. Wow. This is very good coffee. I only do unflavored drinks -- either espresso or coffee. Based on the taste, I can tell they are using some good beans and it is nicely roasted. I'd put the drink up there as top notch. Much better than Starbucks and as good (or maybe even better) than places like Honeybee Coffee. Other than coffee, they seem to have a big selection of pastries, gluten-free items, chia pudding, and food. All looked very appetizing. I hope Buds sticks around. It's nice to have a quality coffee shop in Oak Ridge. I'll definitely be back! read more

Oak Ridge sorely needed a sit down, mom and pop coffee shop. Bud's opened during COVID and was welcomed to town with a warm, caffeinated embrace! The interior is homey and inviting with a farmhouse motif. Service is very friendly and fast. They even did coffee art on our lattes. My husband and I ordered lattes (me-regular, him-caramel) and breakfast sandwiches. You have an option of what goes on the sandwich, but not the type of bread. If I had one suggestion, it would be to offer the croissants they sell as a sandwich option. Instead, it seems to be a toasted, flattened bun, which I've never encountered on a breakfast sandwich. A pleasant surprise was the unique, in-house sauce they put on the sandwiches. Everyone seemed to be inquiring about it. It tastes like a sweetened mixture of a smoky ketchup or BBQ sauce and is really tasty with breakfast goodies. The coffee was wonderful. It wasn't bitter or burnt like some coffee spots. It was incredibly smooth and had some of the thickest milk foam I've had in awhile. They clearly use whole milk. The cherry on top of this experience was speaking with one of the owners, Jim. He was funny, kind, and super passionate about the local community and creating a wonderful environment for all. The owners are talented musicians and Jim even had his trumpet on a nearby table. No serenade? ha. Hope this place is no longer a secret in Secret City! They deserve to do well. read more

Cute shop for a quick coffee run. Large selection of coffees. Limited space and seating but cozy interior.

This is a small business but full of heart. It was busy for a Sunday morning. I ordered three lattes. Irish Cream, Peppermint and cinnamon roll. Every one enjoyed the coffee. I will definitely return here to try other things. read more

Go here. They are great. It is a few years old. There's lots of varieties. We ordered a burrito with eggs, sliced ham, cheese, and hashbrowns. Tuna salad with Vickie's sea salt chips. Small matcha latte and chai latte. The prices could be lower, but it was good. They sell teas, plants, and merchandise too. read more

One of a relatively few businesses in the Oak Ridge area, this was nonetheless a very yuppie kind of place, with ambient conversation centering around people's medical issues. My needs were not huge, and I ended up with a London Fog and a cup of overnight oats. Their oats are mixed with chia seeds so it's sort of like chia pudding, but I unfortunately am reminded that I don't like my oats cold. The London Fog was mild in flavor, and even their smaller size was quite substantial. It was a quick and easy stop. Their bagels looked nice if one has the room for them. read more

A cute mom and pop place in the middle of Oak Ridge. I went recently and ordered one of their spring lattes. They serve yummy breakfast burritos as well. I like how patient they are behind the counter because they have a variety of coffees it makes it hard to choose. Try their seasonal offerings and breakfast burritos! Highly recommend this place! read more

Bud's is such a cute and homey cafe! The homemade yogurt is refreshing and unique, and I would definitely order it again. The latte isn't the smoothest I've ever had, but has an overall good quality. I appreciate that the syrup isn't overpowering and let's the espresso stand alone, but I might recommend asking for a little extra syrup if you like coffee on the sweeter side. Staff is extremely friendly and patient. Love that a place like this has come to Oak Ridge! read more

I'm really not one to make a big deal out of stuff. Like I understand everyone has their off day. But two of the girls today were just really rude. One girl made my order incorrectly, so I brought it up and clarified and she said it's right. Opening the lid and tasting it, you could clearly see it wasn't correct. I order a mocha, not a plain latte. Whatever. I then brought it to the other girl (who was very nice) and told her I think this is wrong. She gladly fixed it, but the other two girls (dark brunette and blonde) were very rude in the way they acted by rolling their eyes, being standoffish, and their tone of voice. I really wanted to love this place however it just left a bad taste in my mouth today. I'll try again just because I believe in second chances but if you were working today, please know that customer service is important and my issues were valid. Thank you. read more

Lots of gluten free options! I had the crustless quiche and gluten free blueberry muffin. Awesome place!

We stopped here for breakfast. We each had the bagel breakfast sandwich. The bagels were very fresh and the prices are reasonable.

This place has become our new favorite coffee shop! Oak Ridge doesn't have many options for coffee so we've really enjoyed coming here. Their breakfast sandwiches are pretty good and they have a delicious sauce that they add to them. They have a nice assortment of pastries and sweets as well. The owners are also super friendly and welcoming! read more

Food is great and staff is very friendly! Store is well kept and plenty of options to choose from.

As usual, excellent espresso. And now, a truly good gluten free bun on my breakfast sandwich. Great just got better. Love this place!

Nice little surprise of a place in the strip mall. Unassuming from the outside. Staff are extremely nice, and the food and coffee were excellent. Had the dark roast drip black and a tasty sandwich. The orange juice was the no pulp kind, I know most people don't like pulp. read more

This was such a pleasant surprise for a small business in a small town. Excellent service. Delicious food and coffee! The gluten free bread for the breakfast sandwich is really really tasty and holds together well. They have a great selection of gluten free pastries as well. The espresso is delicious and they have several non-dairy milk options! read more

This place feels like something off of a tv show. The regulars at this place are awesome the staff is really great. We moved here around a year ago and we're looking for a local coffee place and now so go there all the time the breakfast burritos are fire and the vibe is a lot like that show cheers.
