Looking for coffee in the Skyway Marina District? The Buzz, next to Vintage Marché, is the most recent addition. ☕🛍

While Vintage Marché has been up and running since 2020, The Buzz opened just last month. Owner Paul Donofrio noticed people were spending a long time in the vintage market and craved a drink or sweet pastry as they shopped. He asked himself, what’s “a place that I’d want to hang out at?”

The Buzz then turned from an idea in 2024 to reality in 2025.

Wait, are Gulfport property taxes going up or not?

Well, both, really.
