Buzz Café thrives on the concept of using less while consuming in a smarter fashion. We offer meal options you can feel good about. The natural, organic, ethically and locally sourced ingredients that make up every dish at the café are a driving force behind our success. We offer a variety of vegan and vegetarian options ensuring that there is something for everyone. Our certified fair trade coffee is delivered weekly by local roasters from within the area. The use of local distributors contributes positively to the community because it keeps other small businesses nearby alive rather than sourcing materials from large companies who undercut mom-and-pop businesses. Additionally, it cuts down on unnecessary emissions that are typically created from transporting goods across the country. You can dine at Buzz Café knowing that the food that we put in your bodies is socially and environmentally conscious.

Over the last eight years, we’ve been composting all its own waste. On a weekly basis, we fill a two-yard dumpster with compost. This composting practice dramatically decreases the amount of waste deposited into a landfill.
We are able to use less by serving all orders in biodegradable packaging; whether it be cups, plates, straws, forks, knives, or containers. We invite you to bring your own reusable cup, we’ll take $.50 off your order!
We are proud to serve locally roasted organic fair trade coffee which we get from our friends at Metropolis Coffee Company out of Chicago!
We source as much of our food product from small local farms and co-ops that we can! In fact, all our Bacon, Eggs, Chicken, and Burgers from the Wettstein Organic Farm in Carlock, IL.
Our bakery case is always filled with yumminess, but did you know not all of it's made at Buzz? Our donuts, muffins, and some of our pastry product comes from Bennison's Bakery in Evanston, IL.
We behave responsibly as a company not only through environmental issues, but social ones as well. We employ thirty individuals with about twenty-two being part-time and the rest full-time. What makes Buzz Café unique in its business practice is that they willingly employ ex-offenders. By employing ex-offenders, we are actively giving back to the community by offering decent work opportunities to all regardless of their past.
