    Bacon& egg bagel with iced tea and Cali Baja Wrap with an iced coffee (special of the day)
    Phyllis D.

    The Buzz Cafe has a really chill vibe and super helpful & friendly staff. The cafe is in an older building with exposed brick walls, solid wood floors, and a vintage tin tile ceiling. There's a decent amount of seating, but you can also get orders to go. There's lots of nearby street parking and the cafe is in easy walking distance to Kenosha's downtown shopping district. We really enjoyed our breakfast. A Bacon & Egg Bagel might sound pedestrian, but each ingredient was high quality. In other words, this isn't a boring breakfast sandwich at all. My fiancée ordered and loved the Cali Baja Wrap, which was lightly grilled and had a lovely crunch. We didn't try any of the marvelous looking baked goods because we were heading right to a nearby bookstore. Next time! The wine and beer selection is impressive and I'd love to come back later in the day for a beverage.

    I am disappointed I did not have the experience I expected here one morning. The addition of espresso did not work as suggested at the time of purchase in the seasonal Apple Cider drink. In my opinion the drink was unpleasant as it became too bitter. I absolutely love coffee and this was the first time I did not finish a drink. I am sure they would have been made another drink but I was skeptical to request it as the food I ordered came out burnt too. I would never serve a customer a burnt meal. What made it worse was the first bite of burnt bagel set the tone for my breakfast and the start of my day. I waited a while for the bagel but when requested to make it again I received it quickly. Not sure why it took a while for it to come out burnt initially when it came out right the second time and quicker. I personally would not recommend this cafe to others.

    I will say I enjoy this coffee shop as a great place to get some work done. There is plenty of seating and different seating types as well. The barista was great and quick as I ordered a smoothie followed by some coffee. The protein banana smoothie was great as it gave me some much needed energy. I also think it is fairly priced. I will also say that I enjoyed their French toast latte as a specialty coffee and both were prepared quickly and with care. I highly recommend this place as a spot to check out if ever in Kenosha. They also serve alcohol and are open late which is nice.

    Indulgent coffees and delicious food keeps bringing us back to this cozy, rustic eatery. Sandwiches are so fresh and tasty. Always consistent, pleasant service.

    This is probably my fourth visit to The Buzz Cafe, so clearly I enjoy it. I'm from out of state and learned about this spot from family and I'm glad I did. The last two visits, I've gotten some bakery items along with some mid-day caffeine recharge. The s'mores tart was my absolute FAVORITE. It had the perfect amount of graham cracker crust, chocolate, and tall amount of marshmallow. Complete YUMMMMM-OOOOO!!! I felt like I was around a camp fire and selfishly sad I had to share this s'mores tart (shhh!). Truthfully, probably one of the best s'mores related items 've ever had in my life. If there were more available to buy, I would have bought them. I was in town on Sunday and stopped in to get one and had no luck-- I was SO sad. The key lime pie bar was tasty as well. Graham cracker crust was thick and key lime was nice and tart. The cookies were not my favorite. Tasted overdone. The different coffee I've ordered various times has been good. I feel like service is fine. Nothing wrong, but nothing more than the regular. The Buzz is right in downtown Kenosha in a nice brick building. There are tables and bar area to sit at. Menu is fairly large with food and drink options.

    Interior, exposed brick, furnished nicely and has outside sidewalk seating too.

    Coffee is great - the bagel sandwich would be a lot better without the avocado aioli that is way too potent and strong. Also to note, they smash it in a panini press so the bagel is crusty and hard. I'd prefer a softer bagel. Parking is ok, but limited to the street and you may need to walk a couple blocks. Cafe is a little dark but furnished well, has table games etc which is a nice touch. The baristas know how to make excellent coffee drinks, and that's really the star of the show. I had a cold brew and I highly recommend this!

    When the barista knows what a cortado is, it's going to be good. Served in a short glass, it's half espresso and half steamed (not foamed) milk. All the caffeine of a latte and a ton less calories and such. It's my favorite. This morning's cortado was that. A great coffee and served properly, I enjoyed it as "first coffee" and followed up with a drip coffee later. Yes, I was here at The Buzz for about three hours as my morning office. Emails, Zoom calls all worked well on their wifi in a comfortable place. [Review 20645 overall - 218 in Wisconsin - 1626 of 2023.]

    mushroom leek soup
    Adriana L.

    The ambiance was alright and the staff was friendly, but I will not be returning here. For our drinks we ordered a hot americano and almond cookie latte. They both lacked a good coffee flavor and flavor in general, and the latte had so much cold whipped cream it cooled down the whole drink. We also ordered food- the stroganoff stacker and a side of mushroom leek soup. Again the items lacked flavor, the sandwich meat tasted of cat pate food while the soup was overly salty. These items tasted like they were heated right from frozen. I wish I had something more positive to say, but overall experience and quality was lacking.

    We stopped by while visiting Kenosha to kill some time between plans. We ordered a nutella latte and cookies and cream latte, both iced, and they were fantastic! Didn't take long at all. We appreciated the self-serve water station and it was a nice looking space. There was some outdoor seating available on the sidewalk, so we got to enjoy our coffees and the lovely weather that day.

    One of the best wraps I've had. Would definitely like to try other items on their menu as they add some interesting salads and wraps.

We made a reservation beforehand and we were glad we did, as all the tables were filled when we arrived and the kitchen closed at 8:30pm. The ambiance was very bar- like... they did a nice job making it look upper -scale but it was still very bar-y. We sat at a booth and felt it was very comfortable to enjoy a nice meal. We started with a couple fancy drinks- chocolate cherry martini was good! We shared Bacon Wrapped Dates (yum) and then we shared 2 entrees- the macadamia nut halibut and the pork tenderloin. Both were delicious and very well prepared & presented. Overall, we had a very nice meal, it was a little pricey but I'm sure their food costs have increased, like everything else, and you could tell their ingredients were quality. Street parking was free, which was great and convenient. If you're looking for a nice meal in the area, give Wine Knot a try! Enjoy!

There are tables and seating towards the front of the store and an event space upstairs. They have large coolers filled with individual bottles of beer, wine and other beverages. I was impressed by the variety I believe Uncorkt has something for everyone to indulge in. They also have a nice selection of snacks. I was a little underwhelmed with the customer service. There were two employees working and a couple of customers enjoying a bottle of wine when we arrived. None of the staff made eye contact with us or said hello. We browsed around a bit and when I picked a beverage I took it to the counter to ask about their process....do we pay then find a seat, do we start a tab, etc. The person that I spoke with informed me I had to pay for my beverage, and was very short with me when I asked clarification questions - I couldn't get a smile or laugh out of her. I'm sure masks make it hard to understand each other, but the whole interaction felt awkward and not very welcoming. Later a local family that this employee knew came in, and she was very nice warm to them, so I guess she just didn't want to warm up to me. My husband said the other employee was helpful & friendly. We enjoyed sitting by the window and watching the activity along the street while enjoying out beverages, and I would return.

Of course when you come to Wisconsin you are going to want to find some cheese. Why wouldn't you pick a place that is shaped like a castle? This place does a great job of having it all... above and beyond cheese!

I've been here many times because it's a great place to pull over and take a break and shop for some cool foods while on my way home from a trip to Illinois or other places south of me. Pro tip: find the bakery products in the frozen section from the Elegant Farmer, everything they make is great.

    Wow - Mars Cheese Castle's Irish Reuben is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had!…read more I've been coming to Mars Cheese Castle for years, and it never disappoints. But yesterday was the first time I ever ordered the Irish Reuben. My wife and I were trying to decide what to have, when Louis (our favorite bartender) gave us the details on the Irish Reuben. This is not a traditional Reuben (there is no Sauerkraut or Thousand Island Dressing). The Corned Beef is baked in brown sugar consommé, Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey, and Guinness Stout. It is served with Guinness Braised Cabbage, Caramelized Onions, and Swiss Cheese. It is incredible. This is on my Mt. Rushmore of sandwiches. It is that good. It is a seasonal sandwich that is only available around St. Paddy's Day...so get it while you can. Thanks Louis!

We had the turkey club and the smash burger for our lunches. The turkey club was big, plenty of food for one person. The flavors melded together and when paired with a fruit cup it was amazing. The smash burger was well seasoned, cooked well, and picture perfect. Seriously, usually when you get these things you get sad, wilty lettuce and a small slice of tomato. Not here, the lettuce was vibrant and you could see and taste the tomato. The server we had was super attentive, the food was out surprisingly quickly, and the ambience was perfect for a Sunday afternoon lunch. The price was my favorite part, totally affordable for anyone. Two meals and two drinks less than $40 is a win for me. All in, a solid stop and we will be back. The only reason I didn't give them a fifth star is because even though they have a great selection of items, I didn't see a ton that I personally wanted. They didn't do anything wrong at all.
