When you want coffee in Alexandria, VA

The family and I had a good experience at "Buzz" (901 Slaters Lane). My egg nog latte was a little bit funky, but egg nog lattes in general are a little bit funky.

All of us were impressed with the customer service from counter man Patrick (no relation), who told Jane that she could trade her German chocolate for a creme brulee if she wanted to (she did). Patrick was also patient while we made up our minds on the order, because, he said, "there's no rushing at Buzz." Several pastries there are gluten-free.

The decor is inviting, the bakery case better than most, and the service top-notch. Looks like they have wine in the evenings, too, though we weren't there late enough to try that.
