- The first thing that might attract you to this shop is the fancy gold leaf window sign. Once you open the door, what will keep you there are the amazing smells and the chill atmosphere. I had an iced vietnamese coffee, a rotiboy and a breakfast bun. My coffee was delicious and perfect for the warm weather. The rotiboy was soft and flaky and had a delicate sweetness to it that I really enjoyed paired with my coffee. The breakfast bun was delicious as well. First off everything smelled amazing! It was filled with eggs, a little bit of peppers and onions and steak. Service was great as well. It was my first time here and the fellow behind the counter gave me the bun suggestions. Will make it a point to visit here whenever I am in the area.

- Very conducive to studying or remote work. Lots of comfortable seating. Buns are delicious. Bathroom door handle could do with being fixed (it’s very loose, which wigs people out when they’re trying to open it), but you can’t have everything in life.

- The honey macchiato here is delicious! It’s sweet, but not too sweet. The atmosphere here is also very relaxed and the staff is friendly. I also ordered the breakfast bun and while it’s didn’t feel like my cup of tea I could see why others like it so much. I think next time around I’ll try some of the other buns that they have instead.

So, I am a frequent customer at this shop. I enjoy a pastry and coffee each time I go. Today I went back for an extra pastry and the Barista commented "you big". He and everyone there is typically generally friendly but I was disappointed in this remark. Even though it was meant to be funny, I don't appreciate that being at my expense. Either way, the staff is generally expediant. Have yet to decide if I will return, that remark rubbed me the WRONG way.

Quiet with good easy music. A good place to clear your mind.

I love the Bun Shop and it's become a favorite of mine! Great drink options, buns, and atmosphere. I like going in the morning when there aren't as many people and parking is easy, but you can usually find a spot to sit in the evening, too, although there are more students there then. The lighting is also a bit darker, which can put a little strain on the eyes if you're on a computer, but it's never stopped me from going!

I enjoy the Bun Shop and have had good experiences here in the past, but in recent visits I've noticed that their WiFi blocks any .edu websites (I tried multiple). I was told that their WiFi "sometimes messes up with school and work websites" and that there was no fix (there is no warning of this being the case before you purchase coffee or food, of course). I've experienced it often enough that it is likely happening more than "sometimes," so if you're a student or need to access school portals/resources I would stay away.

I wanted to like this place, but I was distracted by how dirty everything was...especially the floors. Layers of dust, dirt, and crumbs look like they've never been cleaned. This has to be an ongoing issue of cleanliness. The coffee was okay and the water comes from their sink tap. The bathroom was something out of Trainspotting with all the grafitti and toilet paper on a loose roll. We were confused by the hype of this place, to say the least, and the cherry on top was being followed to our car by a strange man lingering by the front door.
