"We had been looking forward to trying The Buzz for quite some time, and after a full day of great stops in Kenosha, we made this our last destination before heading home. Unfortunately, it ended on a disappointing note. When we first walked in (Saturday afternoon around 2 PM), I was excited to check it out, I often blog about coffee shops and highlight what makes them unique. I asked the barista where they sourced their beans from, and she responded that they came from Milwaukee and were made special for The Buzz. I thought that was really interesting, but she offered no further detail. If I worked somewhere with beans roasted exclusively for our shop, I’d be eager to share more about them, maybe even encourage customers to visit the roaster. I then asked her what their most popular drink was, because that’s what I wanted to try. Instead of answering, she simply pointed me to the specials board and their regular menu. While that’s helpful, it didn’t answer my actual question about their best-selling drink, the one customers rave about and keep coming back for. The biggest disappointment was the service. Rather than welcoming or enthusiastic, the barista came across as dismissive and uninterested. As someone who has worked in coffee before, I know the excitement of telling customers about a café’s signature drinks or unique features. Here, I felt unwelcome and brushed off. It’s a shame, because the shop itself has potential, but the lack of hospitality really soured the experience. Service and passion are just as important as the coffee, and sadly, The Buzz missed the mark for us."

"Grew up going here, now live 30min away but every time I’m in Kenosha I try to stop. A cozy, hidden gem with great coffee and people :)"

"I came in this morning (11/30) surprised that the cafe was even open, I would assume the cafe would be closed the morning after we had such horrible weather. The service was great and the coffee tasted good, my only concern is why was there only one worker running the entire cafe? If she wasn't a manager she definitely ran the place like one and most likely deserves more than whatever she is making right now."

"I moved here in 2022. The Buzz was one of my favorite places to come to. Unfortunately I can no longer support this business, or any of the Grease and Honey restaurants after my boss informed me of the Mercier situation.. reading the Medium article deeply disturbed me. I hope they learned from that, but I cannot in good faith continue giving them money."

"Another fine hole-in-the-wall in K-town that my wife & I recently tried for the first time and we were very pleased with this place. A different approach then your typical café and The Buzz Café is quite unique actually. They pretty much have a drink to suit every different mood and we love the cozy somewhat eclectic atmosphere. Venue is clean, staff provided exceptional service and the menu has some great choices including healthy options. Good coffee/ tea menu but the beer and especially wine list reigns supreme. An all around café that's an excellent stop in for coffee and a bite or a glass of wine/craft beer after work. Always try my best to support local-owned businesses and I'll gladly come back to this one and refer to other family, friends & co-workers."
