As a way to give back to the frontline workers in the medical field, Le Buzz Caffe has kicked off its “Cookies and Coffee for Heroes” program.
Once a month, the team will be working hard to “caffeinate and sugar up” the staff in the COVID Unit and Emergency Room at Banner – University Medical Center South.
“The reason we choose this location is because one of our beloved bakers has been unable to work with us,” said Le Buzz Caffe’s manager, Kim Budenski. “His partner is a doctor in her residency program at Banner South and is working directly with the COVID patients. He didn’t feel that it was safe to potentially expose his co-workers.”
Le Buzz Caffe has set up a GoFundMe for the community to get involved in donating the delicious cookies and cups of caffeine. Also, if you’d like to donate while visiting either of its two locations, you can do that as well.
The bakery and coffee shop now joins the likes of Feast, Senae Thai Bistro, “Tamales for Heroes” by Flores Concepts, and many other local businesses that have been lending support to those in the medical field.
It’s proof that the community can still shine a light on the gloomiest of days.
Le Buzz Caffe is located at 9121 E. Tanque Verde Rd. and 2930 N. Swan Rd. For more information about donating to the “Cookies and Coffee for Heroes” program, visit gofundme.com.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
