Mayan buzz is one of those coffee shops that just... It has a wonderful vibe, great general culture, and is a fairly comfortable space. I dont go often enough, and that fact alone tells me I enjoy it.

Fantastic place! I got a frozen horchata latte and a cheddar herb bagel and both were top notch! If I lived in the area this would definitely be my go to place.

It was my first time there, and i just loved the friendly staff. While i was there, i had prompt service and delicious food. Plus as an added bonus, they now serve ice cream! Great atmosphere.

A few months ago I used to be a regular, in almost daily, food and coffee were both A+ then but now after the pandemic production quality seems to have went down drastically, I ordered a Denver sandwich which they would make the eggs for in house and now they come in what is now like an egg patty and the onions were just thrown on top instead of being cooked in like they use to, and they didn’t have any of the croissants for them which were usually the best part before. I also got a dark chocolate mocha and it was nothing like it use to be, it was watery and a lot less flavorful and well made as it use to be. I get the pandemic has been hard on a lot of business and I am a service industry worker downtown so I’ve seen it first hand but I’m sad to see the quality go so far down cause it use to be the best cup of coffee in town in my opinion. Also this was all for over 30$ for two cups of coffee and two sandwiches which is so steep.

Excellent service but not so affordable, 5 bucks for a large cappuccino? i guess thats competitive with Starbucks, but a not very strong one at that

Deserves a five star review. The atmosphere is so calm and wonderful, the Baristas are very knowledgeable in menu options and also are very helpful towards questions about food items and coffee, I love every aspect of this cafe.

Laid back atmosphere. Combination of chili and coffee was new to me. Most coffees come only in 16 oz.

Went in to get tamales. No tamales in stock. Asked for some kind of pastrie to go with coffee. There are none. Only savory flavors which do not jive with sweet coffee...my word of advice...if you are going to serve food in a coffee shop at least have some sweets. And keep tamales on hand because theyre the best. Came all the way downtown on a broken foot specifically to get these tamales! Anyway the service was great but my tummy and taste buds are suffering. Also I feel like there should be some jazz playing. Not elevator jazz but real jazz.

It has wonderful flavored coffee and they have some delicious food especially made for the cold weather.

Review №23

This place has heart. its a blend of 90s idea of theming, with bold colors and jungle motifs, and contemporary coffee shop culture. while I personally prefer upscale, minimalist approaches to coffee, they do have a lot of interesting spiced signatures to choose from. I really enjoyed the churro donuts, which the barista made completely to order!

Great Coffee this morning. Thank you.

Forgot my wallet and wanted to use Apple Pay. I was excited because the door said they took all forms of payment including Apply Pay. I ordered my drink and when I tried to pay, the barista said the card reader was broken. I gave him a couple seconds to see if he would give me other options (like wash a few dishes in the back or take down my card number to charge manually) but he just said “sorry.” I said, “okay” and walked away. I’m not 100% sure because people might take advantage of this, but if a form of payment you advertise on your door is broken, you might want to offer a free drink and in return get a glowing review on Google and Facebook.

After a friend invited me here for coffee it has become on of my favorite places to grap a cup of coffee and something to eat. The strawberry banana smoothie and chicken salad sandwich was pretty good today.

Coffee is nothing incredible and inconsistent (the same drink tastes different depending on who makes it). Parking can occasionally be a challenge. There is a nice environment though. Nothing here is really outstanding, nor is anything incredibly terrible to prevent you from coming.

Today was the first..walking distance from work about 3 minutes. Heard it was pretty good and I can confirm my sandwich was great. Not a huge sandwich menu but I have a hard time deciding anyhow so its good for me. Will return and will try a coffee beverage next time. Great addition to the neighborhood.

Dont come here too often, but going to start. They seem to have a pretty wide range of drinks and food options. Drinks only come in one size though.Open mic night group is super friendly! They definitely have a family vibe :)

Every Saturday morning I come here I am always able to find a seat to work. It’s a great atmosphere for finishing grad class assignments. The bagels are absolutely delicious and the chai lattes are great too. Free city parking on weekends! Thanks GR.

The staff here is very friendly and helpful. Pastries and bottled drinks are offered here, making it a convenient pit stop for people going to and from the bus station. Admittedly, I did not try their in-house beverages during my visit.

Review №43

My wife and I stopped by the Cafe on a Sunday and really liked the place. It had a nice comfortable atmosphere with interesting decor. The staff was very courteous and made very good drinks. I tried the signature Maya Buzz Cappuccino and was delighted by the experience (with cayenne pepper, cinnamon (I think), and some chocolate, not what I was expecting when I ordered it, but quite enjoyable). We grabbed a bagel on our way out and found it to be fresh and delicious. We also appreciated the fact that they use local companies for their supplies, GR Bagels for their baked goods and Grand Rapids Coffee Roasters for their coffee.

Good atmo. Music was quieter/not intrusive like some joints. You can reserve a spot ahead of time for larger group meetings. Nice staff. 43 minimum seating capacity.

Review №45

This is a great business that cares about the community which is evident through the many drives they have hosted in benefit of those in need. I have been going to this business for a while and the staff are always welcoming. The open mic nights that are hosted on Thursday nights are amazing for anyone who does not have a ton of experience reading poetry or preforming music that they have written. This is a very encouraging environment.

This coffee shop is open 24 hours. They are located in a great spot downtown right across from a brewery and a few bars. This is the perfect place for late night conversation. They also make their own veggie cream cheese.

Review №53

I have visited the buzz in the past, coffee early in the morning I like on, Friday nights for a couple of pick me up espressos always perfect. I have sat on meeting and always have been a happy customer. Untill tonight Thursday night I purposely visited to listen to the open mic artists. I arrived order a pot of chamomile and found myself a sit to wait for my tea and the performances to start, but this was a game changer. As each artists spoke, sang, expressed their minds through art it became clear Mayan Buzz is much more than coffee. Is community, a safe place where one can be; without concern just he one-self.

Review №54

I come here all the time for a great mocha or an americano, and a croissant sandwich. The food and coffee is pretty well-priced. It also makes for a great study spot since they stay open pretty late on the weekends. Also Thursday nights is Open Mic night, which I highly recommend for anyone that wants to experience some great work!

Review №55

During a long layover in Grand Rapids MI on my greyhound travel I had stopped in. This is a relaxing atmosphere and the Club sandwich on a croissant is the bomb. I dont give many 5 star ratings but this place will be visited again if I ever have another extensive layover in G.R. . Well worth what I paid in total with the pour over coffee and experience all around.

The atmosphere is okay, seats were not terribly comfortable and the music is too loud and lively for all the talking and sounds of machines....I sound old, lol, but I dont like hearing music so loud despite the fact that my headphones are on listening to a webinar.The coffee was just okay, but they have a nice variety of drinks and I like that they are so nicely posted! Ill try something else next time.

I heard about this new 24/7 coffee shop in town called Mayan Buzz from a friend so we decided to check it out. Marcos customer service is excellent. He treated us with respect and the space is a good working environment. I tried a special made Costa Rican coffee pour over and the hot chocolate, both have a unique flavor at a rather affordable price compared with other coffee shops. I plan to be here often!

Great staff and even better food. They have homemade quality food that doesnt leave you with the fast food gut rot feeling. The best part is they are open 24 hours so its great for those second and third shifters or the college student burning the books all night.

This is a small locally-owned Cafe with a very friendly staff and a very unique variety of drinks. They also have a great-tasting variety of bagels and food. I will say their prices are a bit expensive, but it is locally owned and the food does taste good.

For someone who cant consume eggs - theres just one measly option. And it isnt priced too well.The coffee was mediocre. And the service too. Im sad that Bridge Street couldnt find a cafe that served up food as awesome as its produce.

My son and I live in Phoenix, AZ and one of our favorite cafes makes an excellent horchata latte. While we were visiting GR we discovered this place also makes them, so we tried it and were unfortunately disappointed to find out they don’t actually make them with horchata but some type(s) of syrup that are supposed to taste like horchata.

The coffee shop is a nice place to study. Plenty of outlets for the dying computer. I always order a dirty chai wherever I go and I was not a fan of theirs. It definitely has a licorice tone which I am not a fan of. Reminds me of some unfortunate German nights involving Jagermeister.
