Came here for a post-dinner sweet treat! We got two cupcakes: - Carrot Cake: Definitely my favorite of the two- loved the crunchy bits of carrot that provided textural diversity and the strong cinnamon essence. Also loved the cream cheese frosting. - Chocolate Blackberry: I wish this had more blackberries- the sour contrast & freshness of the berry was very much needed for (& delightful with) the heavy cupcake, but one berry was not enough. Other than the fruit on top, I couldn't really distinguish the berry flavor in the buttercream icing. Are these the best cupcakes I've ever had? Not really. Did they satisfy my craving for sugar? For sure. Their lattes & shakes actually sounded really good, will definitely try those if I come again. There's plenty of outdoor seating (with some inside seating) & parking. Really nice ambiance, fast service. 7.5/10 would recommend! read more

We decided to check out this bake shop on a random Saturday afternoon after seeing some great flavors on their website. I'd say the overall experience was meh. The girl at the register was lovely, super sweet and friendly. The lady making the coffee drinks seemed to be in a bad mood. I was excitedly asking if they had any food truck events coming up soon and no one really said anything, the girl at the register apologized for not having more info. The cupcakes themselves were okay. The gluten free cupcake was super grainy and gritty, not good. The regular cupcakes were better but had way too much almond flavoring. I thought about getting a dole whip instead but it was over $7, which seemed really expensive. The best part of the visit was the coffee. Their iced coffee is awesome! I would come back just for a coffee but I will skip the cupcakes next time. read more

Stopped in this bakery while in The Boxyard for an event. I tried the sugar cookie and the apple cobbler cupcake; both were fine but nothing special. The cupcake was slightly better than the cookie. Service was eh - the woman at the counter seemed unsure of which cupcakes had fillings, which was not helpful while we were trying to choose. Pass. read more

Small shop on the upper floor. The cookie was served warm so the chocolate chips melted nicely. The dole whipped ice cream was a good balance of pineapple and also highly recommended. read more

Buzzy Bakes is a small craft bakery with a style of its own. There's no real dining space except a table against the wall. I order mostly carryout boxes of cupcakes. This review marks my first time trying their cupcake sundaes. Think of it as a different take on a milkshake. The cupcake is turned upside down with soft ice cream on top. Get the best taste by using a spoon to crush the cupcake and stir well. Delicious and not overly sweet like other milkshakes I've had. Glad to have them at The Boxyard! read more

Cookie was awesome. My husband thought it was a little too raw but I thought it was perfect. Touted as "world's best sugar cookie', I don't think it could take home the gold but it was pretty dang yummy. The birthday cake cupcake was cute and nicely decorated. The flavor was pretty flat though, just sweet. Good bakery though. Would return! read more

We were in the area to eat and try a bunch of food. We stopped here for some cupcakes since we needed a dessert to go with our other food. We ordered three cupcakes and I don't remember one of the names but there was the Funfetti, Snickerdoodle, and one other cupcake. The staff was nice and friendly and this was a cozy spot to buy some cupcakes. It was also quick service as well. The Funfetti cupcake was good and same with the Snickerdoodle cupcake. The last one was not bad but I don't remember the name. Overall, this was a good place for cupcakes in the area and would recommend it. read more

Before heading to the airport I stopped into this lovely bakery and chatted with the ladies behind the counter as well as another customer. The yummy treats I picked up included a huge chocolate peppermint cookie and two cupcakes ( Reese's peanut butter and Kahlua) ALL were fantastic. Next time I'm in town I'm definitely coming back here. read more

I am in love with their chocolate chip cookies -- they are delicious and really big. They also have a full variety of milkshakes to choose from. I've only had the cookies and cream milkshake, but I remember it being yummy. I'm not a huge fan of the cupcakes, the flavors that I've tried are good but the cake part was a little drier than I'd like (it could've just been an off day though). read more

Love finding cute little coffee shops and one that's also a bakery is a double bonus! We had a butter pecan latte and a caramel brûlée latte, both were delicious. We also purchased cupcakes, toasted coconut raspberry jam, birthday, chocolate peanut butter and double chocolate, they were equally delicious! The two ladies working were wonderful!! They had recommendations as we initially weren't sure what to get. We definitely look forward to going back! read more

This place (at Boxyard RTP) is adorable, everything from the cakes to the cookies, the gifts & the decor. We haven't tried any of the drinks but the baked goods really taste as good they look! I love that the cupcakes are not overly sweet, and the flavor is what is showcased. This has become our go-to bakery, and we love dropping by to see what's new. The decorated cookies are too cute to eat myself, but we have bought a number of them as gifts. Get there early for the best selection! read more

My son got the chocolate shake, which he thoroughly enjoyed. It only came in one size, 16 ounce. The shake had a fantastic taste with a deep rich, chocolate flavor, and a nice topping of whipped cream. We also purchased a large brown butter chocolate chip cookie to take home, which we haven't yet tried, but looks delicious. read more

What a great spot! I always have room in my dessert stomach so we stopped here after dinner. There are so many options to choose from and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I also got the sugar cookie and the chocolate chip cookie and they are HUGE. I will update once I have recovered from my food coma and can try them ‍ read more

Loved the area this was in and want to go back and explore that. Was a little underwhelmed by both the selection and taste of our choices but we just wanted a little after dinner sweet and it did fill that. Will not be going out of our way just for this but would probably go back if we were in the area. read more

I love buzzybakes. My favorite is the sugar cookie. Perfect balance between crisp outside and moist (but not doughy) inside. And they're huge. The shop is in a fun venue (Boxyard) and the staff are very friendly. read more

I visited the location at Boxyard RTP and it was a nice cozy little shop where the employees were super helpful and welcoming! I tried the blackberry lemonade and the honey buzz cupcake. The lemonade was average so I would probably opt for another drink next time. The cupcake was amazing! The cake had a nice flavor and the icing was so so good. On my next visit, I'd love to try some of their other items such as the milkshakes and another flavor of cupcake. read more

This is a small newish bakery that displays the most delicious-looking cupcakes and cookies. There were probably a half-dozen choices available, like birthday cake, carrot, peanut-butter cup, double chocolate, etc. I am a chocoholic, so of course the double-chocolate one was calling my name. The cupcake was really good. Even though I don't like overly sweet icing, which this was (just a tad), it still had a bit of a tanginess to it, which I suspect is from using cream cheese as an ingredient. The cake itself was richly decadent and extremely moist, and was the star of the show. Awesome cake. I know prices have gone up during the pandemic, but the price of a single cupcake is (including tax) $4.30. Definitely worth the occasional splurge, though. read more

Stopped by this baking after visiting at Lawrence BBQ, Iwad not disappointed pastry was delicious next time i will try cupcakes, veing a baker myself i was very impressed would love to see more of a variety of cupcakes maybe a red velvet or a devil's food with buttercream icing, but give them a shot you won't be disappointed read more

I love the cupcakes here because it's not too sweet. Other places punch you in the face with a sugar blast so you can't really taste the actual flavors. But the cupcakes here have a good sugar ratio while providing you rich flavors. I also really like the consistency of the cake. Not sure how to describe it but it's not too soft and doesn't soak up the frosting. Now that they opened up an actual set store in Boxyard Durham, I'll be visiting more often to get some sweet treats! read more

Buzzy Bakes has opened a spot at Boxyard RTP! I was excited to grab a cupcake here and catch up with friends. I wish I had gotten some pictures - the shop was really cute! When you walk in, the space is very small but feels homey, with a glass cabinet to peruse the cupcake selection. I came at the very end of the day and was excited to see there were several flavors still to choose from. I was able to snag the last Honey Buzz cupcake and it was really good! I found it to be a really unique flavor. To be honest, I expected it to just taste like yellow cake but there is definitely something special about it. I'll definitely be back for more the next time I am in Boxyard RTP! read more

One of the best cupcakes I have ever had.. I ordered the Twinkie and Boyfriend ordered the Snickers. They were both so moist and delicious.. I debated going back to get a few more.. And, why not 5 stars? I am starting to get greedy with my 5 star reviews until I try the business more than once. Can't wait to try Buzzy Bakes again! read more

Went to their bakeshop at the boxyard. Was not impressed with what we got. The cupcakes were dry and dense, and had no flavor. The big cookies also had no flavor. I'm wondering if we got a bad batch, but these were displayed proudly in the windows. read more

Great variety of cupcakes, cookies super delicious and a very good and friendly service. I love the pastries.

We go to Buzzy Bakes each time we go to The BoxYard. Their Carrot Cake is so moist and yummy! They also have the best cookies! I have had their sugar cookie and their chocolate chip cookie. They were big enough to share,....but so good, I didn't! read more

This place was so cute. The cupcakes looked amazing (definitely trying next time.) I got the caramel Coffee milkshake can't remember the actual name, but it was so good! Service was really fast as well. read more

The two times I have been in the staff are just so wonderful and friendly! The chocolate chip cookies are to die for. They are freshly made quite frequently and they are the bomb.com. The only thing that would make them better is if they added some salt flakes to the top but I absolutely love them and will most likely stop in every time I'm in boxyard. read more

Carrie and Kristie were SO great to work with. My (now) husband and I went to our first wedding cake tasting at a well known bakery in Cary and knew a full on wedding cake just wouldn't be for us. We contacted Buzzy Bakes and were sold right after our tasting! Their bourbon pecan pie and bananas foster cupcakes were hits at our wedding. An important aspect to us was not only the desserts, but hot tea and coffee service. Their urns were so elegant and their hot tea (full leaf requested) was very popular throughout the evening with my family. I can't wait to try more of their dessert flavors at events in the area! read more

Went there yesterday after having a fantastic lunch at Bulkogi, and bought cupcakes, cookies and a Rice Krispie treat. The cupcakes were so dry and very disappointing for the price. They must not have been fresh! I also was given a pumpkin cupcake instead of the chocolate that I asked for - and I hate pumpkin! I have not tried the other items yet, so stay tuned! read more

From the moment I first tried their classic honey buzz cupcake, I knew I had to have them for my wedding. Their cupcakes are moist and perfectly sweet. I consider myself a baked good connoisseur, who does some baking myself, and these cupcakes are THE BEST. I'm not really a huge cupcake fan honestly, but if all cupcakes tasted like Buzzy Bakes, I'd be singing a different tune. My guests loved the cupcakes, and I got many compliments on them. In addition to having amazing tasting cupcakes, their customer service as well. Carrie was so friendly and personable. My only regret is that we left the topper cake in our hotel room fridge on accident. Not getting to finish that cake will haunt me til the end of my days. If you're going to have cupcakes for your event, buzzy bakes was great to work with and the cupcakes were second to none. read more

First time I tried their cupcakes was this past weekend. They were OK at best. The buttercream is really good, but the cupcake itself is dense and dry. Staff was generally nice, but -- I bought a small box and asked for a bag, and they forced the box into the bag, which then tore, but they brushed it off and said they don't put boxes in bags (huh?) and that it should be fine. Well, because of that, the bag completely tore open while I was carrying it around and the cupcakes fell to the floor and got destroyed. $15 wasted. Luckily I was able to eat one before that happened. read more

Wow! The best cupcakes and cookies (sugar and chocolate chip) I have ever eaten! I wish I could give them 6 stars! You must find them and eat them! read more

I used Buzzy Bakes for my wedding, and it was fantastic!!! They did an amazing job working with us and the set-up was so nice! I almost didn't get cupcakes, but I am so, so glad I did. They are easy to work with and also delivered to our venue. Use them!!!! read more

I used Buzzy Bakes for party desserts last weekend. Carrie was awesome. Although I only gave her a couple of days notice, and she said "no problem" and fit my order into her very busy weekend schedule. The mini cupcakes were great. They were moist, delicious and not overly sweet like so many party desserts. Fabulous little sweets and great customer service! I will definitely use Buzzy Bakes again. read more
