The Local Buzz - Columbia

I love everything about this place! The atmosphere is so warm and friendly, and everything I’ve had has been so good- which is often hard to say about gluten free options!

Not only are the coffee and pastries top-notch, I saw the owner actively work with autistic adults to teach them valuable job skills at her coffee shop while I was enjoying a tasty bagel off to the side today. I can tell that, for her, it's not about the money at all, it's about improving our little corner of the world.

I visited this quaint coffee shop this morning, to meet with several writers gathering there. To sum this place up, I'd say the accent is on welcome and acceptance, with some delicious treats mixed in for kicks! The blueberry cake-melt-in-your-mouth thing I had today was a treat, and paired well with a nicely sized cup of hot chocolate. I also enjoyed the double grilled cheese immensely! The Local Buzz has fantastic folks ready to make your visit fun and relaxing. There are lots of tables for Laptops and pads, and a big circular couch for quiet intriguing conversation. I'll be back to this little gem very soon!

Cutest coffee shop around! Everyone is so nice, the coffee is amazing as well as the food. Definitely would recommend again and again!
