It allowed me to self-reflect on where my strengths and weaknesses are as they pertain to “work of the work” and the “work of the heart.” With a balanced focus on competence and character, a leader can truly thrive. Dan’s approach was both captivating and thought provoking and fueled my energy and my passion to become a better leader!”

    I have been in management for 20+ years and currently I am responsible for a facility which employs over 500 people. Over the years I have attended over 40+ seminars and training classes offered by my company and countless opportunities from other organizations.

    "Our first time there was a few days ago while we were visiting family for Labor Day. I WISH we had one of these where we live. The lady at the window was so helpful in helping us make a decision. The best coffee I’ve ever had was on my honeymoon in Costa Rica, and aside from that, this is the best coffee I’ve ever had! I orderEd a half-sweet, iced OG. So amazing and creamy! We’ll be going every time we come down now."

    "I happened to catch a glimpse as I was driving by and decided to make a U-turn to check it out. There was a long line of cars, so I figured there was a reason. We were greeted by a very friendly young lady who was very helpful with concocting our order. I love that they have kid sized beverages- kiddo loved the smoothie. I got a pumpkin caramel breve which was really good as well. We'll definitely be back."

    "I’ve been coming to this coffee shop ever since they opened. Every time I come over I grab myself a hot blitz with oat milk, talk about the consistency of flavors and roasts. This is my number one favorite place for a coffee. I’ve never had a bad experience when it came to making my drink OR the friendly experience provided by all of the staff. If you want 11/10 customer service Urban Buzz is the way to go. There will never be a time where you’re not greeted with smiles and “how do you do’s”. Not to mention they are incredible at remembering your order, so well that when they see my CAR I have a hot blitz waiting for me at the window. This is a very unique, friendly, overall amazing place to go I recommend to ALL of my friends and whoever is viewing this review!"

    "Best. Coffee. Stand. Period. They must be doing something right because no matter what hour you go, they are busy. The drinks are well crafted, tasty and strong. Every barista there is super friendly and will customize a drink to your liking.Their drinks are priced fairly too. I can get 4 custom drinks under $20...you know you can't do that at Starbucks. I also love how they have a kid size drink option! My kids love the strawberry smoothie. A must try in Cape Coral. I'm so happy I found my coffee spot!"
