    I visited this Better Buzz location at night, around 6p mid week. The place was busy and the drive thru line was robust. I walked up to the ordering window and a young man greeted me. He asked how he could help me and what I was thinking about ordering. I purchased a gift card for my best friend's birthday. He was able to handle the transaction within 3 mins. He also told me that they have pastries available at all hours; impressive. The visit was quick and he had great customer service. Thanks!

    Banana pudding and horchata latte are good

    That banana pudding drink should be a STAPLE just a big hint - Especially for the banana lovers ! That's my go to! But I see it's only for limited time - Love the customer service!

    Somebody give Andres a raise!! Andres went above and beyond to take our order perfectly. He was friendly, clear, and had great communication with everyone in the car.

    Tonight and two weeks ago, the gentlemen working the night shift around 8pm were not attentive. I stood three minutes at the window listening to them chit chat and laugh. N they never checked the camera or window to see if people were there. On both occasions, I stood with two other people, waiting patiently. This is ridiculous. I stopped giving tips! They don't deserve it!

    Ricky was awesome! Super friendly, easy to talk to, and had such a positive attitude. He made my drink exactly how I wanted it, and the coffee was amazing. Great customer service and a great cup of coffee always make my day. Thanks, Ricky! I'll definitely be back.

    Love this coffee shop! Great location. Great service. Drive thru can be a bit hectic, but overall, they're pretty expedient! Drinks and pastries are always on point. The horchata iced coffee latte is my favorite! It's a delicious blend of traditional Mexican horchata and coffee. If you love coffee, this version will be your new favorite to sip on a nice, hot day. Highly recommend trying this place out if you're looking for a unique menu offering fresh brewed small batch coffees, handcrafted lattes, breakfast sandwiches and delicious açaí bowls.

    I love BEtter Buzz Coffee , I'm so glad they brought back the zucchini loaf , it's the only loaf I order here . Tracy is by far my favorite staff member at the Bonita location . She is always hustling and ready to help . She deserves employee of the month!

    I want to start by saying I luv Better Buzz. I'm happy there is a location in Bonita near my family's neighborhood. I live in LA and visit SD often. My sister & I chose the walk service since drive thru is always busy. We weren't sure what to order a very nice lady offered to assist but we were still deciding , once we were ready we placed our order for coffee & decided to have a pastry. We had asked for an item but it was sold out or not available. We asked for another item and we was served by a different person. she seemed like she was not in the mood or just had a dry personality. My point being I know we all have bad days but this person seemed like she was just doing what she had to do. I will return to this location since it's convenient but sad that we just felt like she was forced to serve is ;-(.

    Cinnamon Pistachio Best Drink Ever, with two extra espresso shots

    I love, love, love Better Buzz! I was so excited when it opened in Bonita. I used to be a total Starbucks fanatic, but Better Buzz completely won me over--the quality of their drinks is consistently amazing and always delicious. You can really taste the difference, and I appreciate how creative and well-balanced their menu is. I've loved it so much that I've honestly put everyone around me onto Better Buzz, friends and family included, and now they're hooked too. The only thing I'd change is the length of time the seasonal flavors stick around. I just wish they lasted a little longer than a month because they're so good! I barely get the chance to enjoy them before they're gone. Overall, I absolutely love this place and find myself coming back way more often than I expected. Definitely one of my go-to coffee spots now.

    Just tried the breakfast carnitas tacos and they came out super fresh and tasty! what a wonderful and patient team especially dealing with the cars outside, thank you guys for servicing our community.

    I had a wonderful drive thru Experience this morning at this Better Buzz. Brooke has such a positive and bubbly energy which made this early visit a memorable one. Thank you Brooke for taking our order and for being so KIND!

    I ordered the cinnamon pistachio best drink ever and asked for it half sweet and it did not disappoint, it was so good I came back for a second the following day and ordered it with an extra shot and it came out perfect. The drink comes with whole pistachios which I enjoyed. I also ordered the carnitas breakfast taco and chili jam sausage croissant and they both were good and very filling. Drive thru service was fast and staff was friendly.

    Best drink ever but sub the vanilla for 1/2 coconut powder - Bianneys recipe!!

    A weird experience but the effort is appreciated…read more Came in one weekend out of convenience, we were driving around the area and my gf highly recommended it. We parked and noticed nearly all the lights were off. The pastry cabinet was empty, the tables were taped off. But people were inside and customers were in line. Emotions and energy were low, it was quiet and dim vibes all around. We walk in and see just one man working the cashier and making the drinks. He looked puzzled, a bit lost. We get in line behind someone ordering 4+ drinks and see that this guy didn't really know how to make the drinks. He was misplacing the ingredients and wasn't fully confident operating the payment system. The back counter was cluttered with miscellaneous gadgets, appliances, and syrups. It took nearly 20 minutes for the customer in front of us to get from ordering to receiving their drinks and we just watched in slight awe. The guy was apologetic and upfront, he was trying his best in a bad situation. They made some small talk and hinted that they were closing due to supply chain disruptions in Hawaii. I feel for them and wish them well. The coffee itself was ok. Flavor was decent but somewhat unremarkable. They offer different caffeine levels, up to I think 400mg in a drink. I just got the 200mg coffee. Don't know if I just built a tolerance but I fell asleep right after. We did want a pastry but with the baked goods cabinet empty, we weren't sure what they had left to offer. There was a long sign listing everything sold out between the pastries and coffee flavors. Overall the experience was odd and left a slightly bitter emotional taste in my mouth. They've acknowledged that they weren't in the best condition at that point and I do feel unfair to judge them at their worst. If they turn it around, I'm opening to revisiting. But for now, I don't feel compelled to go out of my way for it.

Place is big and has lots of tables where to sip uour coffee and/or work. Service is super fast, at least for a Friday at 11am.

Service was ok - friendly-ish but also kind of seemed the workers were a little distracted with each other lol. I stood there at the front counter for maybe 5 minutes before someone even acknowledged me.

It was fairly clean but there was some things that could've used a wipe down lol also would've been nice if there were outlets for computer chargers. It's owned by a church which is nice but there is definitely room for improvement as a business!

The chips were very crispy however. I think it's a great option for folks in the area, however I would not return given it's not located in my community and can find not your preferred closer to me. There were folks in their meeting and working and although it may be a little noisy, it is a great option to work from.

Customer service felt pretty meh, and with construction making the parking lot a bit of a hassle, it just didn't feel like the easiest stop. The liquor store owner was also standing outside checking where people were parking which felt a little bizarre being that there's not many parking spots. Glad I gave it a try, but probably wouldn't go back.

I also ordered the pesto turkey sandwhich to share and I can not express how good this was. Perfectly crispy, juicy and fresh. Took the first bite and literally gasped because not only was the bread toasted to perfection but the veggies and turkey were so flavorful. The veggies and pesto and turkey were also layered in a way that made every bite delectable and that to me is art. Loved it, want more of it and I WILL be back to try more drinks and sandwhiches.

It's third ave I mean if you are from San Diego you know it's either neighborhood parking or the meters. Not a big deal though. I am greeted by Karely and her big smile, one of the baristas. It is tiny location but long, they have two gender neutral bathrooms at the end. A few tables to sit down inside and out. A cute bench with the view of third ave traffic. Interior decor is super cute I loved, one of my favs was this board they have which is a basically you pay a coffee forward and you put the sticky there for the next person to get their drink. I totally don't work there so I would just reconfirm what can be redeemed. Drink: I get an iced dirty chai WITH banana cold foam. 10/10 must try. They also offer matcha for you matcha lovers. Grind house has found a new customer and yes, I've already brought so many friends here. My only suggestion would be to maybe have a phone charging station, that's all! :)
