BUZZ is a labor of love with several years of planning behind it. As a resident of my Southwest Atlanta neighborhood for over a decade, I found myself spending my time and money elsewhere in Atlanta. I wanted to bring my experience in other areas to my home, but unique to this wonderful community. I wanted to provide a gathering spot and a sense of place for diverse residents.
BUZZ will be a premier stop for art, culture, and community. We will feature premium coffee from Stumptown Coffee Roasters as well as Old World and New World wines in an art filled setting. Come see what the BUZZ is all about!
