Buzz Thru Joe's

I actually noticed this place on my way to Starbucks, but decided to stop here instead, because I love supporting small local businesses.Especially when they're super cute, right off the freeway, and have a decent menu selection. (Check, check, check.)The menu prices had gone up since the last time anyone posted pictures on Yelp, which was not surprising, since it's been a few months, and we all know how much food costs have been going up the past couple of years...I ended up ordering a jalapeno bagel with cream cheese and a medium sized caramel latte. Afterwards, I ended up wishing I had asked them to make that into a BLT, since their menu specified that you could request any sandwich style on any bagel.The photos of banh mi also looked very appetizing, and that was a close second choice for me. Although I would note that, on the menu, it is listed as a "pulled pork sandwich on a French roll."The latte was good-- at least as good as I would have gotten from the competition, and probably a little bit cheaper. The bagel was also surprisingly good, and spicier than expected.My only complaint would be that service was on the slower side for a "drive through." It seems like they are working on this, because the girl who came outside to take my order while I was in line told me that it was her very first day. So, maybe they just need to get the hang of the whole drive through order taking system.Overall, loved the ambiance, loved the service, loved the menu selection and food, and would definitely stop by here again.

Everything here is delicious home cooked food. Good portions and great price. We have tried several items and all have been delicious. The lady who runs it is always so happy and nice. Our favorite is the grilled pork sandwich (Bahn mi), and the lox bagel. You won't be disappointed. We make it a point to stop here every time we go up or down the pass.

We came here on our way back from a camping trip in Tahoe. We loved the idea of a drive thru coffee shop that wasn't a chain, however we went in to order anyway. The service was fast, and they were very friendly. The place is clean and very pretty with lots of windows and space to sit and enjoy your coffee. We ordered the breakfast croissant with ham and Swiss cheese, it was good but the best thing was their coffee! Vanilla iced latte was so delicious!!

Mmmm Peerless coffee! I love stopping here vs the big coffee shop (starb#%ks). The staff and owner are so nice and the coffee is awesome. I got a small coffee and a triple espresso for $5!! Their donuts and breakfast/lunch stuff looks great too, but I haven't tried them, yet. Love supporting a local business.

I ordered a lemon velvet smoothie with tapioca and whipped cream and it was the best flavor I've ever had! I couldn't stop drinking it and the small size wasn't enough.

We stopped here as an alternative to our favorite coffee / breakfast place in town .The coffee was mediocre, they forgot my wife's hot chocolate , it came late. The bagels where like the cheapest store bought junk one could possibly by. Each half of bagel was about 3/8 inch thick.The price was almost $17 for 1 small coffee, 1 small ( late) hot chocolate, 2 ridiculous bagels.Not ever going back.Not a huge dan of starbucks, but that would be better than this joint.

I love supporting local, so I make sure to stop here for coffee if I'm heading back over the hill. They have coffee drinks of nearly every kind, including daily drink specials, and the will make any coffee or espresso drink ICED for free! You can also get most drinks blended, aka "freeze" style. Joe's also has smoothies, breakfast burritos, bagels with cream cheese, croissants, muffins, scones, yogurt parfaits, salads, sandwiches, and other lunch items. The staff is always friendly, and the drive-thru only factor is pretty convenient (you can also walk-up to the window if not in a car)! Don't miss this hidden gem if you're in Colfax or just passing through :)

Small town coffee shop with a great staff that makes nice coffee drinks and serves good eats. This was a nice alternative to commercial coffee shops like Starbucks.

Really cute interior leaning into the Buzz Bee theme. Small business with good espresso that is better than the Starbucks and good food options. Donut holes were light and fluffy! Nice compliment to coffee. Service was friendly and warm.

So glad we stopped in! I wanted to try a local spot instead of just going to Starbucks and this place did not disappoint.The donuts were delicious, the staff super super friendly, my iced latte was great, and the banh mi was excellent!Would definitely be a regular here if I lived in the area.
