I ordered the Thai iced coffee, but it should be called chai iced coffee. It was pre-made with and sugar already added, and they just poured it into a cup. There was nothing Thai about it - spice profile was chai spice and it was way too syrupy sweet! I was expecting standard Thai coffee that is available at Thai restaurants which do not have any spices added.
This is also in a basement with no seating, and doesn't seem to be wheelchair accessible.

Buzz is more than just a coffee shop. Yes, the cold brew was exceptional, and the breakfast sandwich was ungodly (I’m talking perfectly cooked eggs, sausage, AOILI, and Hawaiian roll people). However, the shop itself was such a sweet experience. The local artwork was stunning, and it was so uplifting to see local supporting local. There is also a corner of the shop dedicated to thrifted items, for sale. I got to meet the man behind the thrift, Hans, who was so personable and outgoing. The owner even came out to chat, while we enjoyed the flavor blast of a breakfast sammie and hangover curing coffee. 10/10 will be back again for more flavor and probably a vintage sweatshirt from the rack.
The coffee was over-steeped, making it the worst coffee I’ve ever purchased from a cafe. The place seemed unsanitary (a dog in the line before me jumped on the counter and nobody cleaned the surface after) and overall a complete BUst.
Coffee is good but space is easily crammed, and they happened to be out of milk and lids for cups. Probably a case of when it rains it pours but that was our experience. Staff was pleasant though.
finally got a chance to visit and this is definitely some of the best coffee in Portland! I love the atmosphere of the shop and they are very fast service.
The barista went out of her way to make me their Thai Iced Coffee. And I’m so grateful she did. It was excellent. Would definitely go back.
Adorable hole in the wall coffee shop. Loved my vanilla latte! The barista was very friendly, would definitely go back!
A quality space in downtown. Small space serving big things. Delicious coffee and excellent service. Highlighly recommend it.
