Hidden Gem. Frozen Lemonade with strawberry was sooo good. Especially on a hot day. White Chocolate Ice Coffee was bomb also. Panini was more of a grilled or pressed sandwich but still good cheese sandwich on sour dough. Service was great, sooooo dog friendly. Would go back for the atmosphere and people!!

While passing thru town I stopped for a recharge and absolutely loved this place! Everyone working was friendly and energetic. The panini was probable the best I've ever had, and the drink... I asked for a latte, no sugar-bombs, and got this little cup of smooth, pure, octane. I can't score this one for the latte art, but could have ran to the 101 after drinking it!

We stopped in at Buddy's coffee thinking it was you're regular coffee shop, we were wrong.
It was so much more and four days later we came back and the beautiful young lady that's works here remembered me and my husband and our order from days prior.
Very nice clean place. And you feel at home.
Not only that a beautiful wall of dogs pictures.
When you see the beautiful plants that are inside you can tell the owners and the employees love what they do.
I love Buddy's coffee,
I hope my husband and I can return soon.

Excellent experience! Good location, super friendly, delicious food and drinks! Had the roast beef sandwich- the cream horseradish sauces was freaking awesome!
On the way to Mendocino and was a perfect stop!

This is an awesome stop at the lake! Great coffee and excellent service. They have a ton of food options (but we didn't stop for lunch). Must try!

I stopped in to grab a quick lunch for my family. The place was almost completely empty. I was a little surprised because the reason we ended up there was after heading to another coffee shop and finding it too packed to wait. I soon realized the reason may have been that the two staff people working there were not wearing masks. There was also a sign by the register that made me think they may have some moral objection to them (see picture). Because we were running late, and I had two hungry kids I made the regrettable decision of placing an order anyway. We ordered two shakes, two sodas, four hot dogs, and a couple bags of chips. The two staff people were very kind, but seemed almost purposeful in their attempts to get close to me when handing me my food. As though they were also opposed to the concept of social-distancing. It left me with an odd feeling, and we will not return. In a different time, I would have loved everything about this little coffee shop. But not during a pandemic.
