Without coffeehouses, the sleep deprived would have to spend all day attached to a phone charger to stay awake and phones would have to drink sugary sodas to make calls. Recharge your batteries with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of eclectic fare, coffee, and wine at The Local Buzz in Cape Elizabeth.

A community-oriented coffeehouse and wine bar, The Local Buzz serves a morning, evening, and kids' menu of pastries, paninis, appetizers, and locally made baked goods. Pair a trio of nuts ($2.50), including organic nori and curry and maple cashews, with the hummus-, pita-, and olive-laden Mediterranean platter ($7.50) for a perfect midafternoon or early mid-dusk snack. Select a sip of tea or java from Coffee by Design or adopt an of-age quaff from diverse drink lists of wines and locally brewed beer. The Local Buzz plays host to a variety of events, making it an ideal destination for a lively family outing, an intimate evening date, or a hair-raising combination of both.
