Stopped in to pick up some cupcakes to spread some holiday cheer at the office. I was lucky to snag festive cupcakes! The only problem was that they were ALMOST too pretty to be eat. Everyone enjoyed. read more

Buzz Bakeshop - Expertly decorated holiday cupcake! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

They have a variety of pastries and other foods. Plus, coffee. It's a cute neighborhood place. I needed a cake and left a message for a callback and they actually called. I was able to place my order with no problems. If you haven't been, do try them. read more

Ordered the buzz cupcake, carrot cupcake, blueberry scone & a latte for delivery during COVID-19. Carrot cake was the best. Moist. I've been to this bakery many times. Nice cute spot. Has some space for laptops, cute little neighborhood and I'm a big fan of rustico. read more

Buzz Bakeshop - Cookies and cupcakes - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Thank you, Buzz, for saving the day! My daughter and I showed up at closing time and they still sold us delicious cupcakes and a Whoopie pie! Phew because my husband and I had Buzz cupcakes for our wedding 15 years ago tomorrow! Can't thank y'all enough! read more

Terrible customer service and mediocre cupcakes. I ordered this place on Caviar and the drink (iced latte) arrived partially full, like it was already partially consumed. I called multiple times to inquire if they sent the drink out like this before I drink it, and no answer. Lastly, the cupcakes are lowkey dry/plain. You're better off going with Baked & Wired in DC if you want an amazing cupcake. 2 stars because their bacon, egg, & cheese sandwich is pretty good. read more

Buzz Bakeshop - Why would you send this out partially full? Playing in my face. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Highly recommend! So many options it was very tough to choose -- I went with the blueberry pie and it was delicious. I took it home and had it à la mode; I certainly will be back to try more desserts. Please update your hours on Yelp! (They close are 6pm and not 9pm), enjoy! read more

I love the casual vibe while maintaining a slightly fancy dessert and pastry selection. It's like the fancy, cafe next door. Servers are mostly really amazing. I wouldn't recommend going if you're in any way on a time constraint. I've gone a handful of times where the wait was 15-25 minutes from joining the line to getting your food. For a cafe, this seems pretty unacceptable. It's not a restaurant where you're going for a full-on sit down dining experience. I often notice people join the line and leave, including myself. I also noticed a couple times one server is carrying all the weight while the other one is dragging foot...Felt really bad for the guy as you could see he was trying his best to meet the needs of the customers without losing it completely because the lines just so backed up. Observed a few times like that. Also, the scones in particular for a few months have been off. I'm not sure what happened as they weren't always that way. read more

I still like Buzz, but I like it a lot less than I used to. Here's why: 1. After the change over/renovation, the seating became weird. It's generally uncomfortable. Also, the counter is weird now too. 2. Although the cake part of the cupcakes improved, that's the end of the improvements - The Buzz Bionic Bar is now half sized. -The cute little teapots with cute little cups are gone. -Nearly all of the non-dessert food options are gone. -There seem to be fewer items in general. 3. It always feels a little cold here outside of summer. Why'd you have to go and change a good thing, Buzz?? read more

I've been to Buzz before for the cupcakes-this time, I was looking for something different. I got these torts/mini-pies: s'mores, lemon meringue, and something else-can't remember but it had blueberries in it. These pastries were DELICIOUS! S'mores was good-you can't go wrong with it. But the lemon meringue was ridiculous. The lemon was perfect-tart and sweet. The one whose name I'm forgetting was also incredible. I'm looking forward to trying more of their items. read more

This was literally the best bake shop I've been to in so long. Everything was delicious and affordable. They had so many vegan and vegetarian options for us and I will definitely comeback again 100% read more

This place is DELICIOUS. I had a friend surprise me with some cupcakes for my birthday. Not knowing what it was, I left the cupcakes in my car for about 10 hours but when I finally opened the bag up and ate them, they were still incredibly moist and tasted like they just got out of the oven. The cakes themselves were super moist, and held a lot of flavor. The frosting was not overly sweet (which is very hard to find) and had distinct flavors throughout. 10/10 would recommend for a yummy gift! read more

I love this place! The workers are always patient and courteous. I can never decide what I want. On St. Patrick's day, I came in knowing that I NEEDED shamrock cookies and birthday cupcakes for my 26year old son. I've been getting him shamrock cookies for forever on his birthday! I got to the bake shop and didn't see any. I asked for them and there they were -- the last 2! Yay for me! The cookies were the best (my son said) and he allowed me to have 1 of his cupcakes!!! read more

A few years ago I was ready to forget Buzz. Then, I stopped in for a quick and convenient cup of coffee and was AMAZED. The place has been totally re done. It's sleek and clean. But the baked breakfast foods Oh My! The quiche is thick, cheesy and fresh. The croissant breakfast sandwiches are delicious and they don't fall apart. So many bakeries in Alexandria have bread that's too thick or they don't heat your pre made item all the way through. Buzz has quality food that tastes and feels like it was made to order, but FAST every time! read more

Despite COVID, I went to Buzz in Alexandria to get their wonderful cupcakes for my wife's birthday. If there is a COVID outbreak traced back to that store, it will likely be due to the young woman behind the counter. With a single pair of gloves--and I don't know how long she had them on before I arrived--she touched the following in this approximate order: A customer's drink bottle, the telephone, computer, her ear, her mask, the customer's credit card, the cash register, a re-used pen, the pen again after use, a customer's coffee cup, the coffee dispenser, another customer's drink bottle, then another round of credit card, pen, pen and cash register. THEN, she went to wipe a table at a customer's request. The gloves were still not changed. Yuck! (I made sure I was helped by someone else!) read more

Words can't even begin to express the magic that is Buzz Bakeshop. Located on 818 N. Quincy Street / Wilson Boulevard in Arlington, VA, they're open Monday-Thursday from 7AM-9PM, Friday from 7AM-10PM, and 8AM-10PM on weekends. They have anything and everything you've ever wanted, and I can pretty much guarantee you'll love whatever you get because their desserts are THAT good. Must-tries include their 9:30 cupcakes (inspired by Hostess but a bajillion times better obviously), any of their whoopie pies, and their brownies. They also have a handful of vegan and gluten-free options available for those of you interested. Sooo conclusion? Definitely stop by if you're in the area and want to indulge your sweet tooth. read more

I stopped in with my spouse on a Monday night on a holiday. We were first time customers and sat by the window. My spouse and I got tea and coffee. We also picked up a few cupcakes in a small lemon meringue pie. The place is charming. But service is kind of slow. The food is OK. But just OK. The ambience is actually one of the best things about the place. It was relaxing. I am not sure if I'd go back since there are so many options. But it was nice. read more

The food and drinks are good; their quiches are absolutely delicious. I know they're more known for the cupcakes, but their marshmallows and cookies are good too. While I do like their cupcakes, I also recognize there are better ones in the area. What I really love about this place is the atmosphere. They have couches and board games and just create a really inviting place. It's a good place to get out of the house and study or bring a book to read. read more

So I get that it's so cool to justify ridiculous rent/mortgages just so you can walk to the local Buzz and that your wife can grab a cup of coffee before yoga...but have you seen inside these bathrooms? The staff may be always overwhelmed but the owners near to remember it's COVID season. Change your gloves when handling money + food and get someone to clean the dang bathrooms. Eww! Not eating here again for awhile... read more

I've been wanting to say this for about a year now and since I experienced it again this morning, I'd like to make a small suggestion to the store to please test out your coffee cup sleeve or consider replacing it with a different type. Specifically, I ordered a Latte and it was HOT. My tolerance for heat is usually pretty high and the walk from the store to my car was less than a minute but my fingers were burning. Other than that, this is a good place for work, free wifi, nice atmosphere, friendly employees, and drinks are not bad. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Decided to stop in here to take some treats to go after dinner at Rustico. We were greeted by the staff behind the counter as soon as we came in. We ended up deciding on a red velvet cupcake and the cookie monster cupcake and a vanilla cake pop. I was disappointed in the red velvet cupcake. The cake portion was dry and crumbling, it just fell apart. The frosting was ok, but it just tasted off, I'm not sure if it was not sweet enough or what. The cookie monster cupcake was on the opposite end of the spectrum. The cake was moist and held together and was filled with cookie dough! The frosting was great and the cute little cookie on top was a nice touch. The cake pop was really good as well. Normally I expect cake pops to be over the top sweet but this was not the case, it was great! read more

Buzz Bakeshop - Red velvet cupcake, cookie monster cupcake, and vanilla cake pop. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Cute bakery. They have a wide selection of baked goods that you can pick from. I came here for their cupcakes. I got a cookie monster and beer cupcake for a friend's birthday. They are pretty pricy for the cupcakes. Cost me over six dollars for two of them. It's a cute place to sit and relax on a lazy afternoon, but parking kind of sucks. I had to circle their parking lot for a while and ended up parking across the street. All in all, yummy cupcakes you should try! read more

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

Buzz Bakeshop is owned by Neighborhood Restaurant Group, a privately held company that owns and operates a number of awesome eating and drinking establishments in DC/NoVA. I'm familiar with their operations both as a one -time employee ( I left for my own reasons after about 6 months), and as a friends, even very close friends with other current and former employees, and as a frequent customer ) originally unaware that many of my favorite establishments were owned by the same people. From a restaurant industry worker perspective, this group is the creme de la creme. They are hyper-professional, creative, innovative, and mostly successful. They genuinely care about the well - being of their employees. They train the hell out of them. They have been extremely responsible and caring pandemic -wise. 'nuf said. From a customer perspective, this should be an excellent reason to keep trying all their different places. I like Buzz because some of my favorite people work there. I am not a sweets person, but the sweets are extraordinary. The sandwiches are delicious. Coffee connoisseurs at work. read more

Been multiple times now and coffee is consistently great. Favorite item has been the cinnamon roll with amazing cream cheese frosting! The breakfast sandwiches were yummy but nothing out of the ordinary. Service can be a bit slow but always incredibly friendly. read more

Buzz.... a cool place with some quirks. The cupcakes were pretty tasty. They also have cake options, scones, and some other baked goods. While the cupcakes are labeled with prices, the beverage menu is not. why? Also, while you may see 3 or 4 cupcakes of the same kind in the case that does not mean they are available. So there were about 6 flavors in the case when we were there but when we ordered, atleast one wasn't truly available. They keep the cupcakes on a bakers rack behind the case so don't really go by whats in the case. There is a parking lot right across the street that is convenient. read more

I really enjoy their molasses cookies! Yum! My fav. Only problem is that they bake only so many.

I was obsessed with their pumpkin pastries that were sold at Swing's so much so that they directed me to here. You may end up waiting a few extra minutes but the staff is so kind and works very hard to get orders out as quickly as possible. I've been here a few times and their pastries and sandwiches never disappoint. Arguably my fav bakery in Alexandria. read more

"Proof-of-vaccine" card required to dine-in. I was a regular customer here for years, 5+ days a week. More recently, I became a regular customer of a different neighborhood bakery (Firehook), but when I found it closed this past Sunday, went to Buzz instead. After taking my order and payment, the "barista" asked if I wanted it to go or dine-in. I opted for the latter, prompting her to say: "OK, I'll need to see your proof-of-vaccine card, required of all those dining in; company policy." My reply: "OK, cancel my order and the charge - I won't be back." read more

I really do think I found a new addiction. That place was great, I went in to buy some holiday gifts for clients and ended up going three days in a row. The box cookies set over the holidays that I bought for my clients were absolutely amazing they were in some great boxes and my clients really enjoyed them. I've visited the one in Alexandria versus the one closer to my home and Arlington just because I figured parking may be easier it looks like they have a variety of sandwiches for breakfast and lunch. The coffee was very good. The staff I believe her name was Terry? She was very helpful and very polite I can't say enough about this place I will continue to go when I'm in the area. Keep up the great work! Thanks again read more

I love Buzz Bakeshop so much. The cupcakes and all the unique treats they have are irresistible. The biscuits are the best I've ever had. And their homemade Caramel in their coffee is sooooo good. It has become one of my favorite places when I need a treat. And the owner and staff are lovely. read more

I stopped at Buzz to get lunch and treats for my kids while on errands when I got home I tried my quiche Lorraine. It was fantastic!!! It was custard-like and perfect. It smelled so good, my 10-year old asked for a bite. My daughters each had a little yo-yo, which was a more delicious form of Swiss cake roll. My daughters loved it! My husband had a bacon egg and cheese sandwich which he said was good, but could not compare with the mini lemon meringue pie my husband and I shared. Finally, the cherry blossom pie was delicious! It was cherry and lemon curd, so good! Everything was so good!!! read more

Was so happy to find this delightful bakeshop on my daytrip to Alexandria and can't figure out why there isn't a line out the door. What a delicious selection of freshly made pastries. I opted for the apple pie which was a slice of pie so big it could serve three people and the iced chai tea. Both were great and it is delightful to be able to sit outside and enjoy them. read more

I think may be the first time I've upgraded a review, but there are few places in the DC metro more deserving. Everything that Buzz Bakeshop did well a year-and-some-change ago it still does well. And then there are the other details I've noticed: great taste in music, super-friendly staff (even the new ones are friendly right away), creative pastries, improved internet (no wifi snags for many months), and those great hours in a city where coffeeshops that stay open late are few and far between. But here's my favorite part about Buzz Bakeshop: they serve Swing's Coffee (not my favorite) and they prepare Swing's Coffee better than Swing's Coffee does. I keep forgetting that it's Swing's! Let's toast to many more late nights and prosperous years for Buzz! read more
