Buzz Cafe in Vale of White Horse

We like to go to independent cafes and were visiting Wantage today. Lovely friendly service, generous portions with wide selection of food to suit all tastes. I had the cheese ploughman's which consisted of 4 pieces of cheddar, mixed leaves, red pepper, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, homemade chunky coleslaw, pickled onions, pickle, baguette with butter. My husband had chicken and bacon jacket potato with salad. both dishes very generous and very reasonable total £16 with drinks.

A trip out to pick something up in the area, we came across this lovely cafe on Sunday , although very busy service was excellent and great breakfast. Will return when next in the area

My family and I, popped into the Buzz Cafe in Wantage for a pick-me-up, after driving 2.5hrs from the South Coast for a family funeral. We were served by a lovely, bubbly lady (Forces) who made us feel very welcome considering the day. Lovely food, lovely atmosphere, and the lady even made a donation to the Royal British Legion, a charity that was close to our family members heart. She wished it could have been more, but the gesture itself was beautiful, and so heartfelt. Thankyou for your warmth and generosity. The Hickman's.

Amazing welcome, wonderful service, fabulous homemade food - 6*! Dogs were also treated to a plate of sausages, which they adored! Thank you!

Popped into this little cafe for the first time today, and it definitely won’t be our last visit! Really inclusive menu, lovely friendly staff, and a great selection of ‘on-site baked’ cakes available. Dog friendly too. Well worth a visit 😊

Visited the Buzz Cafe at Wantage today. Nice cosy cafe. Felt immediately welcome, friendly staff. Love the idea of it being dog friendly. Had a Buzz breakfast. Full plate with toast and tea. Have to say that did me till tea time. Been to many cafes, and the Buzz well worth a look.

Got to be by far the best cafe in Wantage! Called in for breakfast twice in the past couple of weeks! Full English (and I mean full!) was superb! Clean, friendly and looks like the choice throughout the day is fantastic and reasonably priced! If you’re in Wantage get there for a treat!!

Walk a couple of minutes from the Market Place, and you come to this lovely little café. The staff are welcoming, and there is a good range of vegan food (both sweet and savoury), as well as plenty for meat eaters. I thoroughly enjoyed the ‘pulled pork’ (jackfruit) fab, which was served with salad and with vegan cheese and vegan mayonnaise also on offer. I was also invited to try one of the jackfruit ‘sausage‘ rolls - far tastier than the Greggs version! And all extremely good value. I will definitely visit again.

Best breakfast in Wantage. Would highly recommend. Dog friendly as well. They'll even put a picture up of your hound in the wall.

From the moment we arrived we were made very welcome. Before we had sat down somebody had come over & offered Cosmo (our Schichon) a nice sausage. The staff are very attentive, the food is great quality & it's always nice to support local businesses.

Visited the Buzz Cafe in Wantage today with some friends. We all agreed it was a welcome change to the industrial, robotic experience we’re normally used to at the supermarket based eateries. Warm, friendly atmosphere, great food & the best hot chocolate in the county. Love the fact dogs are welcome. Has now become our cafe of choice. Give it a go.

Haven't been before. The exterior isn't appealing (to me) and implies (to me) that it's a very basic cafe. Therefore I have always walked past thinking it was other than it actually is. But now I've been in it is very good and much 'smarter' than the outside would suggest. So I should not judge a book by it's cover !! Good staff, very friendly & efficient. Not the surly youngsters you sometimes find elsewhere. Good breakfast - good selection - reasonable prices and so good value. Impressed.

We always go to Buzz for breakfast best in Wantage, dog friendly and child friendly. Well priced....

A lovely café – great atmosphere and professional yet friendly staff. We had the spicy roasted vegetable soup – the staff were eager to know our opinion – whether it was too spicy, but it was perfect.

Called by chance and received friendly welcome from staff. Really was a cleanly presented cafe with tables being cleared and cleaned swiftly. Our Guinness cake and a Blondie were lovely.

We visited The Buzz cafe because they offer vegan options and I was really impressed with how thorough the staff were about letting us know the butter and cream etc were vegan without me having to ask, which I really appreciate. There were a lot of plant based milk options available for milkshakes and the vegan breakfast itself was really tasty- it felt like a proper meal rather than just a standard English breakfast minus the meat and eggs, which is the only vegan option at some other cafes. We'll definitely return to try their other options!

Решили пообедать в небольшом городке и выбрали это кафе. Очень хотелось супа. Здесь он отличный и предлагается с сендвичем. Также взяли тёплый салат-все свежее и вкусноеНа десерт соблазнились брауни и домашним тортом с чаем с молоком. Все очень вкусно и недорого !рекомендуем!

Buzz Cafe is a wonderful experience. Food is quality home made and always delicious. The staff are always smiling and service is prompt.

Just had a breakfast at buzz cafe, the eggs were snotty on top, the sausages were pale and barely warm, the tomatoes where hard £11 is a bit of a joke when half of it was inedible. Won’t ever be going back.!!!

We first went to Buzz when it had just opened some years ago and it was like greeting an old friend when we finally had the opportunity to return to Wantage yesterday.

Cafe Buzz was our planned stop half way round a 5 mile circular walk and we could not have chosen better. The welcome for us and the dog was very warm and genuine and there is a huge selection of menu choices. We tried various sandwiches, salads and crepes and everyone was very well pleased... servings are generous and prices are an absolute bargain. This is a place with real heart and soul and I would highly recommend it.

Very clean and bright cafe, staff were very helpful. Food was cooked to order, the breakfast was brilliant.

Visited on a Saturday morning, place not too busy, staff were friendly and welcoming. I ordered the Buzz Breakfast which was freshly cooked to order and was very good. Will come back to try the crepes

Visited on route back from little girls football. They are forces friendly dog friendly and the food is five star

What a fabulous little cafe! We found Buzz some time ago after being disappointed with other chain cafes close by.

We use this place regularly. Mostly because our dog gets first class service. Food is great. Dogs get a sausage and the owner is so friendly. Prices are very reasobable and lots of choice but i have to say her sausage bites are so tasty and best hot chocolate ive tasted.

I had a vegan hot chocolate with vegan whipped cream and vegan marshmallows! for food I asked the lady and she cooked for me a lovely pulledpork of jackfruit... just great. she said she is getting to do some vegan cakes.. i cant wait!!

Came for a spontaneous breakfast due to good reviews but can't say we were overly impressed. We wouldn't rule out another visit but probably not any time soon. It was fairly busy so there was a bit of a wait for food but that wasn't an issue.

Down a side street from the main market area, but well worth finding.

Buzz cafe was recommended to me by a friend, as a place that allows (well behaved) dogs. From the outside you couldn’t possible imagine the lovely cafe inside. The place was spotlessly clean and the food was delicious. The atmosphere is wonderfully friendly and relaxed.

Lovely little cafe. Best breakfast in Wantage. Friendly staff. And the cakes are to die for. We go at least once a week.

Walking into Wantage and passed this somewhat unremarkable cafe frontage on a side road leading into the Market Place. 25 years since last visited Wantage so knew none of the places to eat. Decided to try Buzz and surprised to have found a modern oasis with clean decor, comfortable seating, warm welcome and good choice of freshly made healthy food at great price. Would definitely eat there again, and highly recommend it to others . Thank you for our lovely lunch. Two meals and two drinks for £12. Brilliant.

I've been here a few times. It's a great local cafe and always good to use local businesses. The staff are very friendly and on more than one occasion have given my little girl a treat which she has always appreciated. The food is reasonable, quick service and of good quality. My favourite is the vegetarian eggs benedict and the smoked salmon with scrambled eggs on toast. The fry up looks good which my friend always orders.

I visited the Buzz Cafe on Sunday late morning/early afternoon after it was recommended by a friend.

Great service, family friendly and delicious Guinness cake! Happy to switch fillings for me in the savoury crepe. My friend and I went with our 2 babies and were there for ages but weren't rushed at all. Service was quick.

I love this place!! I work over the road and when I do get a lunch break I love to pop in and pick something tasty. The sausage bars are delicious, the quiche is just amazing...and for the homemade cakes...well what can I say?! Always so friendly and helpful...I can never decide what I'm going to have because everything is so tasty!! Haven't eaten inside as I normally just do takeaway, however I wouldn't have a problem with doing so. Keep up the delicious recipes :)

Superbly welcoming, warm staff and management. Went with friends with many kids. Cafe was very accommodating, friendly, clean and reasonably priced.

Lovely little cafe with a good variety of reasonably priced foods. Friendly staff who will try to accommodate your needs. Lovely for a Sunday brunch and a cuppa and not far from Betjeman park to walk it off afterwards!

Este lugar es muy bien conocido por la gente y debería ser mejor utilizada. La comida es buena y abundante, parece que usar ingredientes locales. Estas son sabrosos y genial para comer. Se puede recomendar este hotel como un lugar a donde ir, barato y...

Haciendo una revisión como visitamos El Buzz un par de veces. La comida aquí es siempre preparado fresco y su agradable aquí porque las cocinas y área de servicio está totalmente abierto, así que puedes ver lo limpio que es y ver llegar preparados. El personal es extremadamente amable y acogedor. El menú no es enorme, pero que satisface a la mayoría de los gustos. Pipping buenas porciones y siempre caliente. . . Bien merece una visita. . .

Visitamos Wantage con parte de la familia y llevaron a la Buzz Cafe dos veces, y ambas veces nos recibió un personal amable y una buena selección de comida y bebida.

We called in here for morning coffee then again later for a lunchtime snack.We had a bit of a wait for our drinks however it was explained the slight delay was due to staff training which was acceptable.Very friendly staff and good atmosphere.Clean and tidy surroundings.Very handy to know that they also do gluten free options which was fully explained to us.Our lunchtime order was fulfilled quickly and well presented.Would definately go there again.

Today the Kelly tribe went to the Buzz Cafe and had a excellent Tapas lunch we tried 15 different dishes and totally enjoyed them all. A big THANK YOU to Karen and her staff this was the first day of the Tapas Lunch and they came up trumps. WELL DONE EVERYONE.

Had breakfast here and would not go again it was over cooked and the place smelt of burnt fried food.

Like to take my kids in here, friendly atmosphere. Very accomodating staff happy to make changes to suit my fussy kids! Panini's very very nice!

Staff here always make you feel welcome. The food and coffee is great- we think this is the nicest place to go for lunch in Wantage. Lovely cake too!!

Nice cafe we forgot about the time so went in for a breakfast but ended up getting sausage bap instead to take out.Staff were very friendly cannot fault them but was a little let down by the food. Coffee was not to our taste it tasted like the 50p maxi cheap coffee. Tomato sauce was cheap brand a nd very vinegary and only one sausage. I ve given then 4 star for the service and the surroundings the food needs it's game upped which we will try again with more time

poor service, erratic opening times sad Because the staff are very keen to please maybe just a bit of direction is needed

great food, good company and just the right amount of cheek thrown in, us down under kiwis love it,a great place for breakfast or lunch, free papers

This really is the best cafe in Wantage. The staff are very friendly and could not do enough for us. I agree with other reviews saying it's got a very community feel to it. Child friendly as well.The food was excellent and actually had taste - not like the cardboard food you get from Costa. One of the reviews here says the staff ignored them when they went in - there are signs all around the place saying please order at the till.....duh!

Its like a little community that every one knows everyone else and yo get newspapers . & wifi ...and paninis and bacon sarnies and welse rabit and ...well just ask .......

I go here every day to meet my friends etc and the Ladies that run it ..Its like a little community where everyone knows your name

Popped in for a coffee and a snack with my wife, was not busy, only four people there, two seated and two at the counter, after waiting to be served for what seemed like ages and never even being acknowledged, decided to leave and went to costa instead. Would not return, felt totally ignored, and is wasn't even busy.

Sometimes Buzz has a good atmoshere, friendly staff and very tasty food. Other times it can be a bit crap, slow service and food standard not up to the prices!Comedy cafe! (a faulty towers feel to it).Great little cafe, but not consistent in all the good things. Real shame.

I have been using the Buzz since it opened in April 2014 as I have a business on Mill street. My son and I have been coming here for a year now and never had bad food or service . Yes it can be busy at times but the staff are always super friendly, helpful and efficient . They have some good offers on all the time , my favourite is Tea and Toast for 99p before 09.30 . This place is friendly with both regular local and ALL customers and in no way Clicky like one reviewers said . The homemade cakes are delicious , they offer glutton free cakes also . They now offer sweet or savoury Crepes which were a hit with my son .

This place is quite obviously just a meeting place for the staff and regulars.The food does not live up to the reviews on here and can only assume that they are written by people assassinated with the place.I thought I would try it as it had good reviews but they are very misleading.Tasteless soup, cheap bread and no service at all.

I've eaten here a couple of times and both times the food has been very tasty. The maple syrup pancakes and bacon are delicious. On another occasion I had a tasty jacket potato and frozen yoghurt with an M&M topping

Since opening almost a year ago the Buzz Cafe as gone from strength to strength. They make all their own cakes and all food is made fresh and to the customers requirements. The staff are always warm friendly and welcoming. I believe that the comment from Chris OX9 is totally unfounded I personally believe he needs to get his head out of the clouds and get his feet firmly on Terra Firma and get into the real world.

I made my first visit to the Buzz cafe yesterday as requested by my grandson. The food was fresh and tasty and came in generous portions. The staff were friendly and helpful giving service second to none. My opinion is that the Buzz cafe is an asset to Wantage and I highly recommend people to give it a try.

Stopped by for tea and cake on a quiet Monday lunchtime. The ladies serving were very friendly and chatty, and the service good. Very good cake and pot of tea. Prefer it to the Costa in town.

This is the latest of a number of cafe's that have opened in Wantage, so to hold it's own it will have to be good. I am sorry the previous reviewer dint have such a good experience, for up to now I can only say good things about my visits. the welcome is as geneorus as the portions and and the service prompt. If there is a problem it is the location, just out of the town centre but the short walk is well worth the effort. yesterday i introduced two friends and I am sure they wil return.Herb N

Great service, lovely staff and the food, delicious. Nothing is too much trouble.I have had the soup on many occasions and its always freshly made, hot and tasty!! The paninis are also an excellent choice.I would thoroughly recommend this cafe - it never fails.

I love this place. The staff are friendly and welcoming, the coffee is fantastic and the choice of cold drinks is marvelous. I literally rave about the quiche (of which there are always two choices) which is served with fresh, crisp salad and homemade coleslaw. I really can't recommend this place higher and urge anyone to try this local, independent venue rather than the standard high street clones in the square.

I use the Buzz Café several times a week as I work in a local business nearby, the ladies are always without fail friendly, welcoming and chatty. A lot to be said for that when sometimes its a struggle to get eye contact and a smile from some service staff! So I am a regular visitor always happy with the food/drink and service but what prompted me to write this review is the homemade chicken pie I recently enjoyed from the Buzz Café. It was hands down the yummiest thing I've eaten in a while and I felt compelled to share this!

This café serves the best coffee in Wantage and always with a smile. The staff are efficient and friendly, always keen to help. The food is delicious especially the homemade quiche which I would highly recommend. A really good varied menu and lots of lovely cakes.

I'm afraid this isnt going to be pretty: its the second time I've been here; the first was when it was first open as I try to support local businesses.... it wasnt great but early days... Of course this isn't the case anymore... in summary the food unedible and the service was non existent.. The cafe has an offer of half sandwich and soup.. no offer of bread type at point of service. The soup is tasteless - no sign of salt or pepper.. the half sandwich is made from the dryest bread I've ever been served (its a basics supermarket white loaf), no spread on it and the contents more on the plate than in the sandwich. No cutlery at first.. no napkin ever!.... I overheard one of the 'chefs' ask another how to cook a jacket potato... never, ever again...

Lovely food and drinks , lovely staff. Place looks closed from the outside , need more lights near the windows as it looks very dull

A terrific find and even though small always worth checking out to see if have table. Breakfast was super scrummy, not just fab value but terrific quality - we'll be back!

These are the loveliest bunch of people!! After dropping in for a tasty breakfast and massive slice of home made rocky road! (Seriously huge and Sooo good!) I returned the following day while my car was in the garage - but I had unfortunately left my money in my car :( but they were nice enough to give me a hot drink on the house! And as a pregnant lady (they didn't know ) I very much appreciated it ! The customer care is second only to the size and choice of cakes! So good!!! :) thank you buzz ladies!!!!

Popped in for a coffee, but ending up having lunch. Absolutely spotlessly clean and whilst a lot of cafes have now gone for a tea room vintage look, Buzz has gone for a metropolitan look. The decor is really great in monocrome colours with 1970's framed cosmopolitan magazine covers. They have a really good menu with lots of choice for even the most picky eaterWe had soup served with a warm panini, followed by coffee and red velvet cake. It was all really fresh and tasted fantastic. The soup was even served in proper soup urns and they were very generous with the slices of cake. I agree with another reviewer that is the coffee is really good.Lots of newspapers to read and the service was really super. Would definately recommend and we will be going back next time we are in Wantage.

Lovely, stylish place to catch up with friends. Really nice, fresh milkshakes and good value too. Would recomend

Very pleasant and comfortable cafe with imaginative food selection. Friendly welcome, newspapers and wi-fi. Great to see more life like this in Mill Street

This is a new cafe in Wantage and is far superior to the other offerings. The coffee is nicer than anywhere else, the service is friendly, efficient and warm. The food is so much better than the other cafes in Wantage. They make home made Quiche which is unbelievably good. They also offer fresh sandwiches, subs and paninis and a large selection of cakes. Go here, try it and you won't go back to Costa. Oh and the WiFi is free too!

We've become somewhat of a regular visitor to Buzz since it opened mainly for their fat free frozen yoghurt which is worth a visit on it's own. The team here (Alison in particular) are very friendly and the unhurried service makes you want to relax and chat. The food quality is good. Simple home cooking on offer with lots of cakes available. I've noticed a lot of repeat business which I think is a reflection of the cafe. It beats the chain cafés hands down. Would definitely recommend and will be back.

We've been regular visitors to The Buzz since it opened.We come back for the tasty homemade quiches and salads. There is also a large range of cakes made on the premises including gluten free options. The frozen yoghurt is tasty too with a good range of options.Staff are friendly and always have time to chat and make you feel welcome. Toilet access is a little cramped.
