The Buzz Cafe, in downtown Baton Rouge in the historic Varsity Building, 340 Florida St., has opened a second location in Baton Rouge Community College’s Bienville building student center.

The Buzz Cafe at 201 Community College Drive is “the only food vendor for a steadily growing community college,” said owner David M. Kees. “Our new head chef is Jeremy Debatz, a graduate of the Louisiana Culinary Institute in Baton Rouge.”

Open from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, the eatery’s menu is similar to that at the downtown location: sandwiches, salads, specialty wraps and Italian grilled panini sandwiches. It also offers a daily hot plate breakfast and lunch for less than $6.95, Kees said.

The BRCC location also has a pizza section which offers personal pizzas and a grill section that features cheeseburgers, French fries, fried chicken and hot wings.
