| - This review has nothing to do with the food or the service, mainly because I never got a chance to experience it. In fact, my sole interaction with this place last week probably lasted a whole of 5 minutes, tops.
I started taking classes this semester, and in an effort to break the work-apartment-work cycle, I started looking for coffee shops that were 24-hour, or at least open late. So, like the rest of us, I turned to Yelp for suggestions. Buzzberry: 5am-5am? Hell yeah!
A guy comes to the window and looks out at me as I'm parking. It was pretty late (I headed here after my normal study place closed at 10), so I could understand the curiosity of any one coming to an empty looking establishment. Looking back, that probably should have tipped me off, but anticipating this place to be open hadn't set off the normal red flags. I wave at him, he walks off. No big deal. I get out of my car, go to the door, and... it's locked? The dude is sitting in plain sight at the bar area, laptop open, back to me. I tapped on the door, pulled the bar, and all but banged on it to get his attention. He does not even acknowledge the fact that I'm there.
After a few minutes of awkward confusion, I looked for the hours of operation sign and found out why I was being ignored: The lobby is not 24 hours; the drive-thru is.
That's why this review is getting 1 star. Granted, this is a mistake on Yelp's part and the fact that they have no real website up doesn't help, but the guy knew I was there. He could have at least turned to face me and tell me the lobby was closed, instead of letting me stand outside in the cold with a bag full of books, knocking on the door and looking like a total idiot. The food may be great, the service (If you get it) may be amazing but I WILL NOT be coming back here.
