    Out and about getting those 10,000 steps in. Headed down Railroad Park and the west end to see what was going. Lots happening to see the least. The Tiki Bar and Monday Night Brewery are in the same complex. The whole area seems off the beaten path to me, but you can't argue with the wisdom of crowds -- and the place is pretty busy. The crowd is pretty young with many sets of scrubs and Heersink t-shirts. Coffee shops' design seems to fall into three broad groups. Whammy is in the austere variety, which I like. There is also outside seating for those who like option. Like the decor, the menu is minimalist. Having fully caffeinated for the day, I opted for a bottle of kombucha. There is also a limited pastry cabinet for those who want a bite.

    What a great little coffee spot! Whammy coffee is on the very end of 1st Ave S below Denman Lofts. I think this is a very up and coming area and so it's exciting to see a coffee shop as cute at Whammy pop up! This space is designed beautifully for studying and catching up with friends. Had a pumpkin spice latte and iced hibiscus tea, and the most delicious quiche. The baristas were very friendly and helped me pick out the right drink!

    Whammy's Coffee is such a fun and welcome addition since opening in March. The moment you walk in, the cute dino-themed decor gives the place a playful, cozy vibe that immediately makes you smile. It feels thoughtfully designed without being over-the-top, and it's a great spot to relax or grab a quick drink. The caramel latte is easily a standout--smooth, perfectly balanced, and not overly sweet. It's quickly become my go-to order. As someone who lives in the loft above the shop, the convenience honestly can't be beat. Being able to head downstairs for a great cup of coffee whenever I want feels like a luxury. Whammy's Coffee has already become a neighborhood favorite, and it's clear a lot of care went into making it a special place.

    Whammy coffee is a nice spot to grab a cup of coffee or snack. It's also a nice spot to catch up on some work. You can have a work meeting , etc. The staff here are really nice and friendly. The vibe is casual and has a fun atmosphere. Give them a try if you are in the area!

    Smooth drip coffee and creative lattes like the Gold Rush (orange-vanilla latte with cardamom + rosemary) get lots of love. It's well-balanced, not overly sugary, and friendly for everyday sipping. Soft lighting, and good vibes. A solid stop whether you're grabbing a morning cup or settling in for some chill moments

Genuinely had a top 5 cortado here, the flavors are super unique - there seems to be some Asian influence to their flavors? Love that they use minor figures as well. The guy taking my order was so kind and friendly, inside was clean and inviting and the bathroom smelled incredible lolllll. Check this place out!

    Came here after reading reviews…read more I'll start by saying the staff were decent enough. Not super friendly but not rude. Just there. I ordered an iced americano given it was a hot day around noon. I got my drink and went to add creamer and sweetener like I always do. And bam that's when I noticed this place was one of those we are going to force you to have what we believe is healthier for you. What do I mean. No Splenda no equal just that nasty truvia. I'm diabetic so I don't use sugar and truvia is just nasty. It tastes horrible and makes your drink taste horrible. Now mind you they will use all kinds of syrups with dyes and additives and sugars but nope not Splenda. That's bad for you. The 50 grams of sugar in a single vanilla latte is totally fine. We're ok with that even though that alone is over the recommended amount. But Splenda no we can't allow that. Will never be back.

I was specifically super excited to try their seasonal matcha special, which was made with horchata (also from Salud!) and strawberries, if I recall correctly. Unfortunately, we walked in only to find they were out of the supplies needed to make the drink. :( I was caught off guard and didn't know what to order, but the barista recommended a latte with maple flavor so I went with that. The interior was clean and spacious and had a relaxed and calm but energetic feeling to it. Good place to hang out or work quietly. There's a self-service area to spruce up or fix your drink or grab lids or stir sticks. Service was nice and my drink came out quickly. It was pretty good but not really the "right" drink for me. I like my stuff on the sweet side and this was much more balanced and coffee-forward. That said, it held its own against my sugar-craving taste buds and I drank most of it, which is usually the hallmark of good brew, lol. I don't really blame them because I blanked on what to order and just went with what was suggested. It's probably a great suggestion for lots of other folks! Would be happy to come back and try a different beverage. Seems like a nice place overall. :)

The shop may be small, but it has a cozy, welcoming feel that makes it a comfortable place to enjoy a cup of coffee. Even though it's located in the lobby of a building, the décor gives it plenty of character and makes the space feel warm rather than temporary. I could easily see myself coming here to get some work done or simply relax for a while. I decided to try one of their seasonal drinks, the Berry & Bee Latte. While it wasn't quite my favorite flavor combination, the espresso itself was well made, and I wouldn't hesitate to come back and try another drink from the menu. Sometimes a seasonal special just comes down to personal preference, and this one wasn't quite for me. The standout of my visit was the chorizo, egg, and cheese empanada. It was absolutely delicious and easily the highlight of my order. There's a short wait for the empanadas, but that's because they're warmed fresh after you order, and it's well worth it. I'd gladly wait a few extra minutes for something served hot and fresh. The only area where I think the experience could be improved is staffing. During my visit, the barista had to step away from the counter several times, which left me waiting a few minutes before I could order. Having a second employee available during busier times would likely make the flow much smoother and improve the overall customer experience. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and would definitely stop by again. The comfortable atmosphere, quality coffee, and outstanding empanada make Daily Buzz Coffee worth a return trip, and I'm looking forward to trying a different latte on my next visit.

I accidentally spilled my drink upon picking it up and the employee was kind to make me a new one right away. Another employee offered shelter from the heavy rain multiple times.

I didn't spend much time inside the store, but both the indoor and outdoor seating appeared to be a nice, comfortable environment. I would highly recommend this coffee shop :)

I ordered the avocado toast, and I'm so happy I did! The toast itself was great, and the tomatoes and pickled red onions paired together so well. For my drink, I tried the Strawberry Matcha Lemonade from the summer menu, and it was good as well. I was happy that the matcha wasn't overpowering, and the strawberry flavor wasn't heavy either. Honestly, I didn't notice the strawberry flavor very much, but the drink was still refreshing. I decided to sit outside, and the weather was so nice. The staff was great and willing to answer any questions I had about the menu. The location was convenient and had decent parking around noon on a Friday--it wasn't overly crowded. There was a little bit of a wait, but it wasn't too long, and my drink came out before my food. Overall, I had a pleasant brunch experience and would definitely come back to try something else!
