I'll start by saying I've only visited The Buzz Mill at night, during the Austin witches market. This review is based on those experiences. Ambience: Tucked away off Riverside near Dairy Queen, you'll find Buzz Mill. The interior offers limited seating and restrooms. The stars of the show are the amazing coffee bar and house infused liquors. They also offer a rotating selection of beers. The service: When I visited the lines were super long, but moved quick. Service was fine, though the wait for my chai was crazy. I ended having to remind the barista of my order, there were a ton of drinks made that came in after I did. The goods: Again, I went for the witches night market. Both visits were great. It's held in the outdoor space on site. There were tons of vendors offering everything from self care products to readings. There were multiple food trucks on site, though only one or two were open. I opted for the hibachi truck, I'd give it 2.5/5 stars. The wait was almost 45 minutes for my shrimp and chicken meal and it wasn't worth the $25 price tag. The vendors were excellent. I left with handmade soaps, candles, jewelry and crystals. Looking forward to the next event there. read more

What a great recipe to welcome Spring, March 20, 2021 at the Buzz Mill, clear blue skies with temps in the mid-70's and a lite afternoon snack from JNL BBQ. The Buzz Mill has a laid back vibe that reminds me of the San Francisco Bay Area especially Berkeley. It's very pet friendly with a water-station for one's pet. Now that you know that The Buzz Mill is Pet Friendly, it's also Human Friendly. Not only is it a 24/7 coffee shop but refreshments with authority, craft beers, whiskey infusions, and other alcoholic delights are offered as well. My favourite food truck at The Buzz Mill is JNL BBQ so I ordered the two meat plate, Al Pastor Pork Spareribs and Moist Beef Brisket with Mom's Green Beans and Potato Salad for sides and paired it with a JNL Smoked Peach Whiskey Infusion. I am looking forward to hanging out at the Buzz Mill again for some great BBQ and trying some of their thirst quenching Elixirs. read more

Wish it wasn't just a storefront but they have great coffee and it's very cheap compared to other shops. A large iced lavender honey latte put me back $7 I think, where that is about $9/10 at other places like the hive/genuine joes/unicornery bakery etc. read more

Great coffee and the team that works here is absolutely amazing!!! They recommend drinks to us and since we were visiting, also recommended places for us to go around Austin. read more

If you like bloody Mary's, try one here! It's not on the menu so I'm not sure if our bartender was just really good BUT he made us fantastic Bloody Mary's with pickle vodka on a Saturday afternoon. There were simply garnished with a salt rim, a lime, and a lemon. It was savory and fresh! I would definitely come here again to try their coffee and more drinks. They also allow dogs here which is always a plus in my book!! read more

Cool place. Good coffee. I really like the interior here, I feel like I'm camping, kinda. I mean, If I were camping in a coffee shop, in Austin, with a stuffed bear. I digress. Back to the coffee, I got the apple caramel, 1/2 sweet. It's smooth and delicious. Recommend. read more

This place is fantastic. Some of the best cold brew in the city and their matcha latte is great. I have consistently had a great experience here -- good drinks, amazing service, and a great ambiance. They have a super cool outdoor space with LOTS of seating! And some food trucks on site too. This is a laid back, no frills spot with solid drinks. Highly recommend! read more

I always pegged this place for a late night hole in the walk but an associate wanted to have a morning meeting there which I thought was odd till I got there. Turns out a lot of people come here to just work during the day and it's really nice with the food trucks right there. I can't even remember what was in this coffee but I know it made me believe in joy again. read more

Recently visited Austin and stumbled across this great spot. This coffee shop was AMAZING! I got the honey badger latte and it was one of the best lattes I've had in a long time! The staff was great and for an added pick me up they even have so many different types of flavor included liquor. There is ample seating out back and the vibes were just perfect. I would have went back everyday on my trip if I could' read more

So my boyfriend and I have come here for coffee a few times, and it's 10/10. My body is like 80% caffeine, so I'm all about that red-eye life. You know when you down a black red-eye like it's the fru fru caramel apple butter latte your bf ordered... that's some good coffee. But also the latte is delightful and you should get that too. When we came in Friday morning, I noticed the many jars of infused liquors and was intrigued. I was seeing many whiskey//tequila options, which I'm into. So we went back later that evening to check out the patio and taste these concoctions. I went for the cherry vanilla whiskey and it was a 5/10 for me (ooofa strong stuff), but think it would be great in a diet cherry coke. My boyfriend went for a sour on draught which he rated 7/10. Tl;dr great for coffee, very nice patio space. Stick to the beer unless you're built for the strong stuff OR give your AM coffee a boost? Maybe? read more

I don't know why I waited so long to write this review, but this place it so amazing, that, when I was there, I had an extensive conversation with the owner trying to convince him that he needs to open another one on the east coast just for me. Between the live music and the fire pit and the the amazing coffee and the custom cocktails with their own infused spirits... plus, you know, a BBQ food truck, how can you not think this is the best place on earth? If I lived in Austin, I would definitely be a regular at The Buzz Mill. read more

Went to the buzz mill today to eat some food and this place is pretty cute. This place has lots of food trucks where you can choose some food. There's also lots of live music and drinks you can have for a chill night out. This place has a couple food trucks - and the ones I saw tonught were all vegan. Ended up seeing vegan Mexican food and a vegan Asian food place which both looked good. I ended up going with the vegan burger one which hit the spot - called plow burger. Ended up getting the campfire burger which was bbq styled and cheese fries. Really enjoyed the meal and wouldn't it this place a shot again! read more

I attended a happy hour meeting here, and while there, an artisan market was set up on the back patio. Very nice goods. Also, it was nice to have a few food trucks in the complex. From what I could tell, this is a popular venue. Crowded when I was there! I would only say perhaps more shade over the back patio tables would be helpful. read more

Great atmosphere and staff. I am not very eloquent in the mornings before my coffee and the staff was excellent deciphering what I was requesting and offering the best suggestions. read more

We love The Buzz Mill!!! Their lattes are DELICIOUS. Our favorites are the iced honey badger (honey, vanilla, cinnamon) and the iced caramel apple butter. They have a large outdoor patio area that is dog friendly and has several food trucks with many vegan options (and non vegan). The inside is a cabiny vibe that we really liked. This is a great spot to grab a quick latte or to hang out with friends or catch live music at night! read more

Came here to get a drink to go with our lil nonna's pizza. SUPER CUTE environment. Has lots of character. Lots of ourdoor seating and some indoor seating. Lots of specialty cocktails, coffee and other things. I wish they had more specialized mocktails (I'm pregnant so couldn't drink alcohol). Otherwise I'd say this is worth visiting! read more

We like the buzz mill. And attend the witches market when its there. The negatives are the bar tender we usually encounter is rude. (Really really rude) And my neice and several friends came to the market and had their vehicles towed by the vultures at j.j towing. We asked the manager about it and he said they tow people all the time. I know the buzz mill is not responsible for vehicles being towed by neighboring businesses but they are very aware of it. It would be extremely easy for them to post a sign warning customers that the assholes at DQ will tow them. I cant get anyone to come with me for fear of being charged $230.00. A simple sign... "Do not park anywhere near DQ. You will be towed by soulless car theives." read more

I told the homie behind the bar the beer here is great, but always slightly warm. it only took about 8 times coming here to realize the problem. Bartender gave me a sample of the beer and the shot glass was warm. Buzz Mill must keep their glasses next to some heater or energy unit that be making their glasses warm and thus my beer warm. I just tried to tell the bartender what was going on and he didnt care so here we are. please fix and ill give yall 5 stars :) read more

It took me forever to finally go to Buzz Mill and I feel like an idiot for waiting so long. I walked in the front door and immediately felt home. I'd just woke up from a mid-day nap so I scored a delicious cold brew ( I was hoping they had nitro cold brew but they didn't. I was a but upset inside but the plain old cold brew they served me was to so damn tasty that I soon forgot I wanted anything else. Once the coffee was drinking I had a few whiskeys and met some nice folks. All of the patrons were friendly and everyone there seemed to be having the best time ever. The Buzz Mill has and air of contagious fun that radiates throughout the location. I could see myself stooping by every day for coffee and whiskey. Great job Buzz Mill in a city with so man places that do what you do you guys do it better than most! read more

This place is the shiznit! The bomb of all bombs! The chillest of the chill, and the coolest of the cool in all of coolsville! Great venue for music, drinks, laughs, and an occasional cry (though not often because it's too friggin' awesome!). Do yourself a favor, if you've never been then go and have a nice time. If you've not been by in awhile then go back, you'll be glad you did. All sorts of beers, all sorts of foods Wwith LOTS and LOTS of VEGAN options or SOLELY VEGAN choices (Oh. Yes.)! Pick up one of their swanky ass t-shirts while you're there, designed by the artist that painted up the place itself (which is great art by the way). Tell them I sent you. (Which won't do diddly squat for you but it will be funny to make them say "who the hell is that?".) read more

Please be advised, the plowburger food truck that lists vegetarian items fries everything in the same oil as the meat. It is not vegetarian. This seems like really bad business to me. If I hadn't asked my child and I would have eaten the food listed as vegetarian and gotten really sick from it. Super not happy that we had been put at risk like that. Come on guys, that is extremely negligent. read more

Easily S tier bar in austin. (S is the highest tier). Great variety of beers on tap. Also cool cocktails. Also coffee and expresso if you want. The atmosphere is also great if you want a chill sit down place. The atmosphere is picnic table chic. So many bars have this vibe. What's impressive is that buzzmill does it best in my opinion. Especially since spider house has been closed. They have the Christmas lights but they're not overwhelming just festive. The music is always good too. Pretty mellow I like their selection of beers. Definitely not the Austin starter pack. But they have some fan favorites. I like the food trucks 3 options. They're all vegan but if you're into that you'll find tons f variety. The variety honestly better than the vegan food parks on ceasar and on airport. They have burgers, burritos, and dim sum. They're all good. They also have cool events stand up on Tuesdays and outdoor classes on Thursday. Really fun vibes. The most exciting was a stick carving class. The people watching is an underrated aspect of this bar. People from all walks of life seem to come here. The unifying feature is they all have dogs! read more

Chill vibes, infused liquors, comedy shows all the time. I miss the plow burger food truck though.

I miss dining at this venue after moving back home to Austin; best brunch/breakfast, ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nicest staff, clean venue and easy going vibe. We LOVE LOVE LOVED their breakfast; especially the bloody mary's! Can't wait to go back! read more

The Buzz Mill - Best Breakfast in town! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've been coming to Buzzmill for almost 3 years to study, get some coffee, and now get some drinks. I went in on Sunday with a friend and ended up running into some other friends there. The initial friend and I started a tab together and drank as the night went on. We thought we were having a good time as the staff was friendly. Until we went to go pay our tab. We were overcharged and as you can see overserved. The friend and I were still cognitive enough to function and pay our tab. The bartenders gained an attitude as we tried to pay. The card declined but it still took all I had from my account so I then transferred money to pay it off, but it wanted the total balance again. I finished paying and left, thinking nothing of it. Until again, one of the friends we ran into told us why they started acting that way. We ran up the biggest bar tab they had seen (that's what happens when you overcharge inebriated people) & that we tried leaving without paying our tab. Also, that the bartender(s) were complaining about making us complicated drinks even though the most complicated drink i ordered was a Bloody Mary Bear Mace infusion (which the bartender recommended). They didn't have certain items for shots we wanted, so we just ended up getting regular shots (vodka, jameson). Overall, this visit ended up being a mess and really could've ended up in alcohol poisoning or much worse. I got overcharged and now instead of buzz being the first place I want to go for a chill night, it won't be on my list again. A fkn shame bc I loved this place and their atmosphere. read more

Dropped by here for the first time a year ago for a quick pick-me-up cold brew. This place does a strong cold brew, had me going for awhile. Come to find out that I would eventually move within walking distance of this place a year later. Dropped in on a Sat night and they had live music playing. I like that this place offers everything a nice coffee shop has, a fairly decent beer and holiday drink menu. This could soon become one of my fav places for a little coffee break or a couple brews to wind down! Definitely a place worthwhile to check out, very unique in its own market! read more

Visiting Austin for the weekend with friends for work. Enjoying the outside scenery and vibe of this rustic beauty. I'm a huge whiskey fan and wholeheartedly recommend the vanilla cherry whiskey. Outside they have plenty of food options. Cheesesteaks, pizza, French fries, and vegan snacks. Highly recommend. read more

Okay Campers! Grab Your Lattes and Ginger Infused Whiskeys and Let's Tie Knots! * * * The Buzz Mill is an odd establishment if there ever was one. It is a coffee house/bar/entertainment palace/fraternal lodge/all year summer camp. From a Yelp food reviewing standpoint, the coffee is excellent. The bar has about eighteen Russian-House-style big jars of infused whiskey/infused gin/infused tequila/infused whatever. These big jars of infused goodness drew my attention immediately - but I was there at ten in the morning. Everyone was working hard on their computers, the way all good campers should be. So those lovely jars will have to wait for another occasion. But the espresso is one of the better espressos in Austin. * * * The food review covers maybe 5% of what Buzz Mill is all about. The Buzz Mill wants to be the neighborhood community center for all of the neighborhoods within two miles of the establishment. They have an aerial map with a circle drawn on it to show you exactly which neighborhoods they mean. Now frankly, ladies and gentlemen, there are a lot of neighborhood bars in Austin - and many of them serve quite nicely as "centers of their community." Little Woodrow's does that for North Lo-Burn. B.B. Rovers does that for Barrington Oaks. Boomerz does that for Oak Hill. What makes Buzz Mill distinctive is a) how explicitly over the top they are about this theme b) the fact that they are more or less going after Austin weirdies and c) the dominant summer camp theme. The bar itself is decorated in a log cabin summer camp theme. They offer "The Lumber Society" With Four Troops - Owl, Raccoon, Mallard and Beaver Each with its own distinctive handshake and each with its own distinctive activities. You work on merit badges. You go camping. You take workshops in topics like fire building and archery. I have never been big about combining craft beer with archery - But apparently they have the safety issues all worked out. (At a minimum, many members of your troop have their first aid badges.) The Lumber Society sort of satisfies a need that in an earlier generation was covered by the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, or the Freemasons, or the Knights of Columbus. Except the members of the Lumber Society don't look like your grandparents and they let in both sexes. Both of these are improvements. I would rather be tossed into a pot of molten lava than go camping - and I have too many places to Yelp review to want to come back to the same bar all the time. But I can see how for some people this would be amazingly cool. The espresso is good and the whiskey looks good - So you may want to check out the Buzz Mill just for the experience. read more

If you are looking for a low key, super fun, friendly neighborhood coffee shop to meet up with friends or get some work done between 2 meetings, look no further, the Buzz Mill is for you! The Flap jack coffee & veggie burger made my day, and their signature cider was also really good. I recommend sitting in the back room if you need a quieter space to work, or sit outside if hanging out with friends! The staff is very friendly and will give you awesome recommendations to fit your taste. Looks like they have live music as well, so I'll be back to check that out! read more
