I’m writing this review on only the espresso. I ordered a double long espresso (week of 6/15/2022) and it tasted like motor oil- I did they same at Bard coffee. I have no idea why but neither place tasted normal or good. I don’t know if its the coffee they’re using, or perhaps the method in which they’re making it, but it did not taste good- which is hard to do. Perhaps they don’t cater or have coffee that caters to espresso drinkers? I don’t know but if you’re a coffee shop, this should be the easiest and first things you perfect how to make. I wish I had known. The third day I caved and went to Starbucks. I’m not a fan of Starbucks but at least the espresso tasted like espresso. Maybe there needs to be an espresso tasting class for these independent Portland coffee shops? Because I’ll tell you, I’d much rather give small businesses my business over a conglomerate like Starbucks - but the product has to be up to snuff- it just has to. Please taste your products, please taste test others. We need independent businesses, but we need them to stack up or taste better than the corporations.Edit- this was NOT yesterday- it was the week prior while on vacation…but that exact response from the ‘owner’ below (yikes!) is probably why this place does not make a good cup of espresso. Probably better to STAY AWAY. Have a nice day ?* Oh he changed his response ?- just FYI- the coffee in this shop is terrible and the owner is not at all nice. Really wished he kept up his initial response!
love visiting Portland and absolutely LOVE buzz coffee. Great customer service, super cute vibes and really great espresso. A must visit
I've stopped by Buzz Coffee a few times when I'm in the city and have enjoyed everything I've ordered! Delicious espresso based drinks and a great atmosphere.
i don’t remember to leave reviews of places very often but i had the best lavender latte i’ve ever tasted here! so good! great service too and very nice vibes inside the shop.:) thank you!
First time visiting Maine. Cool little spot and great coffee! Will definitely come back when we find ourselves back in Portland! Thank you!
Very welcoming space. The cold brew and other signature drinks that the owner comes up with each week are carefully crafted and amazing.
Coffee was amazing, very good flavor! Owner was extremely friendly and gave a lot of recommendations of what to do in the neighborhood. Would recommend the Cold Brew with Maple foam and the Honey Latte!Also the artwork in the coffee shop is cute and decently priced
Great coffee, friendly service and cool little underground space. Had a delicious cortado!
Amazing coffee to match the service and atmosphere. This is the place to go for coffee in Portland!
Excellent coffee shop. Great vibe, great location and most importantly superb, smooth coffee. My new favorite cold brew in Portland.
