I asked a few basic questions about the menu normal questions that any customer might have and the employee helping me (a blonde woman with curly hair and glasses) immediately responded with a noticeably abrasive and dismissive attitude. It felt like simply asking about the menu was an inconvenience to her. Instead of being helpful or welcoming, she came across as annoyed and rude the entire interaction.
To make matters worse, the menu reflected a closing time of 7pm, not 6pm, yet when this was brought up she responded with even more attitude instead of simply clarifying the situation professionally. If your posted information doesn’t match your actual hours, customers are naturally going to ask about it. Treating people poorly for asking reasonable questions is not acceptable.
Coffee shops survive because of their regular customers and the atmosphere they create. Unfortunately, this experience made it very clear that customer service is not a priority here. No one should feel like they’re being talked down to or brushed off for simply trying to order.
Because of this interaction, you’ve lost a regular customer. There are plenty of other places that know how to treat people respectfully, and I’ll be taking my money to East View from now on.
If this is the way customers are treated for asking simple questions, it’s hard to see how this business expects people to keep coming back.
We walked out and won’t go back.
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.
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.
I found the sandwich burnt after we got home.
Coffee was very good and their pastries were delicious.
Decoration was on spot.
Several tables to do some work and enjoy your coffee.
Staff was friendly but busy.
Definitely will return.
