SOLIDDDD. ooey gooey yummy gouda cheese, classic sausage flavor and im not sure what bread this is but toasted to perfection and didn't cut up the roof of my mouth (like most sandwiches do). YUMd: - caramel latte w. coconut milk. decent latte. now that I've become a regular coffee drinker, I've come to realize I like a lighter and less decadent coffee bean, not so dark and bitter, so I was pleased with the flavor of theirs. I've been switching from my regular oat milk to coconut milk recently and think I like oat better, so I'll have to come back to try it with oat. coconut milk can sometimes make the drink taste watered down to me. service, etc.: the baristas were friendly and sweet. full house on a Sunday afternoon and everyone was grinding out, which was perfect because sometimes I get overstimulated working in loud cafe's. grind cafe's are my fav. minus a star for seat comfort and finicky outlets but that's literally the only "issue"

Our server, Jamie, was super friendly and attentive, as was the host. Great service all-around, and definitely a staff trained to provide family-friendly service. My date said that the coffee was good but that the Honey Lavender latte was very flavor-forward. The food was heavenly ; we got the Farm Boy and the Blueberry Cream Pancakes. The Breakfast Club isn't a place that relies on its branding to do all the heavy lifting. Highly recommend, whether you're looking for an adult brunch or family outing!

The Buzz is a great place to stop by for waffles and more!…read more I first discovered this cafe through a vegan friend - The Buzz has a secondary vegan waffle menu that is full of tasty options, and not limited like many breakfast places are! I have been back numerous times to try their vast menu of waffle choices and coffee. The small cafe is always bustling with visitors on the weekend - if you are looking to dine in, arrive early or be prepared to wait for a seat. I highly recommend for anyone to check out! I have never been disappointed by the quality of food and service. They even have punch cards for frequent visitors!

I tried both coffee and waffles the most recent time I came and both were tasty. I will say though their waffle menu is quite extensive - dare I say a bit overwhelming.

It was a nice change to our normal spot, and I think will make our rotation when we have time to wait.

They say to take a seat outside (where they have several benches and your name will be called on the loud speaker. They were spot on with the time and did announce that our table was ready. The menu consists of breakfast and lunch. There are a great number of choices. Although they have markings to indicate that dishes are gluten free or vegetarian, beware. When offering drinks, I asked about the kind of teas they had. Too bad they don't even have an herbal tea on the list. I ordered the thick bacon and eggs. The bacon was really good. The eggs were perfect. However, I asked about replacing the potatoes with the fruit. Because of allergies, I asked what kind of fruit they serve. I expected a surcharge to change to fruit. I was not told that there would be an extra surcharge to leave out my allergy fruit and go with only one kind. This was bad on the part of the server. They only had two choices of bread and no choice of gluten free bread. That severely limits the choices of someone sensitive to gluten. My husband ordered the Harvest Scramble. Luckily, they were able to leave out the green peppers. Interesting that so many dishes had green peppers in them. He enjoyed the eggs, but ordered the fruit, instead of potatoes. He said he would like the fruit mixture which had melons, pineapple and one blackberry. He ordered the wheat toast which he said was not memorable. All in all, we enjoyed the experience with a number of flaws. They need to tighten up their menu and make sure that people with special nutritional needs are attended to carefully.

We ordered lefsa, pancakes, potato pancakes, all the toppings, eggs, bacon, etc. If you had seen what we ordered you would have thought more people were joining us- but nope, just the two of us. We also ordered a plate of the Swedish meatballs and mashed potatoes- we ordered the sauce separate but it came on top. Honestly, I think I would pass on these but they were super filling! I cannot wait to come back here and a cold day was the perfect day to try all of the sweets. We did stick around and look around the store- if gave slightly cheaper than Lunds vibes. We purchased some sparkling water and off we went.

She grabbed everything at table and took it and zero questions. Wouldn't that be a clue if most of the meal was on the plate to ask. I will not be back! Bonus I got to listen the the manager firmly displining a younger gentleman about a black stapler. Is this office space, crazy horrible.

Had a sister's brunch today and the celebrant sister chose Hope Breakfast Bar. Another sister and I were like darn, it was the choice lowest on the list for both of us. But on our drive there, we decided we'd both try something that we typically wouldn't try to see if it changed our views. I tried the breakfast sandwich. It was decent, not anything I'd ever crave. The bacon overpowered everything else, even the everything bagel! She did the egg farm grazer which was vegetables and quinoa topped with an egg. She said it was fine as well. Both of our meals were on par with previous experiences. Our two other sisters chose some sort of waffle. One was the hope waffle which was good, standard waffle with fruit. The other was chicken and waffles, the taste is decent but the portion was surprisingly large! 4 pieces of chicken with the waffle! As we finished with our meals, I was happy that we weren't disappointed with our food, so that was a win! But they watch your time so carefully. The moment we were sitting for 90 mins on the dot, they asked us to go. So if you're looking for a place to catch up with someone, don't let it be here!
