I’m upset we haven’t found this place sooner. What an awesome little spot. My wife and I went for a couple drinks, browsed the store, and bought some great looking books we can’t wait to read. We loved the little note reviews they put in the books, and that actually helped us make our selections. The woman there was very personable and helpful. We will definitely be back soon! Great vibes!

We hosted a small celebration for a friend’s marriage here, and it was absolutely perfect! The atmosphere was warm and inviting. We could sip great wine and socialize while browsing an incredible selection of books. Ryann made the entire experience exceptional. She went above and beyond to accommodate our group, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Her attentiveness and hospitality truly made the night special. The charcuterie board she prepared was not only delicious but beautifully arranged. Highly recommend this unique and cozy spot!

Thank God for this little paradise in Ocean City. It’s a wine bar and book shop all in one. I love The Buzzed Word for two really good reasons:
1. I love reading and the selection of books here are awesome. Such a wide variety, something for everyone, and most have a handwritten note from the owner on a little bit of what to expect about the book like a mini review or why it’s a great read and things like that. I LOVE that personal touch about this place.
2. The wine. I can drink wine anywhere…sure. But the wine selection here is SO good. Undoubtedly, the best wine selection in Ocean City but that’s just my opinion. Really delicious wines, organic wines, and unique wines that have expanded my horizons so much. And everyone there is super helpful and knowledgeable on wines, notes, and recs on what to drink which I appreciate a lot!
Come here to hang with friends and have some drinks, come here to sit and read with a glass of wine, pick up a new book, a bottle of wine to go, or find some fun little treasures to buy (so many cute things in there and I’ve seen some really cool retro / vintage things to buy too. Oh, and please please go to the bathroom (paying customer) when you visit and read the beautiful poems framed on the wall.
They have light snacks and other things to drink besides wine. Parking is never an issue.
