Having never tried the magic elixir I was unsure about stepping inside but once I did I got an education about the liquids benefits from the owner who not only educated me but gave me a sample. But this is more than just Kava and it is not a bar in the traditional sense - they have amazing coffee and pizza to die for Thursday- Saturday. The vibe is cool hipster California eatery gets with a Nee Orleans Speakeasy. The laidback atmosphere is perfect for getting work done using their banger wifi and most importantly they dont mind if you hang out from opening to close. Great place to meet friends or have an important business meeting. They also are artist friendly with an amazing venue in the back - Im looking forward to their shows.

The Buzz is the Craft Beer Bar in the Whole Foods in Bee Cave…read more Don't knock going to Whole Foods to drink. The comparable establishment at Whole Foods Domain - the Draft Shack - is one of the two best beer bars in Austin. (The other one is the Beer Plant) And, no, I do not want to hear all the anguished cries of pain from fans of Bangers, the Draught House, Pinthouse etc. etc. etc. In terms of quality of selection, the Draft Shack and the Beer Plant are it. And just in case, I checked this out with God, the last time he was Yelping in Austin. (He was having Korean Fried Chicken at Seoulju, where He was impressed.) He agrees with me on the beer places. * * * The Buzz is not as impressive as the Draft Shack. There are forty percent fewer beers. There are a lot more you-can-get-them-lotsa-places items (Celis, Left Hand Milk Stout). The rare items are not necessarily well chosen. I had a Rocket Fuel - a Vietnamese coffee porter. This is, for all intents and purposes, chocolate milk passing itself off as beer. * * * However, the headline story of Buzz is the scenery and the location. This is more of a place to hang out rather than a place to get fussy over your beer. The room itself is no great shakes, but there are three balconies and these make all the difference. You can overlook the store. You can sit outdoors on the service side and look at the doctor's office across the street. Or you can go whole-hog I-love-the-Hill-Country-Galleria, and sit on the main balcony and look out at one of the busiest pedestrian intersections in the Galleria. In the Draft Shack in the Domain, you can kind of forget where you are and lose yourself in the room. It is a small internal place where all the views look inward. The Buzz wants you to sit on a balcony and see the world. So a lot depends on whether you love or hate the Galleria. The couple behind me were all-out Galleria lovers. They had been there much of the afternoon. It was quite clear that this was a destination good time for them. They had picked two chairs with good views and were wholly immersed in the passing scene. I would guess they were regulars. I am fascinated, intrigued and repulsed by the Galleria all at once. It is a fake artificially-planned city - in the tradition of the Domain Austin or the District at Green Valley Ranch in Las Vegas. For a shopping mall/city it is surprisingly well done. They put City Hall and the Public Library right in the middle of the mall. City Hall is an impressive structure. Bee Cave Police Headquarters is also right in the mall. So they do what they can to make this a real town. Citizens can go to the Galleria to attend City Council meetings and give speeches at the mike about the motion under consideration. There are public squares. There are large single family homes, of urban design but pretty nice looking. There are sitting places on the corners for people. People can and do sit on the corner benches and talk to their friends. The Galleria feels both planned and synthetic. However, it is the bona fide center of the City of Bee Cave. Life revolves around it. The store and restaurant line-up is pretty decent. There are places I would want to eat, places I would want to hang out, places I would want to drink coffee and places I would want to shop. (I actually did shop while I was there. I loved H & M.) Real offices overlook much of the scenery. The sign on the wall at Buzz promises that the balcony offers views of real Hill Country sunsets. That is kind of hard since neither balcony faces west. Just between the wall of Whole Foods, and the wall across the street of the European Wax Center, you get a ten degree snippet where you can make out a sliver of western sunset sky. I suspect most of the customers get better Hill Country views from the windows of their own homes. * * * That said, the comings and goings of the street below are not uninteresting. The Austin hippie/techie count is low but not zero. The rich teenager count is high. Half are accompanied by Mom or Dad. The unchaperoned kids do shenanigans. The shoppers have their dramas, just as shoppers always have their dramas. The late afternoon light makes everything warm and inviting. It makes you almost want to take a job at one of the offices where the sun is pouring in. * * * So passing an afternoon at the Buzz is not the worst torture that life can mete out to you. But I would still rather drink at Whole Foods Domain. The scenery here is nice. But Austin is not short of bars with great crowds and great scenery.

There are three different balconies outside that offer great views of the domain area. Great people watching opportunities since you are upstairs. One of the balconies has a view of the lake, which is my favorite. The drafts are reasonably priced, with most being $5 for a pint. This was a nice discovery inside the market.

The chips are super fresh and the guac was delicious too. Tortillas tend to make or break a restaurant for me but both the flour and corn are really fresh and taste like they could be made in house. My favorite thing here is the agua frescas, all the flavors are great. They don't taste artificially sweet, just natural fruit sweetness. You can add tequila to them as well! Ambiance here feels upscale, with instagram-worthy decor and swanky lighting, but casual enough that I don't need to dress up too much to come by and hang out at the bar. Service has been quick and friendly when I'm there but, to be fair, I always go on pretty slow days/hours. It's a nicer take on tex-mex that feels and tastes way more authentic than other places in Austin. I've been back frequently and would definitely recommend to others.
