The Buzz Bakery

The Buzz Bakery is a tasty and gluten friendly find. The Buzz is part of the Neighborhood Restaurant Group, and has locations in both Ballston and Alexandria. They offer completely homemade ingredients for everything in the shop, including all of their coffee drinks. I spoke with one of the chefs during my visit who explained that even the syrups used in the making of the coffee drinks were made freshly on premises. And all of us can rest assured ordering a coffee drink here, they are all happily guaranteed gluten free. She recommended the peppermint mocha, and I do have to say, Starbucks has nothing on this bakery's drinks. That was by far the best peppermint mocha I have ever had!

Besides coffee drinks, the Buzz has plenty of gluten free tasty treats to offer as well. The chef said they have at least 10 to 12 gluten free offerings a day. There are always gluten free cupcakes (chocolate and vanilla). They also have creme brulee, an AMAZING flourless chocolate ganache cake, macaroons and many other delicious treats. So if you are looking for a relaxing coffee shop where you can enjoy a tasty beverage and treat, check out The Buzz Bakery. You definitely will not be disappointed.
