Found this place located close to hotel where I'm staying. Super friendly service and fantastic coffee. Perfect find for this out-of-towner.

Upgrade! Visit 2: I dropped something off at the Post Office and had a sudden urge to buy a sweet coffee drink. I normally opt for Starbucks because I know their drinks are at the right sweetness level for me. The lady at the counter was super nice and helpful and made some suggestions based on my palate. I tried a cold drink similar to a Caramel Macchiato. Yum! It was actually a tad stronger than I would like, but good enough for me. Visit 3: There is a little sign that advertises their daily combo- Burger + fries and a drink for $6.99 Pretty good deal I thought.. So I gave it a whirl. The french fries were super crispy and had a touch of seasoning salt sprinkled everywhere. It really hit the spot!!!! I thought the burger was okay, not mind blowing. Now I know where to go if I want french fries or a sweet fix! read more

Buzz the-Coffee & Cafe - I wanted a burger. The fries were yummy - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

I have been going to The Buzz on and off for years. I recently started working downtown more often and finally stopped by their new location. For those of you who don't know, they're now in The Underground right by the BancFirst teller downstairs. It's a nice location once you know where it is (the map is correct on Yelp, but just know it is downstairs). The Buzz is a special place. It isn't a Starbucks (thank goodness) and it isn't a full-menu restaurant... so sometimes it isn't what I want. But, when I have a minute and want something warm to drink or a good salad or sandwich, I try to remember them. The owners and staff are really friendly and make you feel appreciated for coming in. I love their salad with chicken. It is simple and flavorful... I've tried to recreate it at home and it just isn't the same. I don't actually like coffee so I usually get the salad with chicken and a milk steamer with toasted marshmallow flavoring. Its _really_ good. read more

My favorite coffee shop in OKC. I make sure I stop by at least once a week or more, I line near Edmond. I never regret the trip. The owner is really nice and sweet, she is always smiling and here good mood is infectious. I recommend the Americano. It's good and has a great kick, perfect way to kick-start my day. read more

Buzz the-Coffee & Cafe - The Buzz Coffee & Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

I stopped in to get coffee while on a business trip. The Starbucks in the nearby Hotel was closed. I ordered two drinks while waiting for the woman to make the drinks a man entered with a canister of insecticide he walked around the restaurant spraying along the baseboards and then went behind the counter and sprayed around the coffee machines, counters around the women's feet who was making my drinks. He sprayed bug spray up the counter between the pastry case and where the counter met. (All while doing this he was flirting with the clerk.) He made a comment he should be less obvious. I wasn't sure if he was talking about making a pass at the clerk or spraying the bug spray. I made a comment- you might want to be less obvious and spray for bugs after hours when customers aren't placing orders. He said it is harmless. The woman said she had that concern but they told her it was harmless too so she felt it was fine to spray insecticide while preparing drinks for customers. At this point, they guy says he is sorry i am one of those paranoid people and went on ... I told him if it was so harmless why doesn't he spray some in a cup and drink up. I decided I really didn't want the coffee and at that point left! Kind of stupid to spray insecticides in a restaurant when customers are there. Welcome to Oklahoma City. read more

I understand that this is Oklahoma City and folks roll-up the rug at 5 and downtown becomes pretty deserted. From the outside, my first impression was that I thought the place was going to be pretty trendy. They had a really cool logo with nice big street-view windows. When I walked in, I felt like I was in a tacky thrift shop. The chairs looked like they came from those old Pizza Hut stores. There is no atmosphere or ambiance. I stood around for about a minute while the owner finished his conversation with an apparent regular. No hello, no recognition that I was there, nothing. He informed me that he was closing but offered to let me hangout while he closed up shop, which I guess was nice. I asked if there were any other coffee shops or places where people go to hang out and with WiFi access. He mentioned the Starbucks in Bricktown. He then mentioned the Coffee Slinger (which is where I ended up, very happy by the way). He concluded by saying what a Neo-Nazi the lady was about using their coffee mugs (I bought 2), and how they only had one size (but offer refills). I could tell there was some bitterness about something. Anyway, I guess if you want a rating based on the product or coffee, I can't give you that, but the service and the environment was less than pleasing. read more

Buzz the-Coffee & Cafe - the outside of the building - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Came here on my lunch break from jury duty. The owner is extremely friendly and very quick at making delicious sandwiches and wraps. I have not tried the burger and fries. But, I had the club sandwich and a cafe mocha. Very excellent sandwich and the coffee was even better. I don't come down the tunnels in OKC often, but I think I might start coming just for this delicious experience. read more

Excellent coffee that puts the assembly line chains to shame. After reading the previous two reviews, I felt some things were a little unfair. I've been going to the Buzz off and on for many years. If anything could be said about Tim and Ali, it is that their opening hours are very inconsistent. Sometimes it's 7am, sometimes it's 8am. Granted, they are parents who cart their kids to school, etc, but business is business. You should open at 7am. As far as both reviewers comments about finishing conversations, they are a little talkative with their regular customers, asking how they've been, etc. I don't consider that a bad thing really. The insinuation that they are racists is completely ludicrous. The very likely reason people got their order ahead of you is that they accept call in orders. So you can call or fax in your order and it will be waiting on you when you arrive. Overall, I think the average person would have a great experience coming into the Buzz. Their espresso/cappuccino drinks are incredible... which is how they got that customer base to 'chat with' in the first place... Anyway, give them a try at their new location at: 101 N. Broadway Ave. They are not on the corner of Robinson/Park any longer. read more

Cute little place with amazing friendly staff, amazing food and wonderful coffee. I will be back every time I'm in Oklahoma City

I spotted this "cafe" after one of my trips to Midfirst Bank which is right around the corner. On my first trip I was greeted by two hipster-looking kids whom were a little bit older than I am. They were both friendly and nice. I ordered a chicken salad and a latte. When they bought me my food the chicken salad wasn't the way I pictured it. The chicken was shredded and was thrown on the greens in a way that made it appear as if it were vomit. Since they were both so nice I kept the chicken salad and gave it to my friend in a doggie bag and sipped my bland latte that tasted just like strong-brewed black coffee. They are so lucky that I am nearly impartial to my coffee! The second time I went to the Buzz was with a relative. On my earlier tryst I saw that they served smoothies. This was around 11:30 on a friday afternoon. We beat the lunch rush by about 10 minutes. As we got in line, we had to wait for the owner to stop having a conversation with a friend. After he finished chatting, he took our order. As the lunch rush came in, everything began to look different. The two young hipster kids gave the cafe a young, alive feeling. However everyone that came int he lunch rush were 50 years and up and they all seemed to have their noses up in the air. We ordered way before the lunch rush crew however we were the last two people to receive our orders- and they were ONLY smoothies and not full-course meals as were everyone else's. I was so embarrassed that I brought a guest to this establishment. After we left she talked about them like they were dogs to everyone that we know. She said she'd never been so abruptly discriminated like that before. I'm not one to play the race card or anything, but even me as an optimist observed their blatant actions. This is downtown Oklahoma City, not the deep south, well, atleast not the last time I checked. I love to go out and eat lunch and this is the first time i've left a restraunt feeling angry and just plain HURT. So I guess....if you want less than decent service BUT by nice staff- you have to wait until atleast 4:30 and you MIGHT be able to catch absent-minded hipsters kids. Or if you're a wealthy white businessman/woman whom carries a briefcase-this just might be the spot for you ALL OF THE TIME. Word to the wise: Olive skinned, dark-haired people go to Quizno's, it's just around the corner! Better food, better service, and it's the only place where 1 sandwich will fill you up until dinnertime. read more

I work downtown and this is probably the closest coffee shop to me, so I stop in every once in a while. The employees are super nice, friendly and welcoming, which is always a good thing. I haven't tried any food there, but their coffee drinks are pretty good. It's a cute, hole-in-the-wall location that's a convenient stop for downtown employees. read more

I love this place! It's located in the OKC underground, which is already such a cool place to visit. It's very close to my office, so whenever we go the staff recognizes us and they are so kind. The coffee is really tasty as well, with a variety of flavors! If you ever find yourself exploring the OKC underground, definitely stop by! read more

The Buzz is a perfect addition to downtown....Delish! LOVE this place! I walk in and they know my order. They make amazing skinny hazelnut lattes and the best Soy Vanilla Chai Lattes. With their knowledge of coffee, they have opened my eyes to a world outside of Starbucks! They also offer a great variety of breakfast items and an expansice lunch menu! I've always had nice, friendly, servers, who were personable and cheerful. Really great people!! Bottom line: Great expectations. Expect a chill time, with great coffee! read more

I am from out of town so this spot was a little difficult to find but worth it. The coffee was amazing and my breakfast sandwich was so good. The service was great and she was so nice. Very good! Will come here again if I come back to OKC. read more

Ignore the reviews from 2009, The Buzz has moved and is essentially under different management since then. This is the most personable local coffee shop you will find in OKC. It's a hidden gem in the underground, underneath the BancFirst building. The owner always remembers a face and does her best to remember your order. The coffee is exceptional and she makes sure you love it before you leave. read more

I'm a regular at the Buzz. The proprietress, Alison, is a delight and very committed to providing a high quality experience. If you're a coffee person, she will give you the quality you want. If you're hungry, she can provide a tasty breakfast or lunch. The Buzz is by far my favorite coffee shop/cafe in town The Buzz is located in the BancFirst Headquarters basement next to the tellers and mail station. read more

Let's clear the air here, shall we? After reading a couple of the outlandish, ridiculous and absurd comments posted by what are clearly non-regulars, I have to comment. The downtown business regulars are ultimately the customers that are paying the rent and I'd hardly classify the downtown workforce as "noses in the air". But I would certainly classify Kitten Kisses X?....really? as pretentious. And perhaps a bit of a racist herself, the comment about the workers at The Buzz being racist is beyond preposterous, the customer base of The Buzz is as multi-cultural as any business I know. And as far as Captain Cox's review, I think they disqualify themselves for obvious reasons....tacky thrift shop? Are you kiddin' me? The Baristas at The Buzz have a combined 70 plus years of experience in the coffee business and there is absolutely no coffee house in town in business longer, with original owner(s), than The Buzz- coffee and cafe'. After 15 years of serving the downtown business community, they MUST be doing something right. It is true though, they're not for everyone. If you're an uber-sensitive, self rightous and pretentious wannabee, well...maybe you should just keep moving. But if you love great coffee, wonderful food, interesting conversation, cool owners who have traveled the globe and an awesome downtown environment.....The Buzz - coffee & cafe' is for you. read more

OK, Love the Buzz, great sugar free varieties. They have moved to a new location inside the concourse. Beautiful deco, love the friendly atmosphere, great burgers, great salads, try it again. read more

No one can beat Allison's friendly smile and her burgers and fries are literally the best in town! This is downtown's secret and it's a good one!! read more
