Cute coffee shop serving pastries and Indian fusion food! The ambiance is cozy, they have tasty coffee (Atomic Coffee Roasters), and the owner is a very sweet and kind lady. We ordered coffee and the buzzin bean special buns to go. The buns were delicious, and she even gave us extra butter to go. We have to come back to try their lunch menu!
Such cozy atmosphere… Im have to finally had the opportunity to stop by for some coffee and a pastry… ended up having masala chai with some Parle-G cookies. What a great little shop to have in the neighborhood! I am very happy and will come back more often to taste the rest of the menu!
I AM OBSESSED! ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED!!!! I've been to this place 4 times already this month and my credit card is crying but the fooooood oh my good lord!!! The host is so sweet and friendly, the coffee made me feel like I need 5 more gallons because it's so tasty, the food is absolutely delicious and filling. It's soul food. I'm sick of other cafes giving salads for vegan options - this cafe is a heaven for vegetarians. I could write a 10 page essay on why I love this cafe!! I want to get my next apartment in front of this cafe. I love you buzzin bean.
Wonderful new locally owned cafe!! So awesome that they’re open late also. It’s such a sweet vibe in there, and the owner is SO nice. They had a local person do the art on the wall, and though it’s not big, it feels light and spacious.
Editing to add that I went back today and there was a THIRD vegan pastry option! This was a round bun with a savory filling that was delicious. Both pastries with filling were $5 each. My second time trying this spot and was excited to learn that they now offer two vegan pastry options. They are both savory pastries. One of them (I think the puff pastry) has a savory filling and it was SO GOOD. 10/10 would recommend.
Everyone NEEDS to try their Java Chip frappe 😭 the best drink in the world, the most delicious ever. Lowkey better than Starbucks frappuccinos ngl. I’m actually addicted to this drink and have been getting frappes here almost every day recently, the people working there already remember me, which honestly makes me so happy every time I walk in 🥹 everyone is super super sweet and the vibes are just so warm. Nothing feels better than getting their Java chip frappes during summer. 100000000/10.
Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon because my husband loves a Bombay sandwich and it was 11/10 we can’t wait to come back! Can’t wait to try the biscoff latte, the pav bhaji special was superb and my husband was very happy with his sandwich. My Ice coffee was great and they were very lovely to give our dog a pup cup as they saw her waiting outside, we’ll be back!!
Passed by this spot many times but I finally decided to try it out on a whim, and I was pleasantly surprised by the food! I thought was just your typical coffee shop, but it’s much more than that and with an Indian twist! It has your coffee and specialty lattes, but I ordered a mango lassi and Masala Dosai, and both were very good. I liked how authentic the lassi tasted, and the dosai was very crispy with the sauces being on point. Would recommend this place if you are looking for a quick bite or a quiet place to chill and study.
Lovely new lunch and coffee spot! The menu is completely vegetarian, which excited us as we are vegetarian. Not a huge menu but everything we had was great. Kind of like fusion between Indian and French cafe food. Clean modern decor with a gorgeous fancy ceiling, super friendly and helpful staff. Will be back!
Very cute & cozy cafe. I had the mango Lassi & veg puff, and they were both delicious. Also tried the Chilli Parotta, and it was so good! They routinely have special South Indian combo meals, and the food is so traditional & homely. Love the interior design, especially on the ceiling. It blends culture into a unique cafe experience.
